# The Filter Tab: Mass Assignment

**Objective**: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you’ll learn another method of assigning quantities from a Revit element to a VECTOR assembly

                         [https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Mass-Assignment.mp4](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Mass-Assignment.mp4)

#### Build Screen

Make sure you are on your **Build Screen** inside of your **VECTOR Bid**

Ensure your **Page** is selected and that it is utilizing a valid filter set and **REVIT Elements** are appearing on the page

#### Assemblies

Make sure you have all necessary **Assemblies** added to your **Scenario** and your relevant **Pages**

#### Mass Assignment

**Mass Assignment** can be use if you want to perform assignment across all **Pages** in the **Bid** at the same time

Hover over the **Family Type** branch in the **Filter Tree** on the right hand side and the **Assign Assembly** button should appear

#### Assembly Modal

Click the **Assign Assembly** button

When the new window opens, click the drop-down arrow under **Scenario Assembly**

Select the **Assembly** from the list that should receive the quantities from the identified **Family Type**

Once selected, click the check box to "Apply this assembly to all pages of the Scenario"

Click **Assign**

The three **Elements** belonging to this **Family type** on this **Page** have been aggregated as take off on your selected assembly

In addition, you can see on the **Bid Tree** that take off was activated for the same assembly in two additional pages

#### **Additional Assembly**

Click into an **Assembly** for one of the other pages in the **Bid Tree**

**By utilizing the Mass Assignment feature the application:**

- Searched all **Pages** inside of the **Bid structure**

- Identified whether or not any **Elements** exist belonging to the selected family type

When they are detected they will be selected and the matching target **Assembly** was inserted and the assignment process automatically aggregated the takeoff quantities to that assembly
