Preparing Revit models for cost/quantity takeoff!

I've had many requests to show quantity takeoff workflows in more detail, particularly in Dynamo. Before we can do this, our data must be clean and structured. This video shows how you can do this by adding some additional data and cleaning what is there. In the next video we will extract quantities using Dynamo and produce a visual report. I hope you enjoy the session and learn something new!
