Select a different layer for the Existing or Proposed layer

  1. Open a job in the Manage Earthwork Estimates screen.
  2. Select the Takeoff tab, if it is not already active.
  3. Click Estimating > Earthwork > Takeoff > Layer Manager in the All Tasks pane.
  4. In the Existing Layer field, click to select the layer to use as the existing layer for the job.
    Note: If you digitized soil borings on the current existing layer, you will need to digitize the soil borings again for the new layer because soil borings are saved with the currently selected Existing layer of the job.
  5. In the Proposed Layer field, click to select the layer to use as the proposed layer for the job.
  6. To close the Layer Manager and begin digitizing elevations for the new layer, click Close.
    Note: The Active Layer field on the toolbar displays either Existing or Proposed, because you selected the layer you wanted to use for each in the Layer Manager.
