The Tool Chest is where you save commonly used markups — like pre-labelled areas, counts, polylines, or notes — so you don’t have to recreate them every time. You can organise tools by trade, scope, or project type and access them in seconds. Tools can include pre-set colours, subjects, layers, custom columns, and even costs — making it perfect for standardising workflows across teams and jobs.

🛠 Common Use Cases

• Saving trade-specific takeoff tools (e.g., "100mm Slab Area", “Double GPO”)

• Storing visual markup tools (e.g., expansion joints, cloud notes, scope boxes)

• Reusing customised count tools across jobs (e.g., basins, posts, powerpoints)

• Applying pre-set unit costs or labels to speed up estimating

• Creating scope templates by project stage or build type

• Sharing toolsets with staff or subcontractors to standardise markups

✅ Benefits

• Massive time savings — no need to rebuild markups every time

• Consistency across plans, projects, and users

• Pairs with Layers, Custom Columns, and Legends

• Organisable by folders, trade, or project type

• Easy to export, import, and share — ideal for teams or systemised quoting

• Build Toolchests by trade (Electrical, Concrete, Landscaping) and stage (Slab, Frame, Fix). Combine with Custom Columns for quoting-ready markups
