New feature: Copy and paste takeoffs.

After selecting a suitable takeoff (or multiple takeoffs, as you’ll discover in paragraph 2 in this post, it’s now feasible! ), Here’s how you can make use of the copy-paste feature in Takeoff:

• Takeoffs can be copied by pressing the icon in the toolbar that appears right after you select a launch. You’ll notice that the copies appear semi-translucent, allowing you to reposition them according to your desired plan.
• Copy your takeoffs by clicking the leftmost button on the mouse. Also, you will see an orange message at the bottom of your screen advising you that you can paste your takeoffs that you copied multiple times and at various locations by pressing your “Ctrl” key. You may even copy the beginning (subtraction) onto a different takeoff.
• You may also choose another plan page and paste your takeoffs copied onto it by pressing the left button on the mouse. It will be apparent that the takenoff that you copied is pasted onto the new plan page and then included in the report due to the “Results for the entire project” function that is activated.
