Solibri contains example Excel templates for reporting default ITOs. ITO definitions can have multiple reporting templates. You can edit the templates from the Report Information Takeoff dialog or or from the resource path where the templates are located.
You can create two types of ITO reports:
-
Plain Excel report
Includes all columns and rows from ITO view with no formatting
WYSIWYG report
-
Excel template report
ITO report templates already exist for the out-of-the-box ITO definitions that reside in the Information Takeoff folder of Solibri

If needed, change the report title. The title suggested by Solibri is always the name of the current ITO.
Important
Ensure that the name of the report or template you're saving is different from any existing one, because a file with the same name will overwrite the existing report or template. No notification of this is displayed.
