To create and edit assemblies, you need to open the **Assemblies Database** tab on the main project page in Kreo 2D Takeoff first.

# **How to edit an assembly?**

In order to **edit** any previously created assembly, you need to click on the **Expand icon** near the assembly's name & click on the row with the assembly's data which appears.

Once you're happy with edits, press **Save** at the top of the panel.

# **Operations available with assemblies**

Aside from simple operations, such as Expand all / Collapse all / Reset columns / Autosize all columns, you can also:

-   Duplicate assemblies
    
-   Delete assemblies
    
-   Create new groups
    

To perform any of these operations, right click on the necessary assembly and select the relevant operation.

# **Set your view in the Assemblies Base**

1.  Leave only necessary assemblies in your view by filtering them. To do this, hover over the name of any column and click on the icon which appears. There select the **filter icon** and (un)tick the relevant columns.  
    ​
    
2.  You can also set your view in the Assemblies base and remove unnecessary columns or add some. To do this, hover over the name of any column and click on the icon which appears. There select the last option and (un)tick the relevant columns.
