Takeoff API Enhancement: Write Access for Settings, Classifications and Packages

We are pleased to announce the availability of the first set of write API to Autodesk Takeoff. A set of six(6) new endpoints gives you a write access to settings, classifications and packages. In addition to the new endpoints, location attribute (locationId) is added to existing GET takeoff-items endpoint. 

Using the new set of write API, you are able to: 

• update the measurement system in settings for a project 
• create, update and delete classification systems for a project 
• create and rename a takeoff package for a project 

The new location attribute (locationId) in GET takeoff-items enables you to:

• determine the location associated with a takeoff item. 

Documentation
