The steps in words

Click Cost report You see the estimate's totals by cost code.
Look down the divisions Every cost code sits under its division, with the division's subtotal. Here's concrete.
Find steel deck It has two lines, both in square metres, so its quantity is their total, 1,460 m2, with their hours and costs added too.
Hover over mixed Structural concrete has cubic and square metres, so it says mixed instead of adding them. The tooltip says why.
Filter by location Filter by area, location or cost type. Say, Location: Level 1.
See just Level 1 Now only Level 1's lines count. Subcontractors and preliminaries have no location, so they're left out.
Click a row It goes straight to its first line on the Estimate tab.
