The Design label panel is used to efficiently label all non‐plant items on a drawing. Design labels can also be used to create a material list much the same as Plant labels. Design labels are meant to be descriptive labels that can also contain information about quantity, size and price. If you are using Manage360 you can link to a Material or Kit (or Hardscape) as well as label directly with Kits, Materials (or Hardscapes) to create detailed estimates.
Design labels are meant to eliminate the need for labeling items twice: once to describe the item and once for estimating or takeoffs. Design labels have been designed to be able to do both at the same time.
