Thanks for the video! Turns out I was doing this all wrong and I was actually creating more work for me.
You are very welcome. Glad I could help.
Thanks that really helps alot
Just took/passed the exam. There was no general knowledge component or time limit in the current iteration. Good video
Hi Jay, you are correct. The removed the general knowledge portion of the test on level 1 & 2 last January. They have made the test harder but easier to pass. Confusing huh? Here's why. No time limit, you can go in & out of the test as many times as you want w/o failing. You can also take the test as many times as you want in a year without having to repay. And the test doesn't change. If someone can't pass the test, they just aren't trying. Thanks for your comments and I guess it's time for me to update the video.
Thank you...
Very good
repetition is the path to retention- practice, practice, practice. the rest depends on learning style- I like to recording it and type it up (without paying too much attention to it) its a good way to get it in the subconscious. but not everyone types things.
Thank you for your post. I agree 1000% with the "practice, practice, practice" comment. The problem with a lot of classes is they don't leave you with anything to practice or you haven't gotten the retention yet and can't remember how to do it. By giving youy access to the class for a year, there are no excuses for not practicing. You need the knowledge to practice and I am providing that knowledge for a year so the student can practice all they need. Thanks again for your input.
@@alfredrey5518 how much do your classes cost? Preferably online after business hours
Crest is amazing!! Thank you!!
Hola, donde se cambia y-o configura en el programa a la opcion Español..ya que veo que las pestañas estn es Español....Gracias!

How do you add Depreciation to a bid item?
You have to depreciate it by a percent or fixed amount. Age / condition is taken based on the life expectancy of that item inserted by Verisk. Since you created the item, Xactimate doesn't know the life expectancy and therefore can't take a percentage of it based on that life expectancy. So you need to change the type of depreciation from Age/Condition to Percent or amount and you will enter the percentage or fixed amount based on your carrier guidelines.
@xactimatetrainingbycrestll5943 I was doing that at first but it wouldn't change. But I just figured out that I needed to go into the parameters tab under Claim Info and check the box for "Depreciate Non-Material" in order for the bid item depreciation to change. It also changed the depreciation for non-bid items but luckily I still had the correct depreciation amounts for those items noted. Thanks for answering my question though!
@@kenesco283 Hi Ken - you don't have to change it back to "Depreciate Non-Material" to get it to depreciate. The reason it didn't depreciate is because when you created the bid item, you put in the total amount and Xactimate did not know if it is material or labor so it didn't depreciate it. If you click on the Item Information button (the little button with an I next to the calculator in the unit price tab), it allows you to enter the material and labor for that Bid Item. Then Xactimate know how much to depreciate with the percent or amount of the material price you entered. That way it doesn't change the rest of your estimate since you don't have to check off the "Depreciate Non-Material" box. Hope this helps. By the way, it took a little bit of playing around with it to figure that out so thanks for the challenge.
@@xactimatetrainingbycrestll5943 Awesome! That's super helpful! Thank you so much for looking into it.
Can I make line items bold in xactimate mobile? Thanks
I never had a problem with my demensions and measurements missing when I wrote up my bid but if you dont have an estimating tool insurance companies will nickel and dime using something like Simbility which is the bane of many contractor's existence not to mention the customers trying to get the reaaonable payout for their insurance claim. I think there is maybe two companies in my entire town that even uses an estimating tool but it is always Xactimate. Downloaded and paid for this for mobile and doesn't work as I apparently do not have the correct writing program. DISTO is what it says I need to use. Guess it is time for a new laptop as my old one is not sufficient.
Taking my X1 cert tomorrow. This is very helpful.
did you pass? how was it?
This video was great!! Thx for making it 🙏🏾
Very helpful video. and this make me ask to you... if i already have a sketch from scan (matterport) 2 levels, but doesn't have the room under the stair... how can add it? cause once you draw everything.. is a pain in the a... to redo it. (well i just learning how to use xactimate)
Hell yeah!!!! Been struggling with this all day feeling like a dummy. Went to the all mighty RUclips as a final resort. 47 seconds later.....problem solved
Glad I could help
Thank you
Bizarro! (but good!) 😊
Can all of these function be done using an apple pen?
Amazing video sir. I do have to correct you on the "1-Dimension" point you made when showing the keyboard shortcuts for sketch view vs 3D view. Looking at the sketch is 2-Dimensional. I appreciate you trying to make it intuitive, however, simply put, the keyboard shortcuts are counterintuitive in this way. Elevation should be a different number or key command, and looking at the normal sketch should be the 2 key. Very confusing, I'm not sure why they programmed it this way.
I wish I could argue with you, but you are absolutely correct. Most people don't know what 2 dimensional is, but clearly know what 3 dimensional is. And you are also correct, I teach it that way because it is easy for people to grasp because they think 1 dimensional is flat (like the plan view). I went with the odds and in 7 years of teaching, you are the only one that has caught that intentional mistake. Good catch - Busted!!! I teach using that intentional mistake because my goal is for as many people to grasp and learn this very big program and if I can make it easier for them to remember short cuts, that's what I do. Perhaps if I explain the conflict it will trigger a memory and make the sudent remember the shortcut easier. Something to think about. Regardless, thanks for the kind words on the videos and the feedback.
From your excellent teaching ability, i assumed you did know the difference. I just felt like commenting on that strange detail in the programming, because yes, it is odd, isn't it? Excellent videos. I have enjoyed watching them as I study for the Level 1 and Level 2 Certification. Would you happen to have any videos in your archive discussing Line Items in greater detail? That appears to be the #1 thing I am struggling with. I think it would add great value especially for the newbies like myself.@@alfredrey5518
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing!

Buen dia saluods, donde puedo continuar el curso de xactimate en español amigo???
www.crestllc.com/store/c2/Online_Self-Paced_Training.html
Excelente introducción buen video
Sooo... It's mostly measurement accuracy and knowing where to find things.
I've worked with completed Xactimate files for invoicing, etc. I had no idea so many options or "toys" were available or how user friendly it seems. (If you know what you're looking for in your estimate)
I like the detail and short cuts.
Great tutorial on this, perfect for alcoves in large rooms. Even accounted for the floor paint. Brilliant!
Where is the next video that shows the next step?
tienes algun numero donde pueda comunicarme con usted ?
does this program cover automotive and Semi Truck Cabin flood/mold claims? We do quite a few for these type of claims. (We got 5 this month) Also does this include ceramic coating re-apllication on the exterior of the vehicle?
No, this program is not designed for automotive damage. There are other programs that address auto like Mitchell, Audatex & CCC
