Printing only specific items in a cost estimating document

QUESTION:
I have a Bill of Quantities with roughly 30 items in it...
I neow need to print only a selection of these items. Is there a way of doing that?
Best Regards

ANSWER:
An easy way to do that is to simply highlight the items you want to print in the Measurements Editor and then, in the "General" page, under Print Settings, select the 'Print only Highlighted items' option.

PROCEDURE
1) highlight the items you want to print in the 'Measurements' editor (highlight items by using the 'Shift' + 'Left Click' key combination) on the individual items;
2) go to 'Print Manager';
3) now select the 'Bill of Quantities' node;
4) add a Print Node underneath;
5) open the 'General' page under the print settings area;
6) select 'Print Selected Block only'.
