Extract Required Divisions or Sections from Spec Book

The 'Split Spec Book' feature allows you to extract specific sections from the spec book and save them as separate documents for easy reference. 

• This is useful for extracting divisions or sections of the spec book into individual PDFs for easy reference.
• The individual files make it easier to navigate and find specific requirements related to specific trades, such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, without wading through irrelevant details.
• The breakdown is also helpful in linking the division to other items like submittals, RFIs, etc. 
• A spec book can be split multiple times, allowing you to extract various sections at different stages as needed.
