1st real take off issues

Under Review

Yesterday after getting set up for a while I tried a real world takeoff and came across a few issues.


  • Every time I do a takeoff it jumps from templates to takeoffs, I tried as was suggested to undock the templates which stopped it jumping for a bit but then went back to that behaviour, could we have an option for this?
  • Could we have a keyboard shortcut to start the takeoff? I kept missing the start takeoff button once I had clicked on a template as its at the side of the screen and requires moving the mouse over each time, I think the space bar would work well, Once a template has been opened the space bar starts the takeoff but opens the tools shortcut at other times.
  • Segment lines - these snap to what ever they can, Is it possible to have them so they naturally snap to 0, 45, 90 degrees as I found them snapping to different sides of a wall, also coould we have adjustable line width for different templates?
  • Copy takeoffs to new page / folder I have been speaking with Todd about this, I need to be able to copy a take off from a similar House/Floor/Room to another including the qty, this is a huge time saver as I can then just change the bits that are different if there are any.
  • If I select new take off when using a template that has already been used in a takeoff I would like it to be completely separate to the previous one because some of the templates I have built give a different price based on takeoff properties I select, this then gives me 2 rates in the reports (see attached picture) This will not work as a number in excel once exported.
  • Finally in reports I need the folder column to shower the parent folder name at the item level and the option to show job properties in reports (Project name)


Sorry for the long winded post but all these are important to me, hopefully you can help as you have been great so far with my progress.🤗
