Add ability to sum like measurements to a 'master' measurement

Below shows a bunch of measurements that ultimately I want to show as a single summed measurement.



I would find it beneficial to be able to select those measurements and sum to a 'master measurement'. Maybe a linked manual quantity where these are it's items?


Also, it would be nice if zzTakeoff implemented sorting logic that sorts from smallest to largest based on the whole number instead of the first number in the string (e.g. 13'-1" > 8'-2" so it should be lower on the list, similarly 1'-10" > 1'-6"). In OST I would just add leading zeros, but I would like to use the 'Text with Tags' feature.

If I’m understanding you correctly, You should be able to get what you‘re asking, as long as you have a part with the same name in each takeoff.


I’ve had a situation where I wanted dimensions in the name so I added a zero cost part to allow me to

get exactly what you’re asking.


I have the same issue with sorting logic. It’s odd when dealing with numbers, so much so that I can’t even figure out what the sorting logic is. It’s not random but more consistently nonsensical if that makes sense .
