Calculation list

Under Review

Is there currently anywhere to store calculations for my takeoffs? Like a list of Calculations I can pick from that I use for my estimating. I know you can do that with Items, but I am thinking if I am measuring a new wall and I want to be consistent with a LF * 1.15 for my studs for example. I know I could have an Excel sheet ready with them I am just thinking there should be somewhere in the software I can get it quickly. That way my team could see it as well and we could be consistent across the team.

Hi Bryan, Can I send over a zoom invite through the chat?

Hi everyone that is interested in Custom Formulas drop-down list in our Products and Items, here is a great video in our YouTube channel for Advanced users, to get you started! https://youtu.be/uzDujQ-THYo

I am watching the youtube video now. If I have questions, I will let you know.

Hi Todd,

Awesome Video Tutorial, thank you so much.

I have a question bellow the attachment:


Is there a way to also edit inside the "Name" the word contents e.g. (500R-Bar Size ⌀) after the "<--- Edit Custom Property" it is saved?

Regards Steve G.

Hi Steve, great question, I wish there was, but if you want to change the name or type you need to start a new one. I ran into this a few times myself, and if you do delete and start over you have to re-enter any information (values and codes).I would imagine that is a very strict property value and not editable because once you create it, it get's built into parts and reports, and could change any formulas or variables.

Thank you, Todd,

I realize that I need to start a new one. I done it few times before I asked, but didn't wanted to tell you, 😂

Take care an keep up the good work you doing, cheers!

Made my day... I thought I was the only one...

Cheers!
