Can there be a hover function?

+1

Could a tooltip function be added to display properties when hovering over an item?

Something like this?

For example, a "Tooltip" property could show:

"[Icon] Name: [Name],

Area: [Area] [AreaUnits],

Perimeter: [Perimeter] [LinearUnits]

Wall Area: [Wall Area]

Wall Height: [Wall Height]"

It would pull nested values from the takeoff item.

Example display:

"[Icon] Name: Master Bedroom

Area: 112 SF

Perimeter: 44 FT"

This would make reviewing details much faster and more intuitive.

There is a issue with what to have it show.on the ToolTip.

Based on type Area/ Linear/ Segment/ Count

TypeArea:

"Name: [Name]

Area: [Area] SF

Perimeter: [Perimeter] FT

Wall Area: [WallArea] SF

Wall Height: [WallHeight] FT"

TypeLinear:

"Name: [Name]

Length: [Length] FT

Total Length: [TotalLength] FT"

TypeSegment:

"Name: [Name]

Segment Length: [SegmentLength] FT

Total Length: [TotalLength] FT "

TypeCount:

"Name: [Name]

Count: [Count]

Item Description: [Description] "

I like it.

Hi Daniel,

Good news - we're currently testing a hover function that will be included in our next release. In its initial version, you'll be able to hover over items to see their basic measurements (refer image).

We're then planning to expand this feature in the following release by integrating our Formula Engine, which will add more advanced calculations like wall areas and heights.

The attached screenshot shows how our current Hover Function, where measurements are displayed directly on the plan next to the cursor. The new hover functionality will make accessing these measurements even more convenient.

Let me know if you have any other questions about this upcoming feature!

Looks promising!

This is released now.

Thank you, Heber. This looks good.

Really happy this got added

Is it just me or does this implementation block a lot of the blueprint a lot of the time? I'm a little confused as to why I would need to see most of the available data almost all of the time. Can we move this info to a box/panel on the side?

Also, can we have it so that the data is only visible when the takeoff item is selected?

I believe that John may have a good point regarding the always on manner of this. Maybe either only appear a few seconds after the mouse stops moving and rests on an item or maybe a right-click while on the item to see the details would help.

Yes on other software there's a bit of a delay before it pops up.

Either a delay and/or toggle switch to turn it on/off would work, although when they add the ability to show/hide takeoff items that will also help remedy this too

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. It's great to have an active community. We are listening to every message. We have a lot of internal discussions happening around these topics, and working to make the software better based on all the input.

Sam,

I just realized that the toggle for hover hints was never implemented. So if you were continually working (moving) over a large area takeoff, the hover hint will still pop up once the delay time has been reached—even though you had no interest in inspecting the takeoff data.

The way that PlanSwift resolves this is by requiring that your mouse pointer actually stop before starting a delay timer, but I would still prefer to be able to turn off the hover hints as well.

Hi John, we'll go ahead and implement these 2 fixes:

1. Ability to turn hover hint off completely

2. If the mouse moves make it reset the timer for when to show the hover hint.

They should be pretty easy for us to add, so you can expect them in our next release.
