Hi team,
When I multi-select several takeoffs or items in the Takeoffs sidebar, zzTakeoff doesn't show a combined total of their quantities. I have to go to Reports or add up the figures manually.
Example: I have architrave items under three separate door count takeoffs (different door sizes). Selecting all three Architrave items should show the total linear metres, but there's no aggregate.
Request:
- When multiple takeoffs/items are selected, show a summary (in the sidebar footer or Properties panel) with the combined quantity per unit (e.g. 111.42 m, 10 EA, 45.6 m²).
- Where the selected rows have mixed units, show a subtotal for each unit rather than a single figure.
- Ideally include total cost where cost each is set.
Why: this is a quick check we do constantly during takeoff and pricing (e.g. total architrave, skirting or joists across multiple assemblies). At the moment it means switching to Reports or setting up roll-up formulas just to see a sum.
PlanSwift and Excel both give an instant sum on selection, so this would make zzTakeoff much quicker for day-to-day checking.
Thanks,

Hi Haydon/Ethan, great feature request! Until the team does this you have an option to undock your reports to another tab, you can also use the pop up carrot in the takeoff window to show and hid your reports if that helps. Meanwhile I know the dev team will look at this and put this on the list of upcoming features.
