Copy Takeoff Function

Completed

It would be really helpful if we could get a copy in the takeoff side which would copy not only the takeoff, but also the quantities. This would be especially helpful for residential as many elevations are 80% the same except for the front elevation. That could save a lot of time.

If we add the ability to right click on the takeoff in the sidebar and "Duplicate As" does that solve what you're after (assuming that it would duplicate all takeoff sections with it)? If so, that's finished in local development and will come out in the next release.

Yes that would do exactly what we need!

Game changer! Avoids so much redundant work. Thank you.

This feature is now released 🙂

Hi team, I would like this feature to work with multiple takeoff items at a time instead of one by one. The duplicate feature is available in the context menu when multiple takeoffs are selected, but does not execute the duplication as it does when a single takeoff is selected

Also, I think this should be able to execute with a target as a folder rather than singular selection of a takeoff. Current workflow is:

1) Copy (multiple) takeoffs to new folder

2) Duplicate (one by one) takeoffs to each takeoff in the new folder


Desired workflow


1) Duplicate all takeoffs in one folder, or multi-selected takeoffs, to a new selected folder

@ Keith,


I went thru this workflow with the zzTO team to add this ability, as it works epic in Ediphi. Would what I show in this 80second video make you happy? LINK
