Multiply Takeoff for Typical Areas

Planned

I am wondering if there is a way to easily multiply takeoffs if we have a typical room (ie classrooms, apartments).

Hi Tim! We don't have a way to do this yet, but we are planning to create 2 ways to do this:


1. Multipliers (where you could manually enter a quantity to multiply).

2. Takeoff Stamps. We want to make a way you can group all the takeoffs you've done for a classroom, hotel room, apartment, etc. and stamp it many times (with 1 original that if you modify it modifies all of them). Like the others may be slightly faded or "disabled" in some way and just operate as a group. In this scenario, you would be able to set an orientation / angle for each stamp (90, 180, 270 degrees).


Anyone feel free to chime in if you have suggestions in this area, since we want to make sure we do it right and solve the need properly.

I agree with the need to allow for "multipliers" For example if I have only 1 page that represents floors 14-20, I want to put a 7x mutipler on everythign on that page.


As far as "typical rooms" like Classrooms, Apartments and Hotel rooms I think this is a low priority to have this ability in a takeoff tool, as that can be done in Excel or a estimating tool. Here is a 3min video that outline how this could work with a setup of Ediphi & zzTO.
