Heber Allred zzTakeoffCollecting Input: Area Labels / Segment & Linear Labels
We are planning to add customizable labels for takeoff objects such as areas, linears, and segments. These could be like a customizable note that is linked to the takeoff object. These will improve PDF printouts as well as be used in joist tool, beam tool, etc.
I know some users might want to add formulas in the label that can reference specific properties from the parent takeoff or section.
If there are any specific features you wish were available on labels, feel free to chime in. Any inputs is welcome:
This would be great. I requested something similar in planswift years ago but was denied. I'd like to make that label report any field in that takeoff item. For example, one of my custom properties that hits all items is "Days". My takeoff may be brick veneer and under it may be cavity insulation, wall ties, joint style, etc. and I'd like to roll the calculated days for all those items up into the takeoff area and then be able to display it on the plan. Something similar to this:
What a great idea!
