Minor Release: Big Green Dot, True Highlighter, Plan Review Any Time, and Bug Fixes

We just released a minor update.

  • Big Green Dot: the start-takeoff dot now has its own spot in the sidebars
  • True Highlighter: the highlighter now highlights instead of being an opaque overlay.
  • Plan Review is now available any time from the Pages sidebar menu, not just when uploading a revision set
  • New setting to always show Plan Review after uploading pages
  • Offset tool: new "Resize Original" option that moves the shape's outline in place instead of creating a new section. Shrinking an area trims any cutouts left outside the new outline
  • Duplicate Page: new option to include the page's takeoff sections and annotations
  • Natural number sorting in Choose Takeoff, Choose Template, and Open Project ("Item 2" before "Item 10"), and items now sort by cost type before name
  • Various bug fixes involving lasso, Auto-count, PDF rendering, and Dark Mode, etc.
  • Speed improvements


Big Green Dot

The green dot you click to start a takeoff now sits in its own column, just left of the expand/collapse caret, in the Pages, Takeoffs and Templates sidebars and in the worksheet. Click the dot to start, double-click the icon to expand or collapse the row. Folders in the worksheet get the dot too.


If you prefer the old look, turn on "Condensed Green Dot" in Settings > Takeoffs, or from the sidebar menu:



True Highlighter
