SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
78d 20h
My thoughts on locking are relatively simple and look something like this image below. I don't want my end users changing calculations, so I want to minimize and lock that. I may even put the cal...
Ready to Test: December 2025 Release with a Ton of New Features
81d 12h
@Patrick I didn't think about it until I saw your post but there is a work around to undock this now. Open the same job in two browser windows with the takeoff tab open in one and the report tab i...
Ready to Test: December 2025 Release with a Ton of New Features
81d 14h
I like having the choice. We are in the brick industry where brick are typically quoted something like $455/1000 which we price in our templates as $0.455. I'd like to have 3 decimals for brick ...

It's alive!
Formula in Name Property
82d 10h
It will be in the update.
SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
82d 14h
100% Once the new update rolls out, we'll start building out our phase 2, taking our zz usage from takeoff only to an estimating platform but that will not be fully rolled out to our team until p...
Using two measurements in one formula
99d 15h
For that, I'm assuming you would have a couple different takeoffs like area of 12:12 roof and area of 8:12 roof. Each one would have the same takeoff items like sheathing, tar paper, and shingles....
Using two measurements in one formula
99d 15h
What two measurements are you using?
Lower Decimal placement when in forumla mode for takeoffs items
106d 21h
I believe this is mentioned in Todd's latest sneak peak video of upcoming changes about 24 min in: Sneak Peek Video for the New Features Updates that are coming soon! | zzTakeoff
Overlay Alignment options
107d 13h
I agree on the sheet leveling or tilting. We overlay landscape architect's drawings over site plans regularly and they are typically not in the same orientation.
Item Template Properties Window Size
108d 18h
You should be able to adjust the height and when you reopen the properties window, it should default to what you adjust it to.
Collecting Input: Plan Sets / Versioning
110d 17h
I like version but revision is fine too. Starting at zero works. This looks great! I prefer using 0,1, 2, 3 etc for the increments
Template Protection
114d 21h
Permissions for this type of thing have been requested. For now, I duplicate all my templates so that I have backups just in case someone changes something I don't want changed. I also reiterate ...
Round Area
114d 21h
Use two regular points and two arc points. To make an arc point, hit A. Arc points shown as diamonds instead of circles.
Set default sizes for text and takeoff lines
116d 13h
When I start using notes, I typically do one, adjust everything to my liking, then copy and paste that one to every other spot that I want to add notes just so it's all consistent and I don't have ...
create existing takeoff point to arc
116d 20h
Click on the point that you want to be an arc point, hit "A".
Hotkeys for toggling
129d 18h
Same, I don't have any preferences other than what they are. Being able to customize them would be great though and allow each user to adjust to fit their workflow best.
Hotkeys for toggling
130d 13h
Sunday, I figured out that if you are holding shift down, you can snap to other takeoff points (green square snap) even when snap is set to off.
Minor Update: Vertical Linear, Sneak Preview for Box Mode
136d 18h
You can actually already do that. Highlight the area you want to adjust, box the two points you want to move turning them orange, then push left/right/up/down/45* to move those to points together y...
Rotate Counts with custom degrees
142d 13h
You can rotate in 1 degree increments using Shift/Alt/O. Once rotated the correct amount, you can copy and paste the takeoff with that same rotation. In your scenario with multiple size point loa...
Control over input measurements
142d 18h
Click your starting point Use number pad to tell it which direction you want the line/dimension to go (works in 45 degree increments)2=down1=down/left4=left7=up/left8=up9=up/right6=right3=down righ...
Collecting Input: Plan Sets & Plan Versioning
143d 11h
The more I think about this topic, the more I think simplicity is best, at least for us. The thing that makes our workspace most difficult is clutter. The best way to declutter this left-hand side ...
Collecting Input: Plan Sets & Plan Versioning
144d 11h
My thoughts were in another post located in this thread:Page sorting within jobs - PLEEEZ help! | zzTakeoff
Batch Rotate Pages
149d 21h
To add onto this page rotation request, it would be nice to be able to rotate them in 1, 15, 45, and 90 degree increments. We overlay landscape and topo plans on house plans regularly and a lot of...
Viewer ability to hide & show
152d 18h
One of our biggest issues as a company has been office/field collaboration. If we can leverage this tool to bridge that gap, it's a game changer in yet another way.
