Having serious issues / multiple issues with the new product update
104d 5h
Looks like Heber beat me to it. It's not a bug. It's the new workflow which for our use case is a great workflow. The issue with versioning when you don't want plans to version just got fixed in th...
Sheets Merging
105d 2h
You have to flip through all pages on the new plan import and verify that Old Page = None. Sounds like this work around won't be needed very long at all though thanks to the zz team rapidly improv...
Sheets Merging
105d 8h
I've requested an option to bypass versioning for this scenario. For now, the work around I use is to flip through the pages on this "Review Pages" screen and make sure the Old Page field is set on...
Material with labor together
121d 5h
Out of the box, it would need to be different takeoffs. If you use custom properties like I'm thinking of using, brick will be an each count and labor will be converted to hours/days using a produ...
Material with labor together
124d 0h
Custom properties. I'm debating going this route to match our current spreadsheet and I'm needing to create several other custom properties anyway to price the way we price work, so it makes sense...
SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
124d 8h
Our folks have to earn super user status. Start at jr and learn our ways, then get estimator level unlocked and learn those pieces they can change, then sr estimator unlocked and they graduate to ...
SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
124d 9h
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
127d 0h
@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
127d 2h
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 ...
Ready to Test: December 2025 Release with a Ton of New Features
127d 8h
It's alive!
Formula in Name Property
127d 22h
It will be in the update.
SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
128d 2h
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
145d 4h
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
145d 4h
What two measurements are you using?
Lower Decimal placement when in forumla mode for takeoffs items
152d 9h
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
153d 1h
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
154d 7h
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
156d 6h
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
160d 9h
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
160d 9h
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
162d 1h
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
162d 8h
Click on the point that you want to be an arc point, hit "A".
Hotkeys for toggling
175d 7h
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
176d 2h
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
182d 6h
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...
