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...

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....

What two measurements are you using?

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

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.

You should be able to adjust the height and when you reopen the properties window, it should default to what you adjust it to.

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

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 ...

Use two regular points and two arc points. To make an arc point, hit A. Arc points shown as diamonds instead of circles.

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 ...

Click on the point that you want to be an arc point, hit "A".

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

My thoughts were in another post located in this thread:Page sorting within jobs - PLEEEZ help! | zzTakeoff

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...

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.

Are you talking about calculating the length of a rebar stirrup? For example, say we have a 12"x24" footing/beam/column with #4 stirrups and 3" of coverage, you are looking for that 12"x24" cross ...

Agreed, we're already on it and loving it so far but using it for takeoff only until permission control and locking comes out. Once we have that, we'll start implementing estimating out of it and ...

@Kyle,I understand what you are saying and there definitely needs to be portions that the estimator can modify such as variables. Some things they should never modify though such as the formula. ...

@Kyle, i'm talking about the items and assemblies. I need to be able to have formulas built in and have control over what the user can and can't modify.

Do item and assembly updates include the ability to lock them? That's the one piece that's really holding me back from building this out for my estimating team right now.
