This is where I use custom properties. I don't use cost each, markup, price each or anything built in. I have custom properties setup for material cost, rental cost, subcontractor cost, productio...

I kind of like it.

If you hide all using the eye on the folder and then try to unhide on the page, it doesn't work. If you have everything showing on the page, right click, and use "Hide All", you can then go to the ...

I like it.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

@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...

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!

It will be in the update.

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 ...
