Plan Set Info - Pages and Dates

Hey Matthew! Right now, we don't have anything built into the software to export this. What you could do in the meantime is use the "Export Project Data to File" and, using AI, build a script tha...
Roofing takeoff for Fire rated decking
98d 5h
I think Codex may be misinterpreting how zzTakeoff is calculating the sloped area. Right now, the Sloped Area calculated via is Flat AreaΓSlope Factor. We don't take into consideration which direct...
Roofing takeoff for Fire rated decking
98d 6h
Hey Lani! Sorry for the late response on this. I may be misunderstanding this, but are you trying to choose the direction that the area slopes, or is this something else? If this is an area, the d...

Importing PlanSwift job files

Hey Jes, thanks for pointing that out! I'll see if that's something the dev team can tweak π
Formula Synthax
98d 6h
Hey Luis! You should be able to use the traversing logic to achieve this - "[Area:SF] * [./Unit Count/Point Count]". Another useful post to look at is Reference Variables From Other Items.
NEW TOOL REQUEST
98d 23h
Hey Lani, thanks for the feature request! That would be a pretty cool addition. Do you have a short clip of how this works in OST that you could share?
Formulas
99d 0h
We don't have a way to reference those values yet, but we are planning to add a computed column to reports that can compute based on those aggregated values. Note: this number would only appear in...
Custom Property inherited when it shouldn't be
99d 0h
Hey David, this is due to our built-in inheritance from takeoffs down to items. This only happens if the property exists at the takeoff, but not at the item level. Note: applying the custom prope...
Measure Dimension on Mobile
99d 0h
Chrome is our recommended browser, so you're good there. To add points, it's a single tap to add a point. So if you are using a dimension tool, you will tap twice with the dimension tool active, ...
Pages Count - (total)
99d 0h
Hey Steven, no way to do this yet, but it's a great feature request! We could potentially add it as an option in the pages sidebar. I'll mention this to the team π
Can the date format be changed

Hey J. D., no updates on this yet, but it is something we are considering adding.
Using a Part/Material Template - without drag and drop
100d 3h
Hey Matthew, thanks for the feedback. Right now, the "New" and "New Child" can't create an item from a template; you have to either copy/paste the template, drag and drop, or right-click on the te...
Keeping Nesting Structure in CSV Exports
100d 3h
Hey Luis, have you tried our "Takeoff Tree" reports? That should keep the same parent/child relationships.
Auto Name
100d 3h
Hey Ted, are you trying to basically 'sum' or aggregate the direct child values to the parent? For example, if you had 2 child items with a custom property "Division", if one was "01" and the other...

Hey David, thanks for reporting! We're digging into this on our end.

Hey Kyle! We're working hard to get a more granular permission control out soon.
Measure Dimension on Mobile
103d 6h
Hey Dan, what type of mobile device are you using (and which browser)? I just tried this on my iPhone, and it worked for me (as long as the dimension tool was active). One thing to note - we are ...

Enter Quantities Manually

Hey Matthew, does the measurement type "Manual" solve what you are after?
Different Scales on a single page?
103d 6h
Hey Shane, currently no, but some users have requested it. The current workaround is to select the detail section on the page, "Crop As New Page", and scale each new cropped page with the correct ...
Tag Name reference under Item Properties
104d 6h
Hey Ability, currently, no tag name corresponds to the product list or the product. For now, if you want to display the product in the name, you can use "[sku] - [description]". I'll mention this...
