Section Level Properties Measurements
117d 5h
Hey David, we've discussed this internally, and we are considering adding that ability. The main holdback for us is if you change the wall height per section, what wall height is shown in the repo...
Slice areas and retain arc points
117d 5h
Thanks for reporting, Justin. I think this was done because of the complexity of slicing, and or merging arc points. We'll dig into this to see if we can get a solution.
Hyperlinks copy with takeoffs
117d 5h
Thanks for reporting, David! We'll look into this. 🙂
Resolution Quality
117d 5h
@Isaac is correct. Bluebeam currently re-renders the PDF as you zoom and pan, while zzTakeoff renders the PDF file to an image, so it is super fast to pan/zoom. We have some features we are testi...
"Unit Typical" function / Group takeoffs by area on page for phasing and enlarged unit plans
118d 4h
@Dylan, here is a video that Todd made showing how to set up section properties & report on those properties - Sections and Custom Properties. We also have a Reports Bootcamp video on how to set up...
Area Cut Out Tool - behaving like a drunken sailor
118d 5h
Hey Levi, thanks for reporting, does this happen with a specific project, or specific area that you cut out of, or does it happen all the time?
Is there a reason why cutouts aren't recorded as negative sections?
118d 7h
I guess its all about preference/how you set up your formulas, WBS, and reports. Some users may want the cutouts to show and others don't.
Take off service marketplace
118d 7h
@Dustin, we don't have a dedicated forum/marketplace, but anyone who is a freelance takeoff specialist can reply here with their contact info if you want to reach out to them.
Area Cut-outs
118d 7h
@Tyler, in my example below, are you trying to copy the cutout from the right area and paste it onto the left area? If so, we currently don't have a way of doing that, but it could be pretty power...
Edit Report Values at the Subitem Level
118d 8h
This one is a little tricky. Technically that row is a section/item combination, and the cost each is pulled from the item. If the cost each was stored at the section, it could mean that you want...
Upload Project Plans Direct From Cloud
118d 8h
Hey Ability! Thanks for the feature request! This is a planned feature.
"Unit Typical" function / Group takeoffs by area on page for phasing and enlarged unit plans
118d 8h
Thank you for the detailed post/explanation! We recently introduced section level properties, which should help break the units out per page. We're also looking into takeoff/section/page multipli...
Scale Overlay page prior to aligning
118d 8h
Thank you for the feature request Justin! Definitely see how this would we useful.
Is there a reason why cutouts aren't recorded as negative sections?
118d 8h
@John, for example, if I do a 100x100 square, it shows 10,000 SF. If I cut out a 50x50 square, the total area for the 100x100 square becomes 7,500 SF. If we showed both the area, and the cutout, ...
Array - Objects not holding rotation
118d 8h
Hey Justin! Thanks for reporting, we'll dig into this and get a bug fix out.
Merge Two Jobs
118d 9h
Hey John, we don't have this built in yet, but if the plans exist in both projects, you could open 2 tabs, and copy/paste the takeoffs between. One downside is that for each copy/paste between pro...
Index Order or Layer Order
118d 9h
Hey John, this doesn't exist yet, but we have had various users request it, so it is working it's way up the list. 🙂
Ability to change the border color of an area takeoff
118d 9h
Great idea! We've also discussed adding this option internally.
Ability to create Variables from the "Name"
118d 9h
Thanks for the screenshots @Shawn! I believe the plan is to make it easier to create one-off custom properties on the fly, either per project, or per takeoff (in addition to making it easier to cr...
Is there a reason why cutouts aren't recorded as negative sections?
118d 9h
Hey John, currently they are not displayed as separate sections because the parent section already adjusts its area based on the cutouts. If we added the cutouts, the negative area could be applie...
Drag & Drop Feature
119d 8h
That would be pretty cool! Is this basically a 'Duplicate As' that would get triggered when you drop a takeoff (from the takeoff sidebar) onto a section on the page?
Chat Function
119d 9h
Thanks for the feature request! This would be a very nice addition. This is on our radar now. 🙂 In the meantime, some users have been communicating via note annotations (since they are real-time).
Collapse Function
119d 9h
Hey Jeffery, this is on purpose if you only have 1 row selected, because you can use the caret to expand/collapse. We're open to feedback on whether it should be added only on 1 row selected, though.
Batch Rotating Plans
119d 9h
Hey Thomas! No batch rotation yet, but that is a good idea/feature request!
Converting / Recording
119d 9h
Hey Justin, thanks for reporting. We'll look into this. 🙂
