I've been on OST for 10 years, now a zzTakeoff convert. You know the space bar in OST, epic right. Well now you have to use the "N" key for that. This feels in the same vein, the convert to in zz w...

You can do as child items, but that imposes its own set of challenges that's not worth the reward.

SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls

@Kory I am fully aligned on locking the templates down completely. Only super users should be able to modify the actual template. But once that template is dropped into a project or takeoff, let th...

Add ability to sum like measurements to a 'master' measurement

Well said. Keeping it simple is what made OST great. We also do self perform and it’s wonderful we can setup multiple templates. One with items/parts and one with just parent takeoff items like OS...

@Victor thx for the picture and another way to do it! Question, I’ve been debating if we should setup our template to where every takeoff item (parent) has a child line item. I feel like you cou...
