Now its a party! Thanks for the Loom David, this is this is exactly what the industry is missing, passing formula's from takeoff to estimate. Now that this is a epic clunkily workflow, now its ti...

@nicole, you can make the move handles bigger. Go to settings, top right by the question box and it’s right there. Make the move handle sidebars bigger. wish Stephen would make that the default t...

Oh this would work for your use case, turn that area into an item, then you can do that! Top right hit the block looking thing in the area parent properties and cover it to an item and build your...

What we do is make a "item" that is a **quantifier line, make this item be the outside surface of the insulation as one thought. Why do you need that specific quantity in the takeoff parent?

@Aaron, OMG those decimals would kill me, you should default your workspace to no decimals.

Yeah this would be wonderful!

I know how important this will be in the future. The BIM world (and other 2D/3D tools like Kreo) references these as "instances" If I were building zzTO that's what I would call them. "Instances".....

@Heber, Great Visual I'm thinking about this a little differently from a process piping standpoint. Imagine the parent being a linear and you want each section of pipe for spool length. If its ...

@ Vincent, We also switched from OST.....however when we get CUI jobs (high security) I have to go back and use OST still. Lets just say I have had to increase my therapy sessions when this happens.

Great to hear from folks over-sea's in England. Maybe someday we will get over ourselves and move to the practical metric system.

Kevin, Here is a 3 min video that might help with some of these. Cheers. LINK

Whaoo saw this just now!

@TecTon Estimating Good idea! This tool is crazy flexible...now imagine if you had 200 estimators working in your environment and everyone kept adding custom fields.......yeah thats our problem r...

Love it! Agree with the polyline as the default too. So glad you didn't start with "auto areas" that draw boxes for us, as that is junk if you can't "slice" the area boxes. This is foreshadowing...

Thank you Stephen! Going to be key to make this clean for our people. Right now I think the best-work-around is making a number in the name, but then that gets lame when you transfer it over to th...

Our company went 2 characters and lower case…. Bet you would put in your two weeks notice😂

Wildly different take here don’t lock it down. We have 130 estimators in zzTakeoff right now. Someone figured out custom properties on their own. My reaction? Yes. Finally. That person is now one ...

+1 here too. I see zzTakeoff being the source of truth for things like production, wbs codes and heck even pricing, but hard to commit if there is not a good workspace/enterprise updater that flow...

1. Max out your ORTHO snap and it will get close to what your asking. 2. Yeah hard to show in a picture so here is a 60sec viedo. LINK

I could care less about MEP, Let me FILTER THE MEP drawings!

Have you tried this yet? I don't htink you can make it go into the yellow folders tho, only grey folders.

No joke, I just bookmarked this thread so I can find them. LINK

Oh wow I figured out how to get what I struggled with at the end of that vid...to send to the estimating tool. This feature is awesome!

@ David Fun to kick around ideas. This might spark a thought on how we are planning on doing it. Granted I struggled at the end there with the report in zz, as its hard to show without importing...

@Jeff, I would build another custom report but start with the Takeoff Tree Reports. Kind of a cool thing they made here and I bet it will get better as this is your work-around for now that works g...
