Auto-Detect Scale with AI & Manual Scale All Functions
145d 4h
Can I sign a release form for Hensel Phelps and can you pretty please turn the auto-scale feature back on! I get it you can do it still with a few fumbles tho, but why make us fumble thru it.
Check Box to "Include" visible on the right pane

@Shawn, Can you share a screenshot of that formula you used in the name? Love when you have box un-checked it said "No Restraint" That is so cool!

Shawn, Way to many clicks to do what you show :p. It needs to be here where the estimator needs it! one click!

Yeah exactly like that, we have it setup similar. Ideally you don't have to open up the "Properties window" is my ask tho. That is cool how you make it say "no restraint" and now I'm going to add ...
Takeoff Multiplier
145d 9h
@Jeff, Thats the problem we have over here......things are simple to setup as a individual, but training and making it repeatable is the hard part. zzTakeoff is now "excel" for takeoff.......anyo...
What is Ediphi?
146d 4h
HA thx Todd, guess I'm the local ediphi nerd too. In a sentence zzTakeoff is the final quantities, Ediphi is the initial quantities and the final estimate for GC's. Depends what you are trying ...
Summary's
146d 4h
@Lorin, You really need to look into doing a excel-add in thru the Microsoft store like how Ediphi does it. Refreshable reports from zzTO in excel is the way.
Ready to Test: Joist Tool, Beam Tool, Grid Tool, Section Level Properties (Zones, WBS), Labels, Slice, Lasso, etc.
146d 23h
I'm now dangerous with the pending update. The Section breakouts are getting close. The MVP thats missing is need to see it visually! Here is a 3min vid overview on how this works in zzTO and also ...
Box Resizing
147d 2h
You have to adjust the points after the fact. However you can do this as a idea that might help. 30 second vid. LINK
Buggy Copy/Paste for Multiple items.
147d 2h
Right click and hide all annotations to not select the hyperlinks. I hope hyperlinks become more "hidden" in the future to your point. If you hold ALT, then click/drag you can move anything fr...

@Luke, I need to figure out how you did that! Slick you got it to work after you did your takeoff, that is exactly what we are after, I played a little last night on TEST and need to dabble more.
SKU is so Long.... Can we suppress it...pretty much everywhere!
147d 5h
Love to have the ability to group in that above screenshot view like we can in lists too! How about "match list grouping" toggle, kind of like how we have "match takeoff side bar" on the left page ...
Takeoff Multiplier
147d 6h
Check this out! Slick roll up.
Takeoff Multiplier
147d 7h
Darlene, You checked out Ediphi? Its made for that, as I'm using it now for a hotel. Would also use this multiplier for when I get situations like this that I'm in now.
Ready to Test: Joist Tool, Beam Tool, Grid Tool, Section Level Properties (Zones, WBS), Labels, Slice, Lasso, etc.

Wow this is cool! I had a question, how do I auto-update the name formula, then I saw the bottom left option, slick.
Migrating takeoff to new layer
151d 2h
@Lorin, Awesome on the copy takeoffs to new layer, was just showing the painfull workaround today where you have to do each page.....it was not fun.
Folder Selection During Project Creation
151d 2h
Yellow folders are not the best work-flow and we will be shutting them off for the projects. Here is our workflow in a 2 min vid. Hope this helps LINK
Grid Tool, Joist Tool, and Beam Tool

GC Starter Pack

Ping zsupport and they will probably need a email from me saying yes.
GC Starter Pack
151d 5h
Jeff here is what ours looks like, happy to share it if zzTO can send it. Its a work in progress and getting better every week tho.
Default Scale?
152d 7h
Jeff, Are you using the auto-scale feature? Highlight the entire sheet (sometimes you have to hold shift or control if there are hyperlinks on the page) Then click scale ALL. Magic! @zzTakeo...
One Project to Many Takeoffs - Any Ideas?
152d 21h
SD/DD/CD sets are so drastically different coming from a GC...... I feel like what I've seen here mostly deal with addendums and minor changes from all you detail trade partner nerds that only see ...
Points all of a sudden have Lag when clicking
153d 10h
@Heber, IDK its never done this before and I feel like you deployed something in the last week or two that made it slow down a bit.
Custom Properties on its Own Page
153d 11h
Please keep it hidden! The more people that know about that the more problems I have with our 200 estimators in one workspace. Really need this:1) Enterprise Custom Properties (Locked down, only ad...
