Hi mate, I'd love to help with a calculation / formula for you but I'm not using ZZ Yet. I'm waiting for the ZZ powers to be to complete the import programming so I can import all my Planswift asse...

You should be able to calculate this in your quantity formula using your roof sloping calculator. Set up a variable with the roof slope etc. So 500mm = the black & white measure of 20" Lets say you...

Hey Shaun,Do you have a wireless mouse? I found that anything drawing / drafting / take-off came to life when I changed back to a corded USB style mouse.

Hi Jeff, You will find many people doing the same as Doug (and me). We all work for builders or construction companies that have purchased their own software. Upon purchasing this software, they we...

I would use the same formula as I do for roofing sheets. Multiply the M2 area by the fall (pitch) and then multiply by the thickness of the slab.

I haven't started with ZZ yet but I'm guessing it would be used similar to material cost centres / building stages etc. In PS, I had a use for Cost Code doing exactly that. By the time the estimate...

Hhmmm Input........

I rename all my sheets "Page Number - Page Description". Eg, A10.01 - Elevation A so it shows up on the Page Name. Having said that, I'm not sure on the AI system to be able to do this. I do it Man...

I'd suggest adding "Cost Centres" to your individual items. I use a combination of three. Cost Centre Number (640 Brick Cladding, 650 Brick Laying, 680 Brick Hardware), Division and a sub Division....

Hi Stephen,I used to use "Point Count" for calculating corner studs in PS. Is this also a feature of ZZ?eg - RoundUp(([Linear Total]/0.45)+([Point Count]*[Corner Studs])). [Corner Studs] being a f...

Hiya, Mark from Australia here.I'd love to addend these Webinars but unfortunately they fall at 2.00am for me. Are they recorded so I can view them at a more forgivable time? Thanks.

Hi ZZ's, Has there been any progress on this request? I'd love to make a start with ZZ but I don't really want to tap all my assemblies in again. Cheers.
