Does the Search / Create Count Takeoffs feature have the ability to create those new count takeoffs as rectangles with dimensions, or it can only generate the default count circles?

I made a similar request last year. When you have a ton of takeoffs on a page, it's cumbersome to have to expand the page and scroll all the way to the bottom of it to turn on/off the overlay I'm f...

Correct, it still requires you to manually set up the overlay

Just wanted to share this functionality as well in case you guys weren't aware of it, which is accessed by right clicking on any page and going to Properties: I have to use this when the zz module...

Are you guys talking about this? You can already overlay an old set to the new revision by clicking the revision button on the left, selecting the old plan, holding the SHIFT key and dragging it ov...

Since this feature is still a work in progress, I wanted to point out that sometimes plans are sent out that only have a text layer in the title block area, while the rest of the page (the part you...

I 100% agree with Kyle. Or at least, add something separate for deciding what elements come up on reports when sharing a project with outside users (this might be a totally separate topic)

Also want to make sure it also cannot be modified via the reports page

I like the "AI big brother watching" feature he demonstrated where it tries to mimic what the estimator is doing. That is something I would love to see here in zz one day. I'm sure you'd have to co...

Impressive. But I would love to see how well it works on the nightmare drawings I get each week

@Stephen If there isn't an eta yet on when the Extract Schedule feature will be revamped, what about adding more columns to the Batch Insert Takeoff tool in the meantime so that we can plug in the ...

Sections in my mind always makes me think of section details on drawings, not takeoffs. But I know PlanSwift always referred to individual pieces of takeoff objects as sections so I got used to that

I was thinking it would be more like an end of year clean up type deal

What does the platform do with the PDFs after the PNGs are generated? Does the AI still use the original PDFs to do its OCR and things on the backend? Or it works off of PNGs too? Also, would incre...

Bumping this. It's still very tedious to select multiple takeoffs at times for copying or modifying when you have a lot of them on the page, requiring a lot of extra steps and hiding. The platform ...

😂 We're confused then on what specifically you're talking about...but regardless, we can all agree the extract schedule tool needs upgrading

Are you looking for a way to have the tool create these straight off the specific columns you select from the schedule, and/or map them to your existing ones (even your templates), similar to the D...

I believe he wants to generate a bunch of items straight off the extract schedule tool using data from certain columns (which he chooses) shown on that schedule. It's more advanced than what I'm lo...

@Victor That seemed to work by dragging a box around the entire page instead of only the scale portion of the page. I guess that makes the AI look everywhere for the page scale instead of only in ...

Jeff's talking about this button from reports, which I also like I agree that it would make more sense for this button to open up the plan page on a separate window, rather than pulling you out of...

Yes you can. Right click on the area takeoff and select the Duplicate As command and pick linear (either new linear takeoff or an existing one you previously created), and it will do exactly what y...

I would, but zz needs to add more restrictions on what users viewing from shared link can and can't see. But that's a separate topic really

Yeah I noticed when trying to print directly to printer when PM wanted to see some area takeoff I did, I was having a heck of a time getting the print preview to match what my screen was showing

I didn't know that zz converts the pages into PNG/TIFF files similar to what PS used to do. I thought it working directly off PDFs this whole time. Interesting.

That's pretty cool. So you changed those fields to use formulas, and then you have a formula setup in there to pull those dimensions from the imported product list you manually created. Not a terri...
