I got tired of waiting for this 😅 so Claude built a temporary solution for me using Chrome and I binded the hotkey to the Q key. Create a new bookmark in Chrome, name it Overlay Hotkey or somethin...

@Kyle Sometimes in my AI chat sessions when I start a new chat/task, I end up with a moron that tells me with great confidence it can't do this or that in zz and is completely wrong. Reminds me of ...

Hey Kyle I know this is off topic, but remember that fly-by-night AI system you shared a post about on here back in the spring that kind of blew our minds?Well call me crazy, but I have a feeling w...

Nothing Claude couldn't stitch together in 10 min 😂

Bruce just curious, do those plans you had it takeoff have a text layer? Claude won't touch the set I'm currently working on since the only searchable text is in the title block

Looks like they do actually have a usage meter that you can view inside the settings menu or even watch while you've given it some tasks to perform.

Change test.zztakeoff.com/mcp to www.zztakeoff.com/mcpI would also turn on the permissions for scripting commands & Run a zzTakeoff script because you are going to have it doing a lot of that

Yeah I unexpectedly got dragged into a meeting the other week on a project and didn't have my laptop on me, so I had to resort to pulling up zz on my phone, and I wasn't able to see the takeoff pan...

When I tilt my phone into landscape mode I can click on the layers button and change it. If it still doesn't pop up on yours when you rotate your phone, try temporarily switching Safari to desktop ...

@Justin Due to all the inaccuracies and omissions I've seen these things make the last couple years, I just don't trust them enough yet to not have it perform some sort of self verification step. @...

@Justin Same, also on Pro. Opus 5 with High. Each time it finishes putting in the takeoffs for a floor, it performs a self quality check. Maybe that's what's killing it?

I know it's funny, but it's so frustrating. Below is a shot of Claude being 75% done with the task I asked it to perform (creating takeoffs from a large schedule & marking them), and now I have to ...

I use layers when there are multiple structures in the same project, as well as for revisions

Just realized once you pop in your ❗emoji exclamation marks into the sheet # of the pages you want to review, you can then search for that emoji and they all come up

I wonder if the new set of plans has a minor text layer on the title block and nowhere else. Currently having the same issue on the set I'm working on

I can't unfortunately. We have a meeting with a supplier tomorrow around that time and I was going to sneak the podcast onto my screen and listen through my headphones during the meeting 😂

I finally tested out MCP today, and I was impressed!Claude was able to do what I've always wanted the Extract Schedule tool to do....build a list of count takeoff objects with dimensions already pu...

@Lorin no it was just my prior experience directly with the LLMs through their interfaces. @Shawn I don't remember which project that was off the top of my head, but here is an even easier one with...

None of them (Gemini, Claude, GPT) were able to take the column schedule shown below and provide a correct list of column dimensions & heights for each floor (I provided the floor elevations to the...

Does this enhancement mean that soon I'll be able to have AI extract these 100 line item schedules for me and totally build out the count/linear takeoff objects so that their dimensions and everyth...

Yes a user-controlled event log on one of the panels for notes, maybe a to-do list, etc is something I really want to see. Currently I just create folders on the takeoff panel and write notes on th...

Yeah the hide/show functionality is tedious at times depending on how complex your plans are. I would love a hotkey toggle for hide/show

Very nice! You've knocked out some ancient feature requests with this one (locking projects/pages, user permissions, paste as new) plus image search (auto count) is now here. Excellent
