Minor Update: Triangulate Tool, Pitch Tool, QR Code Tool, Option for OST Zoom / Scroll Settings, Search Improvements, etc.
84d 13h
The Smarter Sorting in Reports & Sidebars update is an awesome QoL update! Can this be expanded a little bit to also include fractions? Reference:
Copy/Pasting in Templates
84d 15h
Seems to be working as intended. Thanks for checking!
Steel Takeoff
90d 11h
I just completed a QTO of a 1,500+ ton project. It's a bit of mess, but I ended up doing this: This is just a few screenshots of the takeoffs I created and not all of them. I don't think this is...
Reverse Detail Lookup
97d 15h
I imagine this will be coming when we zzTO releases an auto-count feature. Probably draw a selection box around the detail callout and have an option for search as image?
How are other users breaking down their QTO since zzTO doesn't have OST's 'Areas' function?
98d 10h
@Stephen this might work for a small job, but I can't imagine doing this for a drawing set that is 300+ pages where a client is requesting the project be broken down into 10+ scope buckets, alterna...
Gray Folder at Project Level Not Working with Custom Properties
99d 10h
@Stephen, this is in relation to project organization in the file explorer, not the reports tab. When I hit 'Open Project' in the top left, I want my projects to be organized by the custom property...
Is there a way to assign Zoom to Fit to a mouse click command?
100d 10h
I have the exact same mouse, and I've ran into the same thought that it would be nice if I could make use of the side scroller with zzTO.
Is there a way to assign Zoom to Fit to a mouse click command?
100d 12h
Another useful tip I'll absorb!
Is there a way to assign Zoom to Fit to a mouse click command?
100d 13h
@Heber, it might also be nice to have a 'Zoom to Window' in the context menu after drawing a selection box. Basically, like using F10 without having to search for the hotkey.
Hyperlink Improvements
103d 12h
I think it would also be nice to be have the possibility of having a transparent shape, like the count's circle, that we can put over a detail callout without a label. Maybe make it so when you hov...
New Update: Hyperlinks, Imperial + Metric Scales, Gray Folders in Pages & Project, Auto Box Mode for Linear, etc.
104d 10h
I love the hyperlink update. Can we have a setting that would allow users to open the hyperlink in a new tab or window?
Selections deselect when holding shift and clicking a blank spot
105d 11h
I've also noticed that when you shift click a single takeoff it does not deselect it, but if you 'green' lasso it, it will deselect it.
Cutout Duplications
106d 11h
Create a new area-type takeoff with the output being 'Section Count'. Right click the cut-outs and 'Convert To...' to the new area takeoff.
'Cut' Functionality?
106d 15h
I am not able to cut/paste. I would like to be able to cut a takeoff from one page/layer and paste it to another. The workaround I do now is copy/paste and then go back and delete. Maybe you're on...
Minor Update: Auto Box Mode for Areas, Width:In, Gray Folders & Views in Quick Search
112d 8h
@James I'm not seeing this on my end. I can only convert area-type takeoffs to area-type takeoffs.
Minor Update: Auto Box Mode for Areas, Width:In, Gray Folders & Views in Quick Search
112d 8h
Tyler, there's a workaround for that. You can create an area measurement and then right click it and 'Duplicate As...' your desired linear takeoff.
Can you sort reports based on multiple columns?
112d 15h
Lorin, Thanks for the 'hold shift' tip. I didn't know that was a possibility. I'm still getting unexpected sorting. Notice below how the sub-division is sorted odd. When I use just the sub-divisi...
Minor Update: Auto Box Mode for Areas, Width:In, Gray Folders & Views in Quick Search
114d 11h
The [Width:In] is awesome! Can you update the sorting logic so that 12" > 8" in the takeoff pane?
Convert to option in the takeoff selection pane
119d 14h
I see this was added. Thank you! When I use the arrow keys and then hit enter it doesn't select the highlighted takeoff, instead it just selects the takeoff at the top of the list.
Is there a way to have one custom property's input automatically update another custom property?
120d 11h
Thanks Heber!
Search Always Visible - Default for ALL
120d 15h
I think it makes sense to have search visible by default. They don't take up much screen real estate, and it’s not exactly obvious they're available unless you've dug through a bunch of videos and ...
Convert to option in the takeoff selection pane
121d 8h
I agree, zzTakeoff is knocking it out of the park with these features. This one in particular, even. I just think they could be tweaked to make them even better. I have a minor annoyance of having ...
Convert to option in the takeoff selection pane
121d 8h
I agree at some point we'll have to accept that zzTakeoff handles things different than OST, but this one feels like it would be quicker because it's slightly less clicks and less fishing through a...
Hensel Phelps Top 7 Feature Requests, Ranked by Order of Priority.
124d 13h
I'll throw in a third for Areas. I used that feature on just about every project in OST.
Add ability to sum like measurements to a 'master' measurement
126d 9h
I've had the same thought, but ultimately I simply don't want to do that. It feels like double work and a slow down to workflow. Plus, it would be annoying to teach to other estimators that ultimat...
