You could do it this way. For the number of items I have in that template, it went quite quick.

It has been asked about a few times. Search by Symbol | zzTakeoff

Something like this?

ahhhh

If you have the list in say excel, you can copy the whole list and paste it into the custom property list. In custom properties, add more blank rows to account for the line items you wish to paste ...

ohhh, lol. That is simpler Learned something new. Thank you Lorin.

This means:[horizontal line spacing] % 1 → Take the fractional part of the value (modulo 1).Example: 5.75 % 1 = 0.75Multiply by 12 → Scale the fractional part.Example: 0.75 * 12 = 9ceil(...) → Roun...

and FT would be floor([horizontal line spacing]) same for vertical FT

Short answer is yes, doable. you'll need to make some custom properties and add them to your current tool. the code you are looking for would be ceil(([horizontal line spacing]%1)*12) & ceil(([ve...

CoPilot is an incredible tool @kyle!

Interesting that you bring this up, I've been doing a lot of coding with AI and came up with my own software for importing plans to google earth: I'm currently working on a way to bring the whole t...

you can copy & paste the whole area W / Cutouts, and it will still have the cutouts when pasted. You can't copy a cutout to another area takeoff.

You can turn on the "Cutout Area" Column in the report view to see the total cutout, I believe I do understand what you're looking for though. You want the cutout areas to be like "child" items are...

This is what i'm talking about. I created a Custom property to do it but, to make them on the fly would be nice. I shouldn't have posted the one with the QTY lol.

try these options.

you could search all pages and make them all counts in one search; then manually count the ones it missed or delete the ones that it pulls from the BOM. But yes, I get what you are asking for.

So, you are counting the same lighting fixtures just on a different page? same project?

what search are you using?? JW.

Option 1. If you did add a green dot, could you make it an option that can be turned off? I like the item itself showing the button on hover.

@kevin, Where you go? Does the above work for you???

Parent/Child like this? What numbers are you trying to get and where are you trying to put them???On a report?

yeah, I do use that workaround. Just figured the drag option would be less clicks. Thank you!
