For those interested in playing with our latest development version, check out our latest post in Inside Track:https://www.zztakeoff.com/app/community/inside-track/test-the-latest-on-our-dev-server

For anyone who wants to play on our DEV server, we just deployed a bunch of stuff there for testing. It's not completely done, but there's a lot of features there that users can test and play with...

Hi Geoff! We'll reach out to you via email as well. We're pushing hard to get items & assemblies released.

Ah, got it. If it sorted them in the same order as on the left in the pages, maybe that would be better as a default, then we could allow sorting alphabetically as well.

Hi Gillian 🙂 Thanks for the input. We do have some grouping & sorting ability in the upcoming version. So the main thing you want to sort currently is the pages underneath the takeoff, right?

We will be adding the ability to toggle between "Point to Point" and "Box Mode" when drawing areas, linears, etc. It won't be in the upcoming release, but hopefully soon after. 🙂

Sounds good 🙂🚀 We'll be sure to add this.

Thanks for the input Jeff. If we had ability to right click on a takeoff object such as the linear for "Walls", and had an option for "Duplicate As" and ability to create a new takeoff for "Wood B...

Hi Bryan! We don't have this feature yet, but we are planning to add it. Just curious, you mention changing the color of each sheet. How many different overlays are you using at the same time?

Hi Vance. Thanks for the input. We will be sure to add this.

We didn't quite get this on DEV last week, but we're making really good progress. Thanks for all your patience.

Haha. Sure, we'll do a webinar, and a post with a bunch of screenshots and GIFs to illustrate the new features. We're very excited about it. We generally don't like to go this long without an updat...

Good input. We could build a pen tool. It's basically the same as our freehand highlighter with different line width & opacity (freehand highlighter is hidden currently in favor of the box highli...

Hi Snannon! Not yet, but after our next release, we will have formulas on items that you can apply to the takeoffs. Then it will work great for this 🙂

Good input Ben. We will see what we can do. Sometimes it's tough for us to know exactly what the progress level is, due to the fact that we hand the image and text off to an AI, and it responds whe...

Hi Rick! We'll be sure to add this. We're trying to decide whether to add another zoom button next to the current Zoom to Fit (uses up an additional spot in the toolbar), or whether to turn the z...

Hi Brandon! We have an "Extract Schedule" feature that may do what you're after. First you can draw a selection box above the schedule, and then you will see a little popup for "Extract Schedule". ...

Hi Eric. The next release will have F7 auto assigned to "Zoom to Fit". This will at least give us a start, and in the future we'll allow you to customize the hotkeys.

Dates are very hard to predict with software, but things are coming along really well. We are hurrying 🙂 We will get it on our DEV server as soon as possible (hopefully this week) for users to p...

Hi Gillian! Thanks for the input. If we add the ability to deselect a specific page by clicking on it, and then scroll down a bunch, and hold Shift while clicking the other page - if that de-sele...

Good info Jes. I'm guessing the app that exported the data converted this to "vector" points/lines instead of actual text. We will keep this in mind when we get to making the text search.

Perfect! That helps a lot. Thanks Kyle 🙂

That would be great Kyle 🙂 Let's do it!

Good info.@Kyle Just to clarify, if we had the right side grouped by Location, would you want the left to group by Page > Location (with page still as the root level items in the tree)? Any additi...

Haha. Let's do it. We hope to cultivate a fun + productive environment. We will be adding more channels for additional topics as well.
