You can right click on any page on the left, and select "Preview Window". That will accomplish the same thing, and I use it all the time.

I think I figured it out, I had to make it apply to Items as well so it can be accessed.

What am I doing wrong here? I have the custom proterty computed based on Rebar #. I believe the ternary operator is supposed to return the value based on the Rebar # Input. But the value is bein...

This won't work exactly like you want it to, but you could create a custom variable that is called "Total Wall Area" or something. Hide it by default. Then turn it on for these takeoffs. It shou...

Maybe I will make a new post, but I keep thinking what would be awesome is if the sum function could work on all children based on tags. For example, if it could iterate through all child, and gr...

Seems like this should be accomplished through an item with a formula to do this. If you post a screen shot I would be willing to help you write the formula.

Can the filter do two types at once? like {type: 'linear' or 'point'} ?

ok yes! thank you, that works perfectly.

The grid tool can only do vertical lines if you just leave the horizontal spacing blank. Then when you align the grid just pick the start and end of one of those lines. You'll draw an area first, ...

Ok, yeah that worked for the 'linear'. I tried the same for the 'volume' and 'wall area' but those are returning zeros instead of 29.88 and 806.81

Is there any way to break the circular error? Either an item that doesn't inherit or an "other" type item that doesn't auto inherit?

Ok yeah both of these work. In my case, I think I won't be using it for fractions of an inch. so I can make the formula variable = [Horizontal Line Spacing] *12 . This will keep it as an inch nu...

out of curiousity, what does the %1 operator do? I understand the ceil function, but I have not seen the % before.

Maybe the report could just show " *varies* " for values that aren't resolvable.

Perhaps you can just give an "alt name" to the "formula (qty)" value from any item, and then anything given that alt name has the value added to it

I have been thinking about the same kind of concept. Variable "buckets" that can be referenced and summed outside of the hierarchy. Use the hierarchy to determine a a qty. But then the ability t...
