ohhh that is great! Thank you!

I haven't played around with the Alt Name yet. What is the normal use case for this feature?

Ohhh I tried putting quates around the name =="item 2" and that didnt work. I didnt think about putting them around the variable. Neat!

Doesn't look like I can get it to compare the sub item name in the IF function. What text property are you looking to copy and what are you trying to do with it?

seems like you can reference the name property with [Sub Item Name/name]. Similar to referencing any sub item property [sub item name/qty] for example. I am trying to get it to work in a formula ...

Great feature updates! Comments:I clicked "Show Label" but then there is no subsequent "Hide Label" command to turn them back off. I clicked show label on an area with a grid, and the labels are...

yes that's true. I have had some trouble getting the filter to hide things when I don't want to see them, I was told it has to do with the associated items in the tree aren't being hidden, so that...

Most columns, if you click the three dots at the top have a column filter option. The primary name column does not if I recall. It would be nice if it did.

Folders in general will not have great summing up capabilities in my experience. It can be done, forced through custom properties, but it gets cumbersome. What I have found more effective is to ...

Make sure you are in assembly mode with this button here: (if you use assemblies more than items you can change the default take-off mode to assembly in the settings so it will always start in asse...

I think in your case you would not want a folder, but a point count assembly, with items that use that point count for its measurements.Here I created two assemblies that are situations In the type...

Could it be a button next to the layers button. I tend to go there a lot, but maybe it will be less and less as I continue to develop our system.

I have never used a CAD file to do take off, but I could see the advantage when dealing with pages that need stitching. I wonder how this would work for a project that is several miles long? Wou...

I will upvote this as well!

Well what I have done for now is actually used an Area takeoff with a depth, I copied that takeoff area to all the other footings of the same type, and then used the "Section Count" variable to get...

@Sam @Stephen I made a video showing how it works in ProEst, what we have been using. I tried Stack for a while as well I think theirs worked similarly. Here Let me know if you want to set up a ...

Well, not exactly what I am looking for. I have described what I am looking for Here Edit:(the video recorded with now sound so I updated the link to a new one) This is a function I believe OST h...

I second this.

In the mean time I would suggest using the text with tags feature to let the name reflect what pitch is input. Roof @ [Pitch] -- or something to that effect. This way the name will tell you wha...

For the moment I just want to hide a few things. I don't know if in the future it would get more in depth than that.

I changed the items in the template how I want them, then did a new takeoff. Still not filtering out the unchecked boxes.
