Commenting to follow comments, I have a fancy mouse with programmable buttons but I haven’t spent the time to try to utilize it. i have a Logitech MX Master 4, it’s great but it’s wasting it’s tale...

Hi Jason, have you tried using the wbs property into your group by cost type then the wbs category then item name should work

try adding a zero for the single digit numbers

Not sure if this would break something else you’re trying to do but I’ve changed the way I do my labour so it’s calculating hours output at all times and cost each is the labour rate so everything ...

It’s also very helpful to respond. Todd just Google zztakeoff reviews. Read the ai overview. It picks up one of your videos comparing zz to stack and suggests a watch. if there was no counter narra...

i've tested it! works great! thank you!

Hi lorin I haven’t had a chance to test it fully. I did notice the ability to output imperial units when scaling in metric, but I didn’t realize I was able to select imperial for a metric scale se...

i like it. would be cool to temporarily sort by different variables ex. area in a building and group Arch Mech and Plumbing drawings for same section of a building. or being able to create custom...

i think you’ll find what you’re looking for playing around with it but if you put layer first it helps a lot so you still have a total total and below you can keep grouping! try layers then your cu...

I’ve found it very helpful to put layer first in group by. this will clearly show totals on the top row and depending on what else you’ve got you can usually find what you’re looking for. it will j...

I like this suggestion!

I haven’t yet utilized products and items. thanks this all makes sense to me

sorry just reread that I need to have default inherit and it will not break yeah?

Thanks Lorin. i want to add this functionality, but I’m a little afraid to break something and not notice. inherit mode works great on custom properties, but I’ve noticed it will break if I select ...

fair point even if its not nixed i vote the default mode be text with tags. or create the ability to set our own defaults. thanks Heber

this can be done now very efficiently from the reports tab on any takeoff.. and i just thought of a decent workaround for now for anyone that is looking for a quick way to update your templates. ...

Beau, I totally understand the frustration. For Canadian work, metric drawings with imperial materials is a headache, and this feature really matters. That said, I’ve found the ZZ team unusually re...

When you say next update, do you mean next major update, or is this coming somewhat soon?

There are a few ways to approach this, but the simplest option is usually in the Reports tab. If your drawings don’t overlap between the areas you’re trying to separate, you can break the takeoff o...

i appreciate the foresight in blocking multiplier as a property Page level multiplier would for sure be very useful, but I forsee it would be awesome to have both. I would love to have a takeoff le...

i dunno ive been debating adding a custom property called multiplier and having the default setting as 1 then have my formula ("formula") * [multiplier] for each item in my takeoff. as long as its ...

Alternatively, you could do this with three separate linear takeoffs, each counting one panel every 24". If you know which panel the pattern starts with, you can stagger the starting point of each ...

You’re very welcome. I mostly just hack my way through things and gradually improve whatever I’ve built. I’m lucky that a lot of my work is fairly repetitive, so I can keep refining the same templa...

I don’t have full context on your application or how far you’re pushing the software, but if this is a straightforward system, one possible approach in ZZ Takeoff would be to base the takeoff on th...

First VALUE for me SHOULD BE [WMM], but you get the idea. I'm sure this will be useful in other ways too, thought id share.
