I do get the complication though I imagine this doesn’t roll out all at once. if adding a multiplier to a takeoff one might assume incorrectly it’s only multiplying the one instance on the page th...

I’m gonna say I don’t agree here. Page may be most useful of the lot but creating a custom multiplier for a takeoff using custom properties requires foresight when building every single template. I...

I have also had some success when wanting naming conventions to change when changing custom properties is to use auto name at takeoff level and create a zero cost item in other category and use tex...

Yes that however you want to word it lists at takeoff level with columns that can represent custom properties. make a selection and everything changes. Then I link my results to wherever I choose ...

Replying to @Stephen is there not a way to allow lists at the takeoff level without having products in the takeoff level ? Basically looking for a way to have information in the list at the takeo...

having abiility to create a robust list at the takeoff level is what I'm looking for too.. So I can send any information I want down to my items. Ideally I could create a whole bunch of custom prop...

I’m also trying to replicate something I built in PS.. using access lists, This example is specifically for pipe insulation.In PS, I could select the insulation size and thickness from a single lis...

I would love to use alphanumeric characters (two maybe three) instead of a symbol to my point counts so I have more variety / can know for certain what they are without clicking on them.

Mostly true. If you often leave a window open to zz and want to be sure you are working on most recent build you should refresh your page once in a while.

hi RJ yes you can do this in settings.

Welcome Dan!

Just to add context, I experimented with true fractional characters (⅛, ¼, ⅜, ½, etc.) but it didn’t improve the sort order. Feels like the sizes are being sorted as text instead of numeric values,...

I'd like to see a dimensional aspect to the pattern request so you can visualize the size of the material its meant to represent. a simple line break or box size at a set dimension would be amazing.

Yes I’m glad we have both options to change this inside a project as welI. I just think when possible it’s safest / cleaner to choose the UOM you want to use in takeoffs at the project level. ther...

Stephen, I’m not sure if it is that simple. I believe the choice you make at the project level is what determines the default measurements for the takeoffs you start. you could do this, but I thin...

Yes starts with is helpful. for example:heat trace is expensive if I search heat trace I’ll miss heat tracing so I search for heat trac

@Kyle This is mostly solved now. If you go hybrid and start mixing units inside takeoff, you just need to be mindful of how the items and templates were originally built and how you’re using the cu...

actually I know you can batch edit cost each even switch to formula mode within reports tab, I assume you could do the same with markup% , it won’t update your lists but you can use it if you’re f...

i really like this. I also was thinking it would be great to be able to customize your own dropdown list of frequently searched terms. i

I have been using reports tab to improve my templates because im finding it faster to edit them as takeoffs then save them as new templates. Looking forward to having the ability to open up existin...

You're a wizard Sam. Is there a way to batch insert a formula into your items or do you have to open each one individually so you can enable formula mode?

We believe the best software is built by listening. zzTakeoff turns real customer feedback into serious, surprisingly fun takeoff and collaboration.

also would be very useful to make a check box to auto add a hyperlink back from where you came

@justin for now you can make them searchable in another software before uploading to zz. PDF xchange has a free for life version that works great

also N doesn't work for mewhen OCR search is open
