Custom properties question
113d 5h
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 ...
is text mode even necessary? text with tags with no tags performs the same no?
113d 22h
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
Updating the cost of a product will update its price on all items that it was applied to on the current project
114d 6h
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. ...
Metric & Imperial
115d 23h
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?
Separate out takeoffs by area
116d 23h
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...
Takeoff Multiplier
119d 20h
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...
Takeoff Multiplier
120d 1h
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 ...
How to Calculate Quantities for 4"-8"-12" Variegated Metal Panels
121d 0h
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 ...
How to Calculate Quantities for 4"-8"-12" Variegated Metal Panels
121d 0h
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...
How to Calculate Quantities for 4"-8"-12" Variegated Metal Panels
121d 0h
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...
metric: figured out a workaround to display width in mm in name using text with tags.
121d 3h
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.
Change takeoff height with same linear takeoff
121d 13h
Hey folks sorry I misspoke / misunderstood. I personally tend to ignore the takeoff level for the most part and create items and reference those properties in the part level to make it work for me....
Project folders
122d 0h
Yeah grey folders are magic lets get them in the project menu. would be awesome and yes let’s be able to hide even default properties we feel may be irrelevant
Change takeoff height with same linear takeoff
122d 0h
You can do this by creating a custom property at the takeoff level just need to commit to a name say Height 2. what I hope for is the eventual ability to reorganize the takeoff pop up so that we ca...

solved!
Custom Properties
125d 0h
I believe It should show up as long as the custom property has a value within said specific item. I could be wrong too though.
Auto Labels
125d 3h
if You use text with tags for naming you can utilize custom properties for this if you use auto name my work around is to create a zero cost item and attach the label I want to show on the takeoff
Custom Properties
125d 22h
My best guess as to how this meant to work is don’t hide anything until you’re finished building. then hide anything/everything and all the irrelevant stuff will disappear. ie. any custom propertie...
Add ability to sum like measurements to a 'master' measurement
126d 7h
If I’m understanding you correctly, You should be able to get what you‘re asking, as long as you have a part with the same name in each takeoff. I’ve had a situation where I wanted dimensions in th...
