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

Another idea would be a breakout management tool that we could use after completing a takeoff.For example, allow us to define and label all breakout areas up front. Then we could select Pages, Item...

haha, another option , and i dont know if its possible on web but could have it match the users system settings by default

ive come across something similar before i was trying to use a variable somewhere other than in my calculation formula I eventually added a ([variablename]-[variablename])

did you select a linear with wall height at the takeoff level? it wont work on flat linear

Are those takeoffs separate from one another in the takeoff window? if they are I don't think they can group together in the reports. My understanding is like named items will group together but no...

I think the confusion is that the takeoff doesn’t need to be in the group-by at all here.The report should be able to roll those hours up by WBS independently. Just summarizing output differently.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you. Sorry if I’m putting you through a loop

Layer/cost type/category/item name/takeoff

In your situation l, try putting your wbs category before cost type

you can put takeoff after item name if you want to be able to check for reference where they're coming from, but i would set the default expand level to item name and click to open as necessary.

hey jason, try taking out takeoff. and replacing it with item name. as long as your labour item names you want grouped together have the same name and are descriptive enough for you to decipher wha...
