What would make it easier (in my brain) and easier for all users, is to have "snap" points on both sides of the line. See this feature request. It would then function as the area merge tool does.

Mirror Takeoff Items

That could be useful. I was originally thinking to select the object that I want to mirror, enter the dimension as we do for offset, and hit "ok". In the video, tie-ins will require manual "tweakin...

Grouping Takeoffs by Section Properties?

I have 05 bldgs that I named in the section properties. I did that as I need breakouts for each, and was hoping I could pull a report........ I'll wait patiently.

Slice areas and retain arc points

As with the Merge function, I found that when I slice an object, I lose the arc points as well.

Merge Areas and retain arc points

When I am merging two areas, and any of them have arc points, I find that two things happen. 1. The arc is turned into segments, and a bunch of p...

I have two linear objects that I would like to merge. They can't be as they are drawn differently..... Can this be adjusted?

Mirror Takeoff Items

The offset function sort of works.....

Mirror Takeoff Items

When I am doing a road takeoff, I would love to be able to do one side of the road and then have a function to mirror the item to the other side o...

Snapping to the Opposite Side of Linear w/ Width Takeoffs

Team, giving this one a bump as I am struggling through a large project, and this would speed all of us up substantially.......

Array - Objects not holding rotation

Team, First off, the array function is awesome and continues to save time everywhere, so thanks again for plowing ahead on all the feature reques...

Scale Overlay page prior to aligning

I'd love to see that the pages I am overlaying use a dynamic scale. For example, when the sheet that I am working on is a scale of 1:300, and I ne...

Converting / Recording

When converting objects, there are times when it automatically starts "recording" a takeoff after you convert the object. It doesn't happen all of...

3D Earthwork Tool, Asking for user input

Some of these have been discussed in other posts above, and also in other questions/requests, but here are the highlights.Vectorizing and AutotraceI want to clarify that while it may be people usin...

Reports: Default to Current Layer or All Layers

A User/company setting would be great.

Have control of the order of variables

@Edinsa, I have found that whatever the order of the items is in my custom properties, is how they display in the item properties. Give rearranging on the "backend" a whirl and see if that helps. T...

Hidden Custom Properties

Team, IF you are like me and have been looking for a solution here, but didn't quite understand the process. I want to lay it out step by step. 1. Go to Custom Properties2. Open the Property (Grey ...

Merge w/cutouts

I tried another spot, and it merged the areas, but then removed the arc points in both the areas and the cutouts.

Merge w/cutouts

It is dang close..... The majority of the areas worked, but I had one instance where it "filled" an area that it shouldn't have.

Plans to support CAD import?

@David, Here is a discussion on stitching.

Merge w/cutouts

I have two area objects that I would like to merge. What I am finding is that when the object has a cutout, I am unable to merge

Viewing takeoff on outdated plans in Reports

Does grouping by Layer first not work for you?

Collecting Input: Array Command

@Fred, I gave this a whirl again today. It is working for me when I use the array command from the "Spacebar" menu. Also, one of my estimators told me to just use the "arrow" key. I don't know why ...

Collecting Input: Array Command

@Fred, I was able to use the "minus" key to make this happen.....

Plans to support CAD import?

I was thinking about this one today. Now and then, I get a CADD file. I import these into AGTEK or TBC to get my earthwork takeoffs. The thought is this...... If we could import the CADD file, use ...

Collecting Input: Slice Command

Polylines for the win! Sometimes the "breaks" are all sorts of directions.
