Ability to import documents in black & white instead of color (or toggle off color)

Completed

Currently working on a set of plans that have a little too much color detail on the plan drawings themselves, and was used to always working off of black & white sheets in other software.

Example:

Would like to be able to either import them in black and white, or have the ability to toggle on/off color on certain pages of the plans.

In the meantime I could probably modify the PDFs myself so that they aren't imported on here with color I suppose.

Thanks for the input. We'll add this to our list.

Great news! This feature is now available in our latest update through the "Show as grayscale" option. Here's how to use it:

Double-click on the page name in the left sidebar
In the page properties popup, you'll see a checkbox for "Show as grayscale"
Check this box to convert the page to grayscale
Click Save

This feature is particularly useful for plans like the one you shared, where colored elements might be distracting during takeoff work. You can toggle this setting on a page-by-page basis, so you have full control over which pages are shown in color and which in grayscale.

No need to modify your PDFs externally anymore - you can now handle this directly within zzTakeoff!
