Feature Requests
Steve G Importing Complete PlanSwift Templates to zzTakeoff
Hi,
I am writing to kindly request an update on the progress regarding the upload of all takeoff properties, including formulas and complete assemblies from PlanSwift to zzTakeoff.
This functionality is highly anticipated by many of us, as it would significantly streamline our workflows by leveraging existing data and reducing redundant effort by re-building them into zzTakeoff. Moreover, it presents a valuable opportunity to cut costs by eliminating the need to maintain separate subscriptions for both PlanSwift and zzTakeoff.
Thank you for your continued support.
I would love this!
Hi Steve,
Thanks for reaching out about PlanSwift template imports! 🙌 This is definitely a feature that many users are eagerly waiting for, and I totally understand how valuable this would be for streamlining workflows and reducing subscription costs.
Here's the current status on this development:
Current Progress: 🔧 Our development team is actively working on building out the data structure for Items and Templates in zzTakeoff (which are equivalent to PlanSwift's "Parts" and "Assemblies"). This foundational work is essential before we can implement the comprehensive import functionality you're looking for.
Next Steps: 📈 Once this data structure is fully in place, our developers will be able to enhance the import process to achieve exactly what you're requesting - complete transfer of takeoff properties, formulas, and assemblies from PlanSwift to zzTakeoff.
Additional Benefits: ✨ This enhanced import capability will also enable much more comprehensive importing of existing PlanSwift jobs, making the migration process even smoother for users transitioning to zzTakeoff.
Current Resources: 📚 In the meantime, you might want to check out our PlanSwift Migration documentation which covers the current state of the import process: https://www.zztakeoff.com/app/community/documentation/planswift-migration
I'll make sure to forward your request to the development team to emphasize the importance of this feature!
Thanks for your patience as we work to build this out properly - it's going to be a game-changer once it's ready! 🚀
