Improvements to convert feature

Under Review
  1. Allow users to choose between converting one section to another section or duplicating/copying a section to another section.
  2. Enable conversion between different section types, such as from Area to Linear or vice versa.


I currently use a custom plugin in PlanSwift to achieve this, and I find it particularly valuable in the following scenario: After completing a flooring takeoff, I can convert or copy it to a linear takeoff for the wall base of the rooms. This functionality saves significant time.

For #1 you are talking about being able to copy & paste something as a new item, instead of duplicating it, like in PlanSwift right? Yes I definitely would like to see that functionality added.


As for the converting to different takeoff object types, that's interesting. So you have a plugin in PlanSwift where you can draw an area, and then when you are done, you can convert the perimeter of the area into a linear wall? That sounds pretty nifty actually

Thank you for your response.


For question #1 you can highlight an area, then hit Control "C" on your keypad then Control "V" to paste the new section where you would like it.

Question #2 is in review by our development team. We will update you on the status. Thank you!
