Joist take off tool

Completed

From an amount of click point of view. It would be nice to only need to access one window mostly. This is not completely possible as access would still be needed for updating or changing etc. Keeping it as simple as possible would be ideal.

I’m going to try explaining it as the main window

When you start a joist take off. The initial joist is not there In the materials and labor list.



Currently we are typing what material we are using. It would be great to tell it from the Product list exactly what we want. 



I think Item Name will look something like this


I am not sure, but the way the current joist tool is setup. It kind of feels like all that needs to be done is tell the Material Size what is needed from the product list rather than typing it in.

The existing joist tool gives all that is needed. It just does not allow Customer product selection. What I am looking for is similar to this



The @ sign in TALLY should rather read as 2/10, 1/14, etc

 

The spacing to read 16 rather than 1.3333

Hey Wesley, in our next update, we will have text with tags for "Material Size" and "Material Type".


Another thing - You can reference "[Spacing:dimension]" to get the dimension of (1'-4"), or you can do "[Spacing.in]" to pull the inches in your text with tags property. One thing to note - using the ".in" will only pull the inches you entered, and will not auto convert the feet to inches.


Thank you this helps.
