Is overlay possible for updated plans, when old set of plans and takeoffs were done in another software(PlanSwift)?

Hello David & Welcome to ZZ! ZZ rocks like ZZ Top🤘!

If you import the project from the software that shall not be named, it will pull it in as a ZZ Project. You will then have the ability to load in the new plans and overlay them.

Note: if you have any type of assemblies that were built in PS, they won't translate too well in ZZ. Still worth a try to bring a project in though.

Do you need any help importing the PS projects?

I have been using Claude once I have transferred a "other" file into zzTakeoff. If you have similar assemblies in zzTakeoff that you had in the "other" software, you can teach Claude a skill and it does a remarkably decent job in rebuilding the original file. I just did something similar yesterday and it created a better file than the original once complete.

not a bad idea Gary. When i have more credits, i'll give that a go. All my projects are assemblies.

There are enough of us that have used the other software that I have been mapping and training Claude and hope to have a plugin that can do it without Claude. I have had decent success with Claude being able to convert a skill he has learned into a script that can reside inside the software. Once I get it polished I will see if zzTakeoff will help me get you a copy to check out.
