It works exceptionally well for us. You want your two points you select to be farther away from each other. When overlaying house plans, we may align the bottom left corner of the house, then gra...

I'm thinking more along the lines of label it with any value available on that takeoff item. I was just using that one as an example of a useful application using a custom property that I have and...

This would be great. I requested something similar in planswift years ago but was denied. I'd like to make that label report any field in that takeoff item. For example, one of my custom propert...

If you used artic mx-4 paste, you're probably still ok.

I used the multiply by zero because I have a parent item that contains all the variables for an assembly, but I don't want that parent item to output anything. All the variables have non zero value...

Call in and they can restore it for you.

I just add lines in my calculation that say+([unused variable]x0)

Do we have any updates on this and would it be possible to turn that check box back on but uncheck it by default?

I don't think it's anymore safe to copy the scale from a previous version as it is use ai detected auto scale. End of the day, the end user still needs to check scale and accept responsibility for...

We use zz for more than just estimating. It's also a communication tool for us and communication needs to be clear and accurate. In our masonry, precast, and concrete world, that means fractions....

I agree with the keep same color. If I'm copying, I either want an identical copy or I'm going to change several things anyway so adding changing the color to the list is no big deal. I like bein...

Top right, then settings, then check this box

I just figured out you should not use the versioning feature that allows you to move or copy takeoffs to the newest version automatically. It now does this without a scale resulting in incorrect t...

You can set them separately. That blue line is 20' long. If I rotate it 90 degrees, it then says it's 40' long.

[..] That will have the child inherit the parents name

It should continue to save all old versions as a child of the newest versions. Edit: just tried it on a revision and mine behave as expected. All previous versions remain as child of latest version

You can add any of your custom properties to your reports worksheet. You can add Qty without waste, Order Qty, etc Qty, and then see any or all of them in your reports.

Good question and I'm interested in hearing the answer. For our use cases, I am adjusting this width and depth on the takeoff item at the beginning of the process. The things I adjust in the repor...

Another competitor selling point bites the dust

I stay in p2p and use click and drag for box but im sure some like the option to have it selectable. Were good either way

I think you have to use this to pull a property from a child

This is where I use custom properties. I don't use cost each, markup, price each or anything built in. I have custom properties setup for material cost, rental cost, subcontractor cost, productio...
