Sheets Merging
90d 20h
You have to flip through all pages on the new plan import and verify that Old Page = None. Sounds like this work around won't be needed very long at all though thanks to the zz team rapidly improv...
Sheets Merging
91d 1h
I've requested an option to bypass versioning for this scenario. For now, the work around I use is to flip through the pages on this "Review Pages" screen and make sure the Old Page field is set on...
Material with labor together
106d 23h
Out of the box, it would need to be different takeoffs. If you use custom properties like I'm thinking of using, brick will be an each count and labor will be converted to hours/days using a produ...
Material with labor together
109d 18h
Custom properties. I'm debating going this route to match our current spreadsheet and I'm needing to create several other custom properties anyway to price the way we price work, so it makes sense...
SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
110d 1h
Our folks have to earn super user status. Start at jr and learn our ways, then get estimator level unlocked and learn those pieces they can change, then sr estimator unlocked and they graduate to ...
SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
110d 2h
My thoughts on locking are relatively simple and look something like this image below. I don't want my end users changing calculations, so I want to minimize and lock that. I may even put the cal...
Ready to Test: December 2025 Release with a Ton of New Features
112d 18h
@Patrick I didn't think about it until I saw your post but there is a work around to undock this now. Open the same job in two browser windows with the takeoff tab open in one and the report tab i...
Ready to Test: December 2025 Release with a Ton of New Features
112d 19h
I like having the choice. We are in the brick industry where brick are typically quoted something like $455/1000 which we price in our templates as $0.455. I'd like to have 3 decimals for brick ...
Ready to Test: December 2025 Release with a Ton of New Features
113d 2h
It's alive!
Formula in Name Property
113d 16h
It will be in the update.
SURVEY - Locking Templates and Formulas - Internal Controls
113d 20h
100% Once the new update rolls out, we'll start building out our phase 2, taking our zz usage from takeoff only to an estimating platform but that will not be fully rolled out to our team until p...
Using two measurements in one formula
130d 21h
For that, I'm assuming you would have a couple different takeoffs like area of 12:12 roof and area of 8:12 roof. Each one would have the same takeoff items like sheathing, tar paper, and shingles....
Using two measurements in one formula
130d 21h
What two measurements are you using?
Lower Decimal placement when in forumla mode for takeoffs items
138d 2h
I believe this is mentioned in Todd's latest sneak peak video of upcoming changes about 24 min in: Sneak Peek Video for the New Features Updates that are coming soon! | zzTakeoff
Overlay Alignment options
138d 19h
I agree on the sheet leveling or tilting. We overlay landscape architect's drawings over site plans regularly and they are typically not in the same orientation.
Item Template Properties Window Size
140d 0h
You should be able to adjust the height and when you reopen the properties window, it should default to what you adjust it to.
Collecting Input: Plan Sets / Versioning
141d 23h
I like version but revision is fine too. Starting at zero works. This looks great! I prefer using 0,1, 2, 3 etc for the increments
Template Protection
146d 2h
Permissions for this type of thing have been requested. For now, I duplicate all my templates so that I have backups just in case someone changes something I don't want changed. I also reiterate ...
Round Area
146d 2h
Use two regular points and two arc points. To make an arc point, hit A. Arc points shown as diamonds instead of circles.
Set default sizes for text and takeoff lines
147d 19h
When I start using notes, I typically do one, adjust everything to my liking, then copy and paste that one to every other spot that I want to add notes just so it's all consistent and I don't have ...
create existing takeoff point to arc
148d 2h
Click on the point that you want to be an arc point, hit "A".
Hotkeys for toggling
161d 0h
Same, I don't have any preferences other than what they are. Being able to customize them would be great though and allow each user to adjust to fit their workflow best.
Hotkeys for toggling
161d 19h
Sunday, I figured out that if you are holding shift down, you can snap to other takeoff points (green square snap) even when snap is set to off.
Minor Update: Vertical Linear, Sneak Preview for Box Mode
168d 0h
You can actually already do that. Highlight the area you want to adjust, box the two points you want to move turning them orange, then push left/right/up/down/45* to move those to points together y...
Rotate Counts with custom degrees
173d 19h
You can rotate in 1 degree increments using Shift/Alt/O. Once rotated the correct amount, you can copy and paste the takeoff with that same rotation. In your scenario with multiple size point loa...
