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...

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 ...

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...

@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...

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 ...

It's alive!

It will be in the update.

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...

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....

What two measurements are you using?

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

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.

You should be able to adjust the height and when you reopen the properties window, it should default to what you adjust it to.

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

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 ...

Use two regular points and two arc points. To make an arc point, hit A. Arc points shown as diamonds instead of circles.

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 ...

Click on the point that you want to be an arc point, hit "A".

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.

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.

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...

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...

Click your starting point Use number pad to tell it which direction you want the line/dimension to go (works in 45 degree increments)2=down1=down/left4=left7=up/left8=up9=up/right6=right3=down righ...

The more I think about this topic, the more I think simplicity is best, at least for us. The thing that makes our workspace most difficult is clutter. The best way to declutter this left-hand side ...
