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 ...

My thoughts were in another post located in this thread:Page sorting within jobs - PLEEEZ help! | zzTakeoff

To add onto this page rotation request, it would be nice to be able to rotate them in 1, 15, 45, and 90 degree increments. We overlay landscape and topo plans on house plans regularly and a lot of...

One of our biggest issues as a company has been office/field collaboration. If we can leverage this tool to bridge that gap, it's a game changer in yet another way.

Are you talking about calculating the length of a rebar stirrup? For example, say we have a 12"x24" footing/beam/column with #4 stirrups and 3" of coverage, you are looking for that 12"x24" cross ...

Agreed, we're already on it and loving it so far but using it for takeoff only until permission control and locking comes out. Once we have that, we'll start implementing estimating out of it and ...

@Kyle,I understand what you are saying and there definitely needs to be portions that the estimator can modify such as variables. Some things they should never modify though such as the formula. ...

@Kyle, i'm talking about the items and assemblies. I need to be able to have formulas built in and have control over what the user can and can't modify.

Do item and assembly updates include the ability to lock them? That's the one piece that's really holding me back from building this out for my estimating team right now.

We'd like the default collapsed folders as well

That's the one feature we really hated losing when we left OST years ago. I think the best work around now is to cut the area you would have broken out in OST. Paste it into a new page. Sort tak...

Are you importing from bluebeam into zz and searching? I know that the search doesn't work on jobs we import from planswift and I assume that's because planswift stripped out what was needed to pe...

It's up. Very nice!

This one has already been requested in the feature request section and shows "under review" Measurement appearing beside cross hairs while doing linear and area takeoffs | zzTakeoff

2nd patterns. Preferably scalable patterns.

This just made me think of an idea for versioning that might work. Instead of having all of the versions of a sheet as separate sheets, overlay all new versions of a sheet on the original like you...

Agreed, any item that we put a dimension in, we want to see the takeoff scaled so that dimension shows accurately. We would prefer scaled to be checked by default on all items as well.

As far as I know, yes, that's right for an item that is set up as only linear. You have to switch it to a measurement type with width to be able to adjust the width.

Change measurement type to one of the linear with width options, enter a width, check "Scaled", and select a side of line.

I have not. I don't want the users that I'm sharing with to be able to do anything other than view but I'd like for them to be able to streamline their viewing experience.

Is this planswift box mode vs point to point? If so, I second that. box mode cuts clicks in half for backing out doors and windows.
