Sorting Issues?
54d 1h
Hey Tim, it looks like in your screenshot, you are not sorting the Folder (2). If you hold down Shift and click "Folder (2)" in the header, it should start sorting correctly.
Is there a setting where the bottom window keeps pace when you select items on the Takeoff window?

Hey Aaron, not yet, but I'll mention it to the team! We may need to scope it to the takeoff tree reports (which you're using), but I think that would be pretty cool. 🙂

Add Group By Page in the Takeoff Tab

Labeled Count
