Auto Show Count Labels (Toggle & Position)
1d 4h
Thanks for the feature requests! As a workaround for the Auto Show Count Takeoff Labels, if you use templates, you can make the label automatically show by using the Default Label Settings. We do...
Adjust Segments with Other Segments (and measurements between segments)
1d 4h
Now this is cool! Thank you for the feature requests, Kevin. We'll have to look into this!
Arch Points for Area and Linear Measurements
1d 4h
Hey @Steve, Arc points are not allowed for segments because we require 3 points for an arc, and segments only have 2 points. In this case, you will have to use a linear instead of a segment.
Grouping Takeoffs by Section Properties?
1d 8h
Hey Justin, you should be able to pull a report right now based on the WBS of your section properties - this limitation is specific to the takeoff sidebar. Here is a video that Todd made about the ...
Stitched Pages Polygon Crop & Custom Angle Rotation
1d 8h
Thanks for the feature request, Doug! Great examples, and screenshots! This is an area a lot of people have been asking about, so it's working its way up the list.
New Symbol
1d 8h
Hey Steve, thanks for the feature requests! We'll discuss internally on adding these 🙂
Searchable Notes/Call Outs
1d 8h
Great idea, Perry! I'll mention this to the team 🙂
Reports: item edits & source column
1d 9h
Hey Perry! Thank you for the feature requests. A lot of these should be able to be done with our current reports. 1. You can right-click on a takeoff row in the reports tab and select "Properties...
Merge Areas and retain arc points
1d 9h
Hey Justin - I replied to your other post about the slice area with arc points. Similar situation here, where we converted the arc points into normal points due to the complexity of merging/slicin...
Merge Linear
1d 9h
Hmm. This one is a little tricky to do. It could be possible, it's just a matter of making so when the line merges, the line is still a line and not a zig-zag because the points are out of order....
Mirror Takeoff Items
1d 9h
Thanks for the feature request! Are you thinking you would choose a section to mirror, then a section to mirror across? Glad you have somewhat of a workaround in the meantime. 🙂
Section Level Properties Measurements
1d 9h
Hey David, we've discussed this internally, and we are considering adding that ability. The main holdback for us is if you change the wall height per section, what wall height is shown in the repo...
Slice areas and retain arc points
1d 9h
Thanks for reporting, Justin. I think this was done because of the complexity of slicing, and or merging arc points. We'll dig into this to see if we can get a solution.
Hyperlinks copy with takeoffs
1d 9h
Thanks for reporting, David! We'll look into this. 🙂
Resolution Quality
1d 9h
@Isaac is correct. Bluebeam currently re-renders the PDF as you zoom and pan, while zzTakeoff renders the PDF file to an image, so it is super fast to pan/zoom. We have some features we are testi...
"Unit Typical" function / Group takeoffs by area on page for phasing and enlarged unit plans
2d 8h
@Dylan, here is a video that Todd made showing how to set up section properties & report on those properties - Sections and Custom Properties. We also have a Reports Bootcamp video on how to set up...
Area Cut Out Tool - behaving like a drunken sailor
2d 9h
Hey Levi, thanks for reporting, does this happen with a specific project, or specific area that you cut out of, or does it happen all the time?
Is there a reason why cutouts aren't recorded as negative sections?
2d 11h
I guess its all about preference/how you set up your formulas, WBS, and reports. Some users may want the cutouts to show and others don't.
Take off service marketplace
2d 11h
@Dustin, we don't have a dedicated forum/marketplace, but anyone who is a freelance takeoff specialist can reply here with their contact info if you want to reach out to them.
Area Cut-outs
2d 11h
@Tyler, in my example below, are you trying to copy the cutout from the right area and paste it onto the left area? If so, we currently don't have a way of doing that, but it could be pretty power...
Edit Report Values at the Subitem Level
2d 11h
This one is a little tricky. Technically that row is a section/item combination, and the cost each is pulled from the item. If the cost each was stored at the section, it could mean that you want...
Upload Project Plans Direct From Cloud
2d 11h
Hey Ability! Thanks for the feature request! This is a planned feature.
"Unit Typical" function / Group takeoffs by area on page for phasing and enlarged unit plans
2d 12h
Thank you for the detailed post/explanation! We recently introduced section level properties, which should help break the units out per page. We're also looking into takeoff/section/page multipli...
Scale Overlay page prior to aligning
2d 12h
Thank you for the feature request Justin! Definitely see how this would we useful.
Is there a reason why cutouts aren't recorded as negative sections?
2d 12h
@John, for example, if I do a 100x100 square, it shows 10,000 SF. If I cut out a 50x50 square, the total area for the 100x100 square becomes 7,500 SF. If we showed both the area, and the cutout, ...
