trust but verify. I still wish zzTO would do it automatically when its imported! Bring that back

Fun fine tuning this, everyone wants hyperlinks, then they show up and now we got to fix xyz. All in the name of progress! So here are my other complaints: 1. This one is a bug in my opinion......

@ Stephen,Its a combination and depends. Yes to some but no to others. See screenshot. Was a pain to import this into our estimating tool since the codes dont come over yet.

This happens at any sort code with code/name.

I solved my problem. I can't believe you have this setup to work like this! Now I know why we love the product list!!! Here is a 2min vid for anyone who wants to learn. LINK

Now your getting into the fun stuff. All you have to do is this. 1min vid. LINK

must be user error lol. here is a 30 sec vid LINK

Now its a party! Thanks for the Loom David, this is this is exactly what the industry is missing, passing formula's from takeoff to estimate. Now that this is a epic clunkily workflow, now its ti...

@nicole, you can make the move handles bigger. Go to settings, top right by the question box and it’s right there. Make the move handle sidebars bigger. wish Stephen would make that the default t...

Oh this would work for your use case, turn that area into an item, then you can do that! Top right hit the block looking thing in the area parent properties and cover it to an item and build your...

What we do is make a "item" that is a **quantifier line, make this item be the outside surface of the insulation as one thought. Why do you need that specific quantity in the takeoff parent?

@Aaron, OMG those decimals would kill me, you should default your workspace to no decimals.

Yeah this would be wonderful!

I know how important this will be in the future. The BIM world (and other 2D/3D tools like Kreo) references these as "instances" If I were building zzTO that's what I would call them. "Instances".....

@Heber, Great Visual I'm thinking about this a little differently from a process piping standpoint. Imagine the parent being a linear and you want each section of pipe for spool length. If its ...

@ Vincent, We also switched from OST.....however when we get CUI jobs (high security) I have to go back and use OST still. Lets just say I have had to increase my therapy sessions when this happens.

Great to hear from folks over-sea's in England. Maybe someday we will get over ourselves and move to the practical metric system.

Kevin, Here is a 3 min video that might help with some of these. Cheers. LINK

Whaoo saw this just now!

@TecTon Estimating Good idea! This tool is crazy flexible...now imagine if you had 200 estimators working in your environment and everyone kept adding custom fields.......yeah thats our problem r...

Love it! Agree with the polyline as the default too. So glad you didn't start with "auto areas" that draw boxes for us, as that is junk if you can't "slice" the area boxes. This is foreshadowing...

Thank you Stephen! Going to be key to make this clean for our people. Right now I think the best-work-around is making a number in the name, but then that gets lame when you transfer it over to th...
