Sounds complicated. How would one do this? I would love to just ask Claude build me xyz if I had a ideal workflow.... Now I'm worried about this making our workspace really messy fast, if these c...

@Heber, That is awesome and got some internal traction with that, but it limits us. Now we are back full circle here again with the problem we all knew was coming.....I have so many zzTakeoff proje...

We are hooking up Ediphi with Databricks and doing some wonderful things. Wondering if we can get read-only API access soon to zzTO to figure out what kind of data this could help with too.

@ Lorin When I got to the reports and look at all the grouping options and columns, any way to hide all that crap thats not used? We have so many custom properites that are hidden.........but they...

Its in the mail!

Can I sign a release form for Hensel Phelps and can you pretty please turn the auto-scale feature back on! I get it you can do it still with a few fumbles tho, but why make us fumble thru it.

@Shawn, Can you share a screenshot of that formula you used in the name? Love when you have box un-checked it said "No Restraint" That is so cool!

Shawn, Way to many clicks to do what you show :p. It needs to be here where the estimator needs it! one click!

Yeah exactly like that, we have it setup similar. Ideally you don't have to open up the "Properties window" is my ask tho. That is cool how you make it say "no restraint" and now I'm going to add ...

@Jeff, Thats the problem we have over here......things are simple to setup as a individual, but training and making it repeatable is the hard part. zzTakeoff is now "excel" for takeoff.......anyo...

HA thx Todd, guess I'm the local ediphi nerd too. In a sentence zzTakeoff is the final quantities, Ediphi is the initial quantities and the final estimate for GC's. Depends what you are trying ...

@Lorin, You really need to look into doing a excel-add in thru the Microsoft store like how Ediphi does it. Refreshable reports from zzTO in excel is the way.

I'm now dangerous with the pending update. The Section breakouts are getting close. The MVP thats missing is need to see it visually! Here is a 3min vid overview on how this works in zzTO and also ...

You have to adjust the points after the fact. However you can do this as a idea that might help. 30 second vid. LINK

Right click and hide all annotations to not select the hyperlinks. I hope hyperlinks become more "hidden" in the future to your point. If you hold ALT, then click/drag you can move anything fr...

@Luke, I need to figure out how you did that! Slick you got it to work after you did your takeoff, that is exactly what we are after, I played a little last night on TEST and need to dabble more.

Love to have the ability to group in that above screenshot view like we can in lists too! How about "match list grouping" toggle, kind of like how we have "match takeoff side bar" on the left page ...

Check this out! Slick roll up.

Darlene, You checked out Ediphi? Its made for that, as I'm using it now for a hotel. Would also use this multiplier for when I get situations like this that I'm in now.

Wow this is cool! I had a question, how do I auto-update the name formula, then I saw the bottom left option, slick.

@Lorin, Awesome on the copy takeoffs to new layer, was just showing the painfull workaround today where you have to do each page.....it was not fun.

Yellow folders are not the best work-flow and we will be shutting them off for the projects. Here is our workflow in a 2 min vid. Hope this helps LINK
