Fun note! I threw that challenge to Togal, workpack and the person who invented assemble a few years ago. Actually got some legit working mockups from assemble and workpack. Also word on the street...

Number 3 on our list. Glad its in the works. Side note our company uses OST right now, and I've noticed folks dont really use the "Zones" features to much. The Area feature in OST is the most us...

@ Heber, That is cool! I tried pasting from bluebeam and was sad it didnt work (understood I can screenshot it tho) Ideally since most of us use Bluebeam, be wonderful if that would work when you c...

Heber, Got it thanks for the clarification. I like the functionally of having it sorting by alpha-numeric and helps me keep things organized and consistent and think we should remove the "free for...

Bumping this up to show a real example on how painful life is for us estimators. I'm going to be slip sheeting drawings here for the next hour because of the Amendment we got, nothing like a mind...

@sam - I bet you need a degree in astrophysics to figure out how to do that. @AnonymousOne - Negative you would not need to pay for Ediphi. You would need excel tho which I bet you pay already. ...

Curious on the Goal Here—Need to ClarifyBefore we dive too deep, I think we need to step back and ask: what's the actual goal here with the report designer? Is the goal to give subcontractors or GC...

Thanks! I think I know what Greg is really after. He wants to take a drywall measurement in that folder and, instead of duplicating the takeoff and reassigning it to the paint folder with a differe...

Love it and always standard practice when making variables in other tools. I like that its baked in at the root so its harder to mess up.

Can we move to the metric system so we dont have to deal with inches :) I vote decimals too, easier to translate to other tools without messing up the conversions.

@ Todd Yeah lets connect for sure, you have made some waves as well in the industry:) I still disagree that its not working yet to the best it could yet, I would like the folders to also be colla...

@ Brandon I'm going to add you to our next project to bid on. Be interesting to see if both the GC and the Trade partner see benefit in doing takeoff together. Hmmm

Same here! Great idea Todd

+1

@ Brandon, Great point. This is exactly why we use a estimating tool on top of our takeoff. There are so many items (especially when we are doing early concept takeoffs) that we have to "forecast...

@greg I'm learning here too and had to figure this out. I made a 3min video on how to do this. Hope its helpful. Perhaps someday we will use excel and our calculators less! LINK

We’re in a multiplayer web world, folks. If you send me a URL link to your takeoff instead of a PDF, I’ll literally do a celebratory dance jig. You want collaboration? Send the hyperlink. Let the p...

@Casey, Haha I saw that Reddit post and immediately thought of you. I always appreciate your comments, keep ‘em coming!Quick side note: I only get notified when I'm part of the thread in zz. And ho...
