Sweet! Can you make a 10min video to go over this? I’d soak it up way more and then try it while watching if I had a video.

Dove in for 30 min and having fun exploring, still got more to learn! Here is my takeoff I was messing with: https://dev.zztakeoff.com/app/takeoff?projectId=oteo4Qcj5kuABGSNc&pageId=PLRuAsFHuunTLuL...

Can't wait to dive in. First thought. Do you have a OST template importer? Here is a picture of ours and I shot it to Derek.

@Geoff, Vertical GC here that does $8B/year with 200 estimators. Man, I totally hear you... trying to tackle cost modeling for sales folks, QTO, drawing review, and estimating all in one package is...

You got it spot on. I made a 50 second video of a real job to further illustrate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofFRQnFrsEM

I kind of feel like this could be a WBS. You could tag each takeoff item under the group with a location field by selecting the items right click and name them on the fly…. Then you could magical...

Yeah brilliant!, every time I see that I go errrr, but then get excited that all I have to do is window over it and it scales itself. This will reduce even more clicks🥳

@jess hit the problem with the left panel. “since we can't really organize them on the left panel” would love to have the same structure as the right side on the left. If you have it setup on th...

@john. I love both right and left panels. When Using OST I was use to having the QTO by page, but then when I needed to go find ALL the quantitites I would go to the takeoff tab ot get the entire s...

This all sounds great—I'm glad you're headed in this direction. My vote: out of the box, give us a couple of examples, but let us build our own templates so we can scale internally. I don’t want pr...

Yeah that would work great, its a low use case. One thing to think about is how do you handle this when you have multiple floors for one page, OST you put a factor on the page and it automatically...

LOVE AG GRID, cant wait!

When I window over the 20'

Yeah I second that. I ended up deleting my project and making a new one, becuase the pages I imported did not have the bookmarks. (side note these are really conceptual 200 pages and not labeled...

Wow I learned a new trick! If you select ANYTHING that you have taken off, area, length, count, measurement, then hit the "N" key it makes a new measurement of the object you selected. Just l...

+1. I got bluebeam open now using the search feature.

Bluebeam already handles this wonderfully and in an automated way, so this request would bring it on par—and honestly, make it even simpler to set up in one tool. One feature i've always wished for...

Great post Heber, keep these coming. Fun to get a glimpse into your brain! Q1: What do you like about your current takeoff software handling of assemblies, formulas, & items. A1: We use OST, and I ...

Funny story—I was helping someone with OST the other day, and they had links all over the place, hopping from page to page like some hidden cheat code. I’ve used OST for years and had no idea that ...

@Rick is what your after in item #1 and r #2 to show the total of 7.5” asphalt in one line item correct, so it would read 14,200sf? Can you drag the takeoff item column header to the grouping row...

Our internal team is asking, because the Owner is asking. We will do our typical SWAG until our tools can measure this someday. Low priority for sure.
