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.

The future of PDFs? Less “Print to PDF,” more “Wow, this actually works!”

@Heber,I realize I didn’t explain this clearly. The key need here is for ZZTakeoff to generate a cloud-hosted hyperlink that allows anyone to access the takeoff output in a web browser—without requ...

Great idea on the print-to-PDF for all pages with takeoff—can we also include the legend? Actually, let’s go a step further. Dumping static PDFs isn’t the future. What we really need is a hyperlink...

We haven’t really needed to organize projects in OST because everything is stuck on individual computers. But as the industry shifts to web-native, multi-user platforms, this becomes a real conside...

This is fantastic! I literally just got off the phone with another tech-nerd GC, pointed him to this post, and shared it with a few people here. @John, I love the "without AI functionality" comment...

Image 2 is awesome—this gets me excited about PDF management, which is a huge problem in our industry. One of the biggest challenges we face is keeping track of the most current set of drawings (ve...

@Heber Great question. Start with by user is what is really needed for MVP, our people are smart and they can hide stuff on their own. As far as views, Ediphi has this figured out (well the UI su...

This would be wonderfull! After reading this thread one thing I was wondering was in this "space" can we also control what drawings are shown? For example if I want to invite my landscaper, they ...

Great thread on views—this is a crucial issue for multiple users. For example, if User A hides takeoffs, User B ends up with that same hidden view, which can be confusing when they return to work. ...
