Yes you can. Right click on the area takeoff and select the Duplicate As command and pick linear (either new linear takeoff or an existing one you previously created), and it will do exactly what y...

I would, but zz needs to add more restrictions on what users viewing from shared link can and can't see. But that's a separate topic really

Yeah I noticed when trying to print directly to printer when PM wanted to see some area takeoff I did, I was having a heck of a time getting the print preview to match what my screen was showing

I didn't know that zz converts the pages into PNG/TIFF files similar to what PS used to do. I thought it working directly off PDFs this whole time. Interesting.

That's pretty cool. So you changed those fields to use formulas, and then you have a formula setup in there to pull those dimensions from the imported product list you manually created. Not a terri...

@Shawn-->-->--> I'm not sure how doing this on the product level would help if the user wants the takeoff objects to match actual dimensions on screen. But even if they don't need that, they would ...

I've got a beautiful set of plans that the zz OCR is struggling with on text searches, setting scales, schedule extraction, and Ask AI. 😝 I think I already shared them with Lorin or Derek a week o...

@Shawn If a user wanted linear objects & counts to appear on their takeoffs in their actual dimensions, they still need to go in and edit the takeoff properties manually one by one since batch inse...

Yes, extract schedule tool desperately needs improvements, I've been waiting for a year for it to be enhanced so that it can do things such as this: Batch insert still does not let you map to thos...

Yeah this sounds like a good idea. I personally wish I could restrict the color randomizer from selecting the top 3 & bottom 2 rows of colors because they don't stand out enough on plans and I alwa...

This would have been very helpful on the last project I worked on

On the topic of "real time follow" and collaborating with other estimators on takeoffs, I think it could be useful if you guys added a button we could click to instantly highlight/change colors of ...

Yup. Scale 1 page & then apply that same scale to all selected, with a warning prompt that the user has to confirm. Real simple, still want this ability

Yikes...and that's without even uploading several years worth of old PlanSwift projects, which I never got around to. 😬

Perhaps some type of active monitoring involving a linear object being drawn or pasted on top of the same coordinates as a prior linear object with a warning message or something?Or maybe just some...

Can we see what is in our drive to clean up space?

Gentleman's bump. I'm kinda surprised more people haven't asked for this enhancement to tie up the loose ends between the extract schedule tool, drawing linear takeoffs with widths & pairing them t...

I will be very interested in seeing how this feature progresses, as I spent many months last year feeding a couple LLMs screenshots of confusing section details and poorly coordinated floor plans, ...

Yeah no worries. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't something wrong on my end. I buried PS 6 feet under in mid 2025 once zz added all the essential features I needed

🤩

🤘

Yep definitely would like to see enhancements to search like this

@Stephen No thank you. My pinky greatly appreciates the caps lock key.

I guess they could have a prompt come up for new users and ask them if they want to try dark mode? But as someone who always used PlanSwift prior to zz, and only used Bluebeam occasionally for two ...

This is probably way too out there right now, but in the future I would love some type of hover-to-overlay capability if we have a section cut and we want to instantly pop it up/display it right on...
