A week ago: No AI used by me. A week later (today): Completely AI performed takeoffs, AI directly populates our company's quote form (skip reports), AI completed vendor forms with sketches, AI crea...

Hi Victor, I am applying Claude-MCP in a workflow mode only, no plugins whatsoever. While the time savings ratio varies from function to function, yesterday I built a Claude skill that is a 90 perc...

Changing my mindset from a task/feature based approach to a results based approach made all the difference in using AI/MCP. Rather than stringing together commands in a script/programming approach,...

Sorting Project List

Hi Lorin! Rather than create folders and manually drag projects to them, for sorting and organizing projects is there a plan to add properties or options for custom properties at the time of creat...
Reports Customization/Organization

*Sequence # Tip: Initially setup your sequence # 's to skip 5 or 10 numbers making space for future product items to be inserted without editing the entire list. Ex:1.000001.000051.00010 If the ski...
Reports Customization/Organization

Hi Jon, I created a sequence # property for every product list item and assigned a sequence # that meets our report "sequence order" requirements. It's a bit tedious to setup but saves a lot of tim...
Scaled Plan region
93d 20h
Hey Luke, I duplicate that page and then set the scale for each page separately to do takeoffs only in the area for the given scale of that page.
Takeoffs
94d 19h
If I interpret what you want to do correctly, then highlight all the takeoff items you want to copy in your Takeoff Tab and select Ctrl+C. Open the project you want to copy it to. In the Takeoff Ta...
Zz Are you working on a way to import-export our lists for faster updates on pricing?
95d 4h
I hope to see it soon. It is not just pricing that need easy batch edit. All the properties that make up a list item are subject to mass edit needs.
Stitched Pages Polygon Crop & Custom Angle Rotation
101d 2h
THIS is a huge issue I have been dealing with. Any chance you can share how to do this / set this up?
Stitched Pages Polygon Crop & Custom Angle Rotation
101d 2h
@Shawn M, so the red dot allows you to rotate a sheet to join sheets that do not have matchlines that are 0, 90, 180, etc?
Different Scales on a single page?
125d 19h
Hey Shane, I usually duplicate the page and perform takeoffs with scale "A," then do takeoffs on the duplicate page at scale "B." For clarity, I drop a note on those pages so it is quickly obvious ...

@ Rick, I have similar interests as your initial post. While this does not address everything you ask for, this helps me organize reports by adding a "Sequence #" property to everything in my produ...

Way to bring all sheets together into 1 sheet if there's a key plan
157d 23h
Pages can become cluttered with takeoffs, so I often duplicate pages to separate different division takeoffs. Is there a way to duplicate a group of already stitched pages?
Ortho Axis

Ortho angle request for pipe bend angles 11.25 & 22.5 degrees. I would definitely want to the ability to turn these on/off as I would only need them in specific circumstances. Getting those exact ...
Ready to Test: Joist Tool, Beam Tool, Grid Tool, Section Level Properties (Zones, WBS), Labels, Slice, Lasso, etc.
165d 19h
Search / Create Count Takeoffs: Finding items and assigning a takeoff is good. Better would be the capability to select a takeoff (and all sub-assembly parts) from a template. For example, if I se...
Way to bring all sheets together into 1 sheet if there's a key plan
165d 21h

Product lists
