Is there a way to turn off auto merging when using box mode?

Sometimes I'm trying to double up on the area.

Visibility Settings of Take-off Items is Clunky??

Jumping in here to say it might be useful to have an 'isolate' option that hides all other takeoffs except for the selected takeoff.

Select Multiple Plans

I'm on windows. I wonder if this is a Mac-specific bug.

Select Multiple Plans

+1 for adding the ability to multi select drawings on the 'Plans' tab @KEVOB Ltd. you can multi select pages on the 'Takeoff' tab by holding down 'Ctrl'.

Add Scale Option under the Auto-Detect with AI Menu

As I was putting this together I had this thought too. Glad to have it confirmed.

Add Scale Option under the Auto-Detect with AI Menu

It seems the auto scale upon project upload feature was striped recently. I found it really useful and time saving. Can we have an option to selec...

Option to show revision drawings as comparative overlays

I like how when a revision drawing set is added to a project zzTO stacks drawings and leaves the old set viewable. Can we have an option to view b...

Sloped Linear with Wall Height/Depth & Width

I would like to be able to use the sloped linear with the same wall height/depth & width parameters as a flat linear.

Line Annotation Tool

I like to mark off key notes as I reviewed drawings. I know a current work around is creating a dummy takeoff, but I think this would be a useful ...

Expand Sorting Logic to Include Fractions

Above is not sorted in a way one would logically think they should be (i.e. 1/8" < 1/2" < 3/4" < 1-1/16" < 1-1/8" etc.)

Minor Update: Triangulate Tool, Pitch Tool, QR Code Tool, Option for OST Zoom / Scroll Settings, Search Improvements, etc.

The Smarter Sorting in Reports & Sidebars update is an awesome QoL update! Can this be expanded a little bit to also include fractions? Reference:

Copy/Pasting in Templates

Seems to be working as intended. Thanks for checking!

Adjust search bar in project explorer to include custom properties in the search

The search bar does not look at custom project properties currently. I am starting to add a project number to each project and would like to be ab...

I just completed a QTO of a 1,500+ ton project. It's a bit of mess, but I ended up doing this: This is just a few screenshots of the takeoffs I created and not all of them. I don't think this is...

Reverse Detail Lookup

I imagine this will be coming when we zzTO releases an auto-count feature. Probably draw a selection box around the detail callout and have an option for search as image?

How are other users breaking down their QTO since zzTO doesn't have OST's 'Areas' function?

@Stephen this might work for a small job, but I can't imagine doing this for a drawing set that is 300+ pages where a client is requesting the project be broken down into 10+ scope buckets, alterna...

How are other users breaking down their QTO since zzTO doesn't have OST's 'Areas' function?

I have trialed the 'layers' feature zzTO has as the workaround, but ultimately I do not like a few things about it: You're unable to move on...

Gray Folder at Project Level Not Working with Custom Properties

@Stephen, this is in relation to project organization in the file explorer, not the reports tab. When I hit 'Open Project' in the top left, I want my projects to be organized by the custom property...

Is there a way to assign Zoom to Fit to a mouse click command?

I have the exact same mouse, and I've ran into the same thought that it would be nice if I could make use of the side scroller with zzTO.

Is there a way to assign Zoom to Fit to a mouse click command?

Another useful tip I'll absorb!

Is there a way to assign Zoom to Fit to a mouse click command?

@Heber, it might also be nice to have a 'Zoom to Window' in the context menu after drawing a selection box. Basically, like using F10 without having to search for the hotkey.

Hyperlink Improvements

I think it would also be nice to be have the possibility of having a transparent shape, like the count's circle, that we can put over a detail callout without a label. Maybe make it so when you hov...

Gray Folder at Project Level Not Working with Custom Properties

I have created a custom property 'Project Number' and I'm attempting to group my projects in the project viewer by a 'Project Number' gray folder....

New Update: Hyperlinks, Imperial + Metric Scales, Gray Folders in Pages & Project, Auto Box Mode for Linear, etc.

I love the hyperlink update. Can we have a setting that would allow users to open the hyperlink in a new tab or window?

Selections deselect when holding shift and clicking a blank spot

I've also noticed that when you shift click a single takeoff it does not deselect it, but if you 'green' lasso it, it will deselect it.
