@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...

@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...

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.

Another useful tip I'll absorb!

@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.

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...

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

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.

Create a new area-type takeoff with the output being 'Section Count'. Right click the cut-outs and 'Convert To...' to the new area takeoff.

I am not able to cut/paste. I would like to be able to cut a takeoff from one page/layer and paste it to another. The workaround I do now is copy/paste and then go back and delete. Maybe you're on...

@James I'm not seeing this on my end. I can only convert area-type takeoffs to area-type takeoffs.

Tyler, there's a workaround for that. You can create an area measurement and then right click it and 'Duplicate As...' your desired linear takeoff.

Lorin, Thanks for the 'hold shift' tip. I didn't know that was a possibility. I'm still getting unexpected sorting. Notice below how the sub-division is sorted odd. When I use just the sub-divisi...

The [Width:In] is awesome! Can you update the sorting logic so that 12" > 8" in the takeoff pane?

I see this was added. Thank you! When I use the arrow keys and then hit enter it doesn't select the highlighted takeoff, instead it just selects the takeoff at the top of the list.

Thanks Heber!

I think it makes sense to have search visible by default. They don't take up much screen real estate, and it’s not exactly obvious they're available unless you've dug through a bunch of videos and ...

I agree, zzTakeoff is knocking it out of the park with these features. This one in particular, even. I just think they could be tweaked to make them even better. I have a minor annoyance of having ...

I agree at some point we'll have to accept that zzTakeoff handles things different than OST, but this one feels like it would be quicker because it's slightly less clicks and less fishing through a...

I'll throw in a third for Areas. I used that feature on just about every project in OST.

I've had the same thought, but ultimately I simply don't want to do that. It feels like double work and a slow down to workflow. Plus, it would be annoying to teach to other estimators that ultimat...

@Lorin is there documentation we could look at to help us build our own naming formulas? The syntax of using print and $ft\ & $in\ is not intuitive and I wouldn't have guessed that's what would hav...

I think if you are consistent with the naming of your parts/item, then they should automatically sum for you in the reports. This: Outputs this already:

Yeah, I don't like the usage work around either. I think I'm a bit lower tech than you are- I am simply exporting to my excel template. My current work around is having a manual '0' quantity placeh...

Each paint takeoff has a part/item that shares a common name (e.g. paint) that outputs the area of the takeoff. When you go to an item report it tallies up all the parts/items with the same name in...
