If you want to mess with section properties here's a quick dirty way to get you started: First you have to go to settings under your profile icon Click on 'Takeoffs' under Workspace Settings and 'E...

There's a couple ways I can think of doing this: Duplicate the default layer and delete the takeoffs not necessary for the breakout in the duplicated layer.Tag specific sections with section proper...

I tend to agree with Kyle on this. I think adding a 'dummy' layer where the scale, hyperlinks, and overlays live is a bit clunky of a UI/UX solution. If this is how it's being handled on the backen...

Could I also have this sent my way?

Coming back to this. I've noticed perhaps a clearer pattern that might help debug this. If you have recently edited a child item/part/takeoff of a takeoff and then go to add a takeoff from your te...

@Sam I'm a RSMeans Online/Gordian Cloud Platform user. It would be incredible to see a way to send zzTakeoff quantities to RSMO/GCP or have RSMO/GCP data in zzTakeoff. Any chance of that happening ...

@Kyle how does you and your team handle breakouts, VE options, alternates?

We're using layers for estimate breakouts (e.g., area a, area b, area c, etc.). We are a small team that don't typically work on the same drawings at the same time.

Seems to be working how I would expect it to. Thanks!

Here's my workflow. It's a bit of a pain, but it might be less actions. I do wish there was a quicker way.

You would have to click each hidden item, but as you click it filters out of the report. So, you can keep your cursor in one spot.

Go to the reports tab, click on grouped by takeoff, click on columns, search for 'Hidden' then filter the column: Then you can just click the icon in the report to unhide takeoffs. I created/save...

I was just talking to someone at my company about exactly this today!

You can 'Duplicate As...' a cutout. I guess I would like it if I could drag and drop a takeoff to a cutout and have it fill that cutout.

Also, noticing with this drawing that zzTakeoff doesn't like cutouts within cutouts within cutouts.

I think being able to move and/or duplicate takeoff sections from one layer to another via right click menu would be huge.

Thank you!! I see some of the inside track features from the 'Ready to Test: Auto Count, Auto Scale, Permissions & Roles, Locking, Plugins, and more' post are live now.

Auto Count is working great. I really like the ability to add an example to the existing auto count. That is really slick, but I only randomly stumbled upon it. A couple things about it: One thing ...

Active Layer vs Visible LayersI like the second screen shot. Copy / Paste ExampleI think it should paste to the current active layer. We are currently using layers for managing estimate breakouts ...

It would be pretty sweet to be able to drag various panes/boxes/windows outside of the zztakeoff browser window and have it open a new pop out (pop-up?) window with just that pane/box/window. Not l...

I get spurts of normal operation, but then get lag again.

It would be cool if you were able to drag the preview window to the edge of your browser and pull it out to a new browser window/tab.

I have not noticed it, but that might be because the auto scale on document upload feature was removed.

Yes, working as it was. Thanks!

Yeah, I was trying to conceptualize how this one would work too. I'm not sure how others are handling these situations, but I often have at least a few takeoff that are like this: I'm really only...
