Your number 5 would be huge. Snapshots with variance reports between snapshots to tell the story of the project along the design/construction.

I wish there were a course, showcase, or something for how it's being used for workflow things (not plugin creation) so I can get some help convincing my company to pay for my Claude subscription. ...

This is working beautifully and exactly how I envisioned it for area takeoffs. I really like the visual feed back of the line changing color, but it doesn't automatically change back when you relea...

If this were to be brought to areas and linear takeoffs I think having these new nodes would need to be something other than diamonds or the arc node would be something different. If memory serves ...

I love the idea and am excited for it to come to the main application. A couple questions: Are these user profile specific or company profile specific?I would like to use the same hot key for merge...

That's how we do it, and I wouldn't recommend doing it another way if you want to maintain some sort of trail to follow. I think this is one of the last few big development hurdles zzTakeoff could...

Yeah, I'm slowly getting close to that limit as well.

I made a similar request in this post. Sounds like zzTakeoff is aware there needs to be some workflow adjustments with Layers, Revision Sets, etc. and are actively working on solutions.

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.
