Sort Plans inside a Project
24d 18h
I made (Claude did) a plugin that makes that directly from zzTakeoff. Will dive into making a comparison if Claude integration is enough (first thing I think of is the usage) or the plugin is a bes...
Takeoff Summary
24d 18h
My bad. I didn't showed you the whole configuration. For the multilevel breakdown I use the following:This will only work if you have the breakdwon using folders in the takeoff tab. If you work ano...
Takeoff Summary
25d 18h
You can do it even better. In the "Plugin Store" you can install the "Report Creator Tool".Once installed, you go to "Report" tab, now you will have the option to access this tool beside the "Undoc...
Stamp Tool for Stamping Images on Pages
26d 18h
Are these going to be the only options available or there will be "Custom" options?
Print Size Options
33d 2h
What I do is that in the destination option, instead of "Save as PDF" I select "Bluebeam PDF", that way I can have the arch pages sizes available.
Calculatiing material on two different but similar items
38d 20h
It seems you have "Round to the Nearest" rule applied. That might roundup your quantities and that's why the total is giving more than when you manually estimate them.
How are you adding plan revisions?
53d 0h
Before you upload a new set you can select the "Revision Plan Set" option. You can select rather if you want to "Copy", "Move", or "Do Nothing" with all the annotations and takeoffs you might have ...
Weekend Warriors in Developer Mode!
61d 22h
@Kyle As Heber mentions, I used AI to configure the component the first time. Below is an example of the current flow when you change projects.
Weekend Warriors in Developer Mode!
72d 18h
Finally had some spare time to play around with the dev mode plugins and components. A few weeks ago I generated a 3D model with Claude for my markups. Now I can just go straight from zzTakeoff usi...
Manual Takeoff
84d 3h
You can lock the templates so you an avoid changing them by mistake. If you go to the Templates List Dropdown you will see 3-dots button, in there you can lock all the templates from your list, unt...
Overlay Revision Set vs page per page
94d 3h
I think like an option to acces the overlay view (shown when you upload a revision set) any time is required will be very useful.
Parent/Child Function

Shortcut to Reference Same Property from Parent: [..]Reference a Property from Parent [../Some Property]Reference a Property from Grandparent [../../Some Property]Reference a Property from a Siblin...
Power Users Please Reply
118d 19h
Well, I use linear with Wall Height to get Veneer Wall Areas. Also, I use the count to get opening deduction for openings per schedule (windows, doors, storefronts, etc...). I convert them into ite...
3D Modeling from takeoff
135d 21h
Yes, it's really great. The prompt I used is from another person from this community who shared it with me in another post, Kyle Bonde. "Please make a 3D model of this page in HTML. Only do what i...
Using multiple TakeOffs at the same time.
138d 0h
I think you refer something similar to what OST haves. Unfortunately I think we have no option in zz yet for this. But, if it works, instead of re-measuring what I do is to make one of the measures...
Resolution Quality
142d 23h
zz doesn't work directly with PDF files, while bluebeam does. zz exports the PDF files into images, that's the reason for the difference in resolution quality.
Items Linked to Products
171d 21h
In that case, so yes, the formula is the solution. At least I think so. First you'll need to configure "Cost Each" as a formula input.Once that is done, you will have to prepare the formula that wi...
Items Linked to Products
171d 23h
You mean the description name? If so, you have to configure it as "Text with Tags" in the configure button that appears when you pass the cursor near it.Once you have it configured this way you wil...
Batch Page Configuration
199d 0h
Yes, I mean DPI option. When all the pages are in the same file, it gives me the option for the whole set. When the set is divided in files per page, the configuration must be page by page, at leas...
Batch Page Configuration
199d 2h
No, all the pages are the same size. Maybe I'm just missing something. Cause I'm only able to configure page by page.
Negative Measurements
199d 19h
I work a lot with openings. So I had to look for a way to take negative measurments. In the past what I did is taking a linear/segment takeoff with height. You see, I discovered a way to "cheat" th...
SCALE: Page Regions
237d 1h
I think he means something like the "Viewport" option in bluebeam, which allows you to select a region from a page, this region will have a different scale from the page as required. For example, I...
Project status
244d 23h
In the meantime an alternate is to create a custom property applicable to projects including all the statuses you mention.
Products
249d 18h
I think you can add a custom property applicable for items. If you go to the setting tab (click in your user icon). The last option "Custom Property". There you can add a New Property and configure...
Multiple Plan Revisions
250d 19h
Thank you. After checking the video and making a couple more tests I was able to do it correctly. One last question. Is there any way to configure how my outdated versions will be seen by default. ...
