Report for Labor Durations

It’s also very helpful to respond. Todd just Google zztakeoff reviews. Read the ai overview. It picks up one of your videos comparing zz to stack and suggests a watch. if there was no counter narra...

Metric & Imperial

Hi lorin I haven’t had a chance to test it fully. I did notice the ability to output imperial units when scaling in metric, but I didn’t realize I was able to select imperial for a metric scale se...
Pages (left pane) Drawing Sort by discipline. (Grey Folders on Left Screen)
185d 13h
i like it. would be cool to temporarily sort by different variables ex. area in a building and group Arch Mech and Plumbing drawings for same section of a building. or being able to create custom...
Subtotal Row
189d 7h
i think you’ll find what you’re looking for playing around with it but if you put layer first it helps a lot so you still have a total total and below you can keep grouping! try layers then your cu...
Subtotal Row

I’ve found it very helpful to put layer first in group by. this will clearly show totals on the top row and depending on what else you’ve got you can usually find what you’re looking for. it will j...

Custom properties question
191d 11h
Thanks Lorin. i want to add this functionality, but I’m a little afraid to break something and not notice. inherit mode works great on custom properties, but I’ve noticed it will break if I select ...
is text mode even necessary? text with tags with no tags performs the same no?
192d 3h
fair point even if its not nixed i vote the default mode be text with tags. or create the ability to set our own defaults. thanks Heber
Updating the cost of a product will update its price on all items that it was applied to on the current project
192d 11h
this can be done now very efficiently from the reports tab on any takeoff.. and i just thought of a decent workaround for now for anyone that is looking for a quick way to update your templates. ...
Metric & Imperial
194d 4h
Beau, I totally understand the frustration. For Canadian work, metric drawings with imperial materials is a headache, and this feature really matters. That said, I’ve found the ZZ team unusually re...

When you say next update, do you mean next major update, or is this coming somewhat soon?
Separate out takeoffs by area
195d 5h
There are a few ways to approach this, but the simplest option is usually in the Reports tab. If your drawings don’t overlap between the areas you’re trying to separate, you can break the takeoff o...
Takeoff Multiplier
198d 1h
i appreciate the foresight in blocking multiplier as a property Page level multiplier would for sure be very useful, but I forsee it would be awesome to have both. I would love to have a takeoff le...
Takeoff Multiplier

i dunno ive been debating adding a custom property called multiplier and having the default setting as 1 then have my formula ("formula") * [multiplier] for each item in my takeoff. as long as its ...

199d 5h
Alternatively, you could do this with three separate linear takeoffs, each counting one panel every 24". If you know which panel the pattern starts with, you can stagger the starting point of each ...
How to Calculate Quantities for 4"-8"-12" Variegated Metal Panels
199d 5h
You’re very welcome. I mostly just hack my way through things and gradually improve whatever I’ve built. I’m lucky that a lot of my work is fairly repetitive, so I can keep refining the same templa...
