thank you for taking time to teach us ! great videos! can you make a video about wall height? i always have problems when doing a take off to find the height of new walls specially interiors. exterior i can almost always see the heigh in elevation drawings, but interior partition i find it hard to figure it out.

Hello sir,i just want to ask if possible to import excel formula into planswift?
@bourbonriders2 ай бұрын
PlanSwift does not use Excel formulas but the construct is similar I believe. I use Pascal for my If Then Else arguments. You can import Excel into PlanSwift but that’s something I’m no expert at.

Months of on and off Googling for some additional resources to help learn about estimating and this is the ONLY learning material I've found outside of the subtle (yet still fake) articles that end up just being advertisements for some digital takeoff software... I started as a PE in heavy civil construction for a GC and then transitioned to PE then PM for a GC in commercial construction, & have just recently (roughly 15 months ago) moved into our estimating department. It's been fun but I feel as if the learning curve is steep while not getting enough actual practice to improve as quickly as I would like to. I just wanted to say that you taking the time to put ANYTHING together to help others trying to learn is much appreciated.

hi, when i have a takeoff from template (with sub-item) , copy & paste in this case is not completed , only takeoff item coped & pasted without its sub itemes , do u have anexplane for that ?
@atlantaestimator6 ай бұрын
When I copy a takeoff item, all the takeoff must be visible to copy. Only those visible will copy to a new area. If you have calculated sub items that are NOT takeoff items, they should recalc with the new calculated values. You do have to hit the REFRESH icon in the Estimating window sometimes for those calculations to revise. Best I can tell you without seeing your takeoff.

Thinking of using segment take offs for anchor bolts parts. Typical would be (segment length/6)+2. 6 is spacing and +2 for starting and end bolt with a round down function. Does this seem right to you?
@atlantaestimator7 ай бұрын
It seems like that would divide each segment by 6 and add 2. I would try this in a new calculated field and see if you get the results you want. Then, enter that new field name into your QTY field so you keep it clean for multiplying the unit price. I tend to make a separate calculated field rather than make formulas in the QTY field. The advantage is that you can copy that field to any other item or even templates that you save.

If it’s a Segment, not a Linear, click on the segment and either backspace or delete should only erase one segment, not the entire takeoff.
