Medeek Wall Plugin Tutorial 28 - Estimating Preview

[@ArtisanTony]

Just a suggestion, if there is a way for it to combine the walls into one list. In other words , all the studs for selected walls and so on. Having the individual wall quantities causes a little bit of work on the tail end. There is a trap in estimating, and I have done it for a very long time, where you get caught up more in formatting than estimating :) I haven't seen any tool so far than can beat the speed of me doing it by hand with my own templates. After years of estimating you come up with rules of thumb that are pretty accurate and allow you to skip all of the formatting in spreadsheets. But of course experience is the key there. For someone who is not experienced at estimating and needs some type of tool, this is great. Thanks for continuing to develop your extensions. I believe many would not have lasted as long as you have and they go by the wayside after a few years :) I tend to shy away from extensions for this reason because you tend to develop your workflow around them and then they get abandoned but you have been very consistent and it is appreciated.

Mr Wilkerson...............any update on this estimate plugin????

[@HBSuccess]

Good start but you definitely need better reporting namely consolidating ea material type. A wall by wall report would have no value for me… I need to know what goes on the PO.

Please download and try Version 2.8.1.
