I would love to see an Advanced Templates for painting. As easy as you make it seem. I still have a hard time doing data entry to make it all make sense. This is something I would pay for as a tutorial.
Hi Atlanta, Your videos are incredibly clear and helpful. Can you do a video on issuing reports, specifically on how to break down by drawing page? Thank you so much!
We may get into reports in a future video, we don't currently use reports as we export to Excel and use that for reporting. We will get to that this year, I just don't have a specific date yet. Thanks.
i have a lot of takeoffs but i wanted to see which drawings they were taken off from. can you add a column to the estimating tab to show the reference drawing numbers?
Hi can you help me please. I am trying to auto height the text box area on a division template. Example : if I have 40 lines it runs into the next division unless I manually drag the box down in report designer. Your help
hello. estmator take off is locked by planswift. we cant edit there. normal estimation side , additional items can be added and it is ok. for take off while exporting to excel, we cant edit the takeoff data
Trying to build a demo assembly for roof tear off. I started with a area demo template and dropped in concrete per yd to switch over to the dumpster usage. It seems to work but it doesnt display the thickness choices when I go to digitize. How do you make the custom templates add in the selection drop boxes from the parts you bring into them? Thanks
In my case for concrete demo, I select or enter the slab thickness as part of the parent template. Then, I take another template, like say cutting, make a field that is will pull the thickness from the parent. Once I’ve indented this template under the first, it becomes the child and I can edit the formula to link to the slab thickness field in the parent. Easier than it sounds. Make sure you use a relative link, not exact. Now, you can save this to your Templates tab and anytime you use the parent, it will fill in for the child or a series of child templates. That way, you’re always entering a unique value in one time when using this assembly. And, if you change the value in the parent, it automatically changes in the children.
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.
Within the estimating tab is there a way to hide different parts of the takeoff automatically. When Im estimating and getting numbers for my framing, I do not want to see the numbers I have for the drywall
Good question. You can hide specific columns by right clicking on the header. You simply uncheck any columns you want to hide. Another way would be to create a secondary price field which only calculates the framing price and can also be a column choice, then hide the default price column.
Can we take mortar qty automated with respect to qty of block?? I have see sumwhere with the quantity of block it gives total cement sand required with ratio
Not being a masonry estimator I would say yes. It’s really just creating a formula and sticking it in a calculated field. If you can create the formula or expression, it could work. I’m logged in under my other account apparently. This is Atlanta Estimator.
Good question. I don’t yet have an opinion on 11. I know they have been working on compatibility issues with Windows 11 but haven’t heard much more. I was a Beta tester several years ago and can tell you that new releases are like new shoes, takes some getting used to. I plan on doing a “new features and bugs” video once I’ve had a few days to shake 11 out.
You have lots of experience to use this software but we need your help in this software about activation its not activated how to fix it please show us the way..
We’ve fixed most of the audio issues, hope you rewatch this one and is better. Please leave me any ideas for future episodes in the comments. We have no sponsors so appreciate you subscribing to the channel. See you next time.
@@Sajjad_Khalid pricing methods are as plentiful as there are birds in the sky. Each discipline has it's own method and each company their own way. There are books (cost data) that show pricing based on historical data but that's about the best you can do. I will go over this more in Episode 9 of our current series.
Thank you very much for sharing this great información. If you can help me with the formula, I'll be so happy. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. if ('[Hand Removal]'=true) then Result := 'HAND' else Result := 'MACHINE'

@@muhammaduzairrana6441 I am sure there are videos on RUclips, I don't have any yet. It does take some time to learn it. Will make a basics video on this once I have completed this course.

There is a plug in called Export By Page. Not really a report, but it exports your takeoff by drawing into excel.
Thanks alot, keep upload these videos, one of the best channel to learn qs by planswift
Appreciate that. We have no sponsors. We do this for our subscribers.

Hi, is there any Add on Plug in for Duct take off quantity
estimation
I don’t shop for plug ins, so couldn’t tell you for sure. I’ve been developing my own templates for 17 years now and just never needed any. Good luck.

Awesome videos, very informal. Question, would this formula also work for brick?
I have templates for masonry that include brick or CMU block so mostly, I would say yes.
The thickness of the area is being multiplied by the system as feet, not inches. Could you please explain this to me?
Hi.. amazing Video... Can you please make a video in preparing a customized report
Hi Atlanta,
Can you please do a video regarding" Events " on the advanced properties.
