We’ve heard May, but when in May is up in the air.
Luke Prescott is coming on to the MCR on the 21st, so maybe we’ll know more then

I’ve had some issues with the Word Plugin.
Other than that though, nothing outrageous.

I have had none of those issues, but I’m on the MAX Beta.
Not seeing them from other member of my team either. -

I feel you.
Two things I HATE doing. Window Sills and Baseboard. Both very time consuming. Might be something to try when the AI gets better.
When I do these on large scale projects I tend to only do one of each unit type.
Then with two custom columns, Floor Multiplier and Quantity, that will get me close enough for all that I need to take off.I will also do any odd or custom rooms on their own.
You can also copy/ paste like rooms. And mirror them. Not perfect, but it helps. Any minor adjustments can be made along the way.
I agree with Troy on this, don’t worry about your door openings. Let that be your waste. You’re going to order your base in 16 – 20′ lengths anyways, you’ll be covered.
Anyways, hope this was helpful.

I use the Headers and Footers feature to add a Tag already, so that is one way to do it en masse

probably the same technique though.
Placing a Custom Tag and then a Custom sorting Template.
I made one for one of our customers that broke down the drawings by their nomenclature

I doubt I would ever suspect the software if a keystroke wasn’t working. I’d be wondering what was up with my keyboard.Good to know though.

Its a problem with all the finishing trades. There isn’t a easy solution for any of our takeoffs

I can deal with that in PQ 😉

I do. I use that for the Drawing package.
For this particular template, they use those codes as a prefix to their drawings labels, so it picks it up from the page label.

They made this available in 18.1 or something.
