Calculated Column - ability to create a column that is stored only on the report (not on the items) and calculates on the fly.Sort & group the data any way you want, and save pre-built "Views" Reporting: Greatly enhanced reporting capabilities.Automatic units conversions - Enter values in IN, FT, M, CM, or any measurement type and it gets automatically gets converted.Modify item properties directly from the estimating screen.Each estimating assembly or formula can be "inherited" to other similar items allowing powerful plugins to be created with "Smart" functionality while digitizing. Object oriented estimating (with Object Inheritance): We are introducing a new concept here.Database Integration: Link PlanSwift to any existing ADO compatible database (including Excel, SQL Server, MS Access) for Price Lists, Customer Lists, etc.Database integration: Ability to create custom lists (example: Items, Customers, Divisions, etc.) that can be linked to database.Hover navigation: Hover over arrows (up, down, left, right) to pan around the page (perfect for touch screens too) Dock or undock tabs and move to additional monitors
Open multiple images at the same time.overall the software feels more like a "browser" for blueprint images, with powerful capabilities. Folder structure for images: Now the user can group images in folders, such as "Architectural", "Structural", "Civil", etc.Click hyperlinks on the page to either navigate to a URL or function as a bookmark to another page Multi-select capability - hold SHIFT or CTRL to select multiple items.New docking system - (windows don't get lost).New "Notes" e all notes on the job in 1 place.
(Expression) This is a value to be rounded. This method of rounding is often called "Bankers Rounding". If X is exactly halfway between two whole numbers (X.5), the result is always the even number. Returns a number of the value rounded to the nearest whole number. This is a numeric value to be raised to e. Returns e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to a power. Returns the square root of a number: the numeric value to find square root value of. Returns a number squared: the numeric value to be squared. Will return the Hypotenuse of a right angle. This example could be used to find the area of a circle. Will pick a random color each time you create a new item. It's good for Assemblies to have sum of that property in () on all sub parts. Gives you a sum of all sub item or children items under that parent item for example: will give you the sum of all sub-items under that item. Gives you the path of the PlanSwift.exe file. Gives you the path to the folder the item is located in. They are children's of sections, which do not have Units('Takeoff') specified. If the parent item is a Linear then the result would be FT.įor Labels must be. Gives you the parent item's Takeoff property Units, so you can specify the parent item !Units of ('PropertyName')Įxample will give you SQ FT if the parent item is an Area. works as well if you need the grandparent's same property name. Will get the parent's property with the same property name. Will give you the property of the parent of the parent item. Will get the parent item's property name.Įxample: will give you the parent item's property. Will create the current time when the item was created. Will create the current date when the item was created. Go into Advanced Properties on a item you want the formula on. This will give you some examples of formulas that can be used.
