Buildsoft has released a new update to Cubit Estimating, with version 10.1.1. See details of the enhancements and fixes below.
Enhancements
Windows and Doors
Autocount
By default, Autocount will be set to Manual Selection; so if you’ve selected an Item with a Window Count or Door Count Result set, the window or door will be inserted into that Item.
If you have an Item from your Estimate selected that does not have a Result of Window Count or Door Count, you will be prompted to use Autocount to insert that Item into an appropriate Trade.
Other Improvements
We’ve also improved hiding Windows and Doors when using the Eye icon in the Shapes pane and when you select a Window or Door from the Viewport, the corresponding Item from the Calculation Sheet is selected.
We have also improved what happens when you update the details for a Door or Window, including when you edit the Name and Manufacturer.
The Openings window now uses a natural numeric sort, so you can better organise your openings.
Improvements
- We have improved the Ruler when opening a Job in Read-Only, so you can set the Size and Colour of the line in the Viewport.
- We have improved Importing Excel files into Cubit Estimating, so Items with only a Description will be included when Skip empty rows is checked.
- We have updated the Cubit Select shortcuts to send you directly to cubitselect.com, instead of redirecting you from mybartender.co.
- We have improved how Auto Select works for round shapes, so your takeoff will be more accurate for any ellipse spaces.
- We have improved the Cubit Estimating Management Console, so now when restoring a Backup file, you can select to Clear and Restore.
- We have added a new setting in Cubit Options, Return to previous selection when closing Find that, by default, will be checked.
