and will allow you to work on multiple jobs at same time (P.S. But most all the others are faster than P.S. Most do not have a joist tool or hip/valley intelligence and many other features Planswift has. I decided to go shopping, there are tons of in screen programs out there but if you want takeoff with legends to be able to efficiently convey that fancy estimate you spent hours and days putting together to a team on the forld, there are very few that do it well. I went to an excel guru with estimating background and after just several hours we were both unsure of how we were to make chicken salad out of the fodder. So, I started to look into composing better spreadsheet design do compensate. When this would happen, excel was unable to recover my progress in that worksheet. I also noticed it would crash more often than I find reasonable and will also crash excel when open even if not using Planswift at the time. Well, now I have a computer that could animate for Pixar yet Planswift still shows me its hourglass mocking the value of my time. I would mostly get silence from customer support when making that comment, it seemed odd but I didn't put much thought into it and just kept upgrading hardware on my PC to compensate. I complained about how slow the program would get after just a few hours of measurements, especially when using a lot of joint tool and overlays. My number one issue with plan swift is the code. Its a rather incredible concept but some of the tools like hip/valley tool, comparative overlay and auto count don't work properly. The program has a lot of bells and whistles with so many custom options. Overall:В I've been a Planswift user for last 8 years. I ran out of room to type so I must stop here. For all of our assemblies, we were able to link the 'Cost Each' back to the original part's 'Cost Each' through a file path. Price changes on parts are not reflected in current jobs unless you manually go in and change it. You have to use a $200 plugin that basically adds a search and replace function.

For instance, by default, if I update a price in the parts list it doesn't reflect that price update in any instance of the part used on an assembly. There is no automatic association between a part in a parts list and the same part in an assembly. We just can't be in the same job at the same time or it might get errors. Again, we set up a cloud system using Google Drive local sync and it works well.

#PLANSWIFT COM HOW TO#

We ended up figuring out how to utilize a cloud platform to sync up all changes to our parts and assemblies across computers and it now works now. for a while we had to manually do this in each computer. If there is a change in pricing, adding parts, building assemblies, etc. No built-in cloud syncing between computers. Way outdated: No 4K monitor support, very old looking interface, only available for Windows.

They don't seem to know their software well either as we were able to figure out things that they said wasn't possible. Cons:В Terrible customer service! I usually call and have to leave a message and someone might get back to me in 24-48 hours.
