Current issues in scrolling through the data and entire screen scrolling with your search scroll

Reviewed 7 years ago

There are a few things that make this program very frustrating to work with. The biggest issue is trying to scroll through the data after you search for something.

Pros

Cons

The ease of use when developing estimates and square foot models is lacking, and could use some revisions to allow for more functionality. It would be nice if in the square foot model you could adjust the quantity without having to swap an assembly, and it would be good to also have the ability to delete multiple line items at a time when revising the model to best fit the building application.
