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. 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.

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 Way outdated: No 4K monitor support, very old looking interface, only available for Windows.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. Terrible customer service! I usually call and have to leave a message and someone might get back to me in 24-48 hours. Every single nut, bolt, box of screws, rebar, rolls of house wrap, etc. Other than a handful of bids that we send out for, we estimate the entire home for each client. The tools to build parts and assemblies are extremely extensive and haven't found anything we can't do. It's extremely in-depth and you can do almost anything you can imagine. Lots of really powerful features, but it's really outdated and lacking some modern cloud syncing features and others talked about in the Cons list. Like the title says, it's a love/hate relationship.
As well as the customer service which was poor." icon "The Auto count tool never worked.I usually call and have to leave a message and someone might get back to me in 24-48 hours." icon "The other downside for me was that I had to have my computer rebuilt, and the PlanSwift files were stored in a place on my computer that is not routinely copied when an IT tech rebuilds the computer.".The way it allows me to organize my take-off is fantastic." Took a bit of time to get used to all of the tools but is very useful now."
