[UPDATED OCT 2021] Quantifier - Potentially serious issue relating to take offs/deductions from wall

Firstly, regarding the adverts on YouTube, this is a complete surprise to me and should not be happening. Can you please provide the link to the video you saw on our mind.sight.studios channel that has adverts? Perhaps the video got incorrectly flagged for copyright violation and YT is forcing ads. This is definitely not our intent to advertise on our training videos!

Secondly, the problem with holes in Quantifier Pro is highly complex. There is a solution provided here, although I understand the solution may not be ideal for everyone:

We do still hope to improve this in a future update, and I am sorry that it has taken so long for this to be improved.

For rectangular prismatic walls and simple rectangular holes, it does not seem so complex a problem…but when you consider that Profile Builder is designed to support any shape of profile, any shape of hole with any orientation, I hope you can understand why this is not a simple fix for us.

Over the years, we have noticed that that Profile Builder is being used extensively by our users to create simple walls. We did not know this would be the case when we designed the plugin. We thought it would be used more to model elements such as lumber, steel members, and other objects where it is not very important to account for the reduction in area from holes. Now that we know that it is used so much for walls, I agree that we need to make these types of fixes a higher priority.

I appreciate your interest in our products and willingness to put in the effort to learn them in detail.
