In your estimate make a line that has a zero cost or quantity to change color

Right now in Takeoff Mode the lines are a different color to show that nothing has been estimated for that line. When you are looking at your estimate the color does not change if you don't have a quantity or cost in the line. This would be very beneficial on bid day when you are getting down to the wire and you could easily see what you have missed.  Timberline Estimating changes to a blue color if you don't have a cost or quantity in the line.

    This issue just cost us $4500 because I missed a line that had a zero sum in it. Now we have the project and the plumbing is not covered. This needs to happen.
