How to count items on a plan

1 min read Updated

Use the Count tool to tally doors, light fittings, switches and power outlets or any symbol on a plan. Click each item once and a marker drops on it, so you can see what you have counted. Keep separate groups for different items.

Step by step

  1. 1Choose Count in the tool list.
  2. 2Click each item on the plan once. A marker is left on every item you count.
  3. 3Watch the running total as you go.
  4. 4Keep each kind of item in its own group, for example light fittings in one and power outlets in another.

Tips

  • Markers show what is done, so you will not count the same symbol twice.
  • Clear a marker that landed in the wrong spot and the total updates.
  • Use layers to keep each item type separate.
