Bluebeam includes a visual search tool that allows you to highlight a specific callout or symbol and search the entire plan set for matching items. You can then review each instance and assign point counts if they are relevant. This tool is particularly helpful as a back-check for your takeoff, ensuring every instance of a callout is identified. However, since callouts can sometimes be duplicated in plan sets, it’s important to have the flexibility to decide whether to include each instance in your takeoff. Implementing a similar feature would be very helpful if possible.
Good idea. Our general approach with AI will be to super-charge the estimator's abilities, and ensure the estimator has an easy way to review what the AI has done to ensure accuracy. Lots of opportunities in this area.
I believe this would be some variant of an "Auto Count" feature. I agree, from the electrical standpoint, this would be very very helpful.
