Parametric “Count by Centres” Tool (Linear Item Quantification)

Under Review

Introduce a Count by Centers tool that allows users to quantify repetitive linear elements (e.g. balustrade posts, handrail brackets, fence posts, mullions, fixings) at nominated centres along a drawn polyline.

The tool should:

  • Allow user-defined spacing (e.g. 1000mm Centers )
  • Allow user to draw a linear path (including corners)
  • Option for corner click to add 2 points
  • Automatically generate a count at each nominated Centers
  • Provide options to include/exclude start and end items
  • Evenly distribute intermediate items where required
  • Prevent spacing from exceeding the nominated maximum (optional mode)


This functionality is essential for accurate and efficient quantification of balustrades and similar elements.
