measurements

Post by RHowell »

I've been trying out your software and like many of the features.
I use it quite a bit now for Plan take-offs.

When I measure around a room, I have to stop and start again several times.
Is there a short cut key or something, that would allow me to move over doorways, corridors and not add that distance?

I'm also looking for a count feature.
Example, label certain items and be able to get the count..

Hello RHowell,

I am afraid that the PDF specification does not allow you to have a measurement with "gaps" in it - so you will need to make them as separate smaller measurements.

As for the "counter" feature - try opening the comments pane (Ctrl-M) - and group the comments there by the available criteria - e.g. by Colour - and you will see the total number of comments with that same colour counted for you.

Regards,
Stefan
