Workflows that apply
Fixture counts and pipe lengths
Counts and lengths at the sheet’s scale, totalled by subject, space or layer; export to Excel.
Takeoff and estimating →Tags against the schedule
The drawing checks compare fixture tags on the plans with the plumbing fixture schedule.
Drawing checks →Riser review
Markups with statuses on riser diagrams, and RFIs pinned to the spot.
Markup and review →An example from our sample set
On the sample Lakeside plumbing sheets, the drawing checks find tag LAV-2 on P-102, which the plumbing fixture schedule doesn’t list; the Count tool and symbol search total the fixtures per floor.
Our sample sets are generated, fictional drawings made for demonstrations.
