The system automatically refreshes all data retrieved every 5 minutes from the MC including project names, parts, sections, and MC-T names every. However, if you notice missing information, click this button
Refresh data received from MC to retrieve the latest MC updates.
Use the three dropdown menus to select the project name, part, and section to measure.
Clicking a document's name opens a PDF preview in a separate tab attached to the black ribbon inside the console. Checking the box next to the document selects it as the document to measure.
When retrieving documents for measurement, if multiple files share the same name on Dropbox, a popup may appear. In such cases, please rename the files in Dropbox, then return to the console and click the following icon:
to retrieve the updated documents. You can then select the desired document for measurement. Please note that this process will refresh all documents in the selected project folder.
Upon selecting a plan, the console automatically downloads the PDF with a colored rectangle. Open it in Foxit Reader, Adobe, or Bluebeam to measure its area and perimeter in the desired metric unit.
Enter these values in the provided textboxes. A dropdown next to each textbox lets you choose between meters (m) or millimeters (mm) for accurate scaling.
This rectangle serves as a scale check for Bluebeam. Refer to the relevant section for further details.
Click Add Key Information button to open a popup where you can input additional details to assist in the detection process.
The right panel displays results in three sections:
A preview of the measured plan, which you can click to expand.
Three buttons:
– Access the Google Sheet legend.
– Opens the marked-up PDF in Dropbox.
This icon button allows you to get the deleted markups (in case you deleted any from the pdf on dropbox).
Any markup that you deem unnecessary in the pdf can be removed. After deleting any markup, the console will notify you with a message asking whether you would like to delete it from legend or not and the legend will be updated accordingly.
To open the Google sheet with the created legend, first click the button labeled "Legend and Data created." Names of each shape should go in the first column of the sheet labeled ‘Guess’.
Ex. GB-1.
Then, return to this page, the ADR Console, to finish entering the remaining data after you have finished entering the guessed names in the legend.
Three dropdown menus are present.
You can select the type of the shape from the first dropdown:
e.g. (1.0 Substructure) Ground Beam or Pile Cap. Refer to the relevant section for more details.
In the second dropdown, you will find a list of MC-T Names. Choose Accordingly.
The third dropdown menu has the unit of the MC-T Name you have chosen.
Note: If the unit was (m), choose whether you wish to extract perimeter or length data from the third selection.
The following row contains a dropdown and two text boxes:
First field: A dropdown that allows you to choose a guessed name from the ones you wrote in the Google sheet legend (first column)
Second field: Text field: Enter Specification
Third field: Text field: Enter depth
You can add/ subtract rows by using the + and - button.
Entries within the same block correspond to the chosen MC-T name.
You can add another block and repeat the process for another item by clicking the button next to "Measure using ADR".
Rows in the same block having the same depth will be grouped together. (E.g. Guessed_Name_1 + Guessed_Name_2 , Specification, Depth)
Please measure both the area and perimeter accurately for this section, as the system relies on both values.
You can measure multiple levels independently using the checkbox labeled "Leveled plan" under the "Scale document" heading.
How to Use It:
Check the "Leveled plan" checkbox. This will open a new tab displaying a preview image of the selected PDF.
Draw any irregular shape (linear only) around the items you want to define as a separate level. Click to add points and outline the shape.
You can change the drawing color using the color palette located below the image.
Click the "Draw New Shape" button to start drawing a new shape.
Use the "Undo" button to remove the last line or shape you drew.
All shapes drawn in the same color indicate that the items inside belong to the same level. Different colors represent different levels.
Leave the checkbox unchecked if you want to measure the entire plan. Check it only if you want to measure specific areas or if the plan is divided into levels.
When you're done, click the Save button at the bottom of the page to save your drawing with the defined levels.
Return to the console and click the green "Measure using ADR" button.

This algorithm is designed to retrieve door information from schedule files and map it onto the corresponding plan. The extracted data includes:
Door ID/Number
Door Type
Structural Opening (Width × Height)
This version of the algorithm offers the following capabilities:
Grouping Similar Door Types
Identifies and groups similar door types.
Assigns a unique color to each group for better visualization.
Exports grouped doors to Bluebeam as count-type annotations.
Adding Annotations to Bluebeam’s Author Column
Automatically fills Bluebeam’s Author column with the width and height in the format: "X mm wide × Y mm high" (e.g., 900 mm wide × 2100 mm high).
Detecting Repeated Door IDs
Reports any duplicate Door IDs found in the schedule.
Verifying Door Presence on the Plan
Reports doors listed in the schedule but not found on the plan.
Input the Plan File
Project
Project Parts

Document to Measure
Load the Schedule File
Select the schedule file from "Other Relevant Documents".
Add Key Information
Enter the desired column names in the following order:
Door ID
Door Type
Structural Opening
If the structural opening is in a single column, enter the full column name.
If it's split into two sub-columns, enter them separately:
Width
Height

This algorithm is designed to measure floor finishes on floor plans by detecting each shape individually and calculating its area and perimeter.
Steps to Use:
Open AutoCAD and import the PDF that was automatically downloaded when you checked the "Document to be measured" checkbox.
When the pop-up window appears in AutoCAD, make sure the following options are selected:
PDF Data to Import:
Vector geometry (Solid Fills)
TrueType text
Layers: Use PDF Layers
Import Options:
Convert solid fills to hatches
Apply line weight properties
Upload the generated DXF file to the console.
Input only the measured perimeter. Area is not required in this section.
Output Notes
Download the output PDF file using the blue download icon located below the image preview.
Open the downloaded PDF in Bluebeam.
Set the scale in Bluebeam by navigating to Tools → Measure → Set Scale.
Once the scale is set, all annotations will appear and automatically update in the measurement column, along with their corresponding labels.
Important: This section only works properly if the PDF was originally created in AutoCAD.
Double-check that all required options are selected in AutoCAD’s import pop-up. If something is missing, markups may appear as X shapes.
This algorithm is designed to measure ceiling finishes in ceiling plans by detecting each shape individually and calculating its area and perimeter.

Set the scale in Bluebeam by navigating to Tools → Measure → Set Scale.
Once the scale is set, all annotations will appear and dynamically update in the measurement column along with their corresponding labels.

Warning!
The console updates projects retrieved from Dropbox automatically at 9:00 am and 9:00 p.m. If you need to access any projects in between, just click on this button. Please note that it will refresh the files related to the project you chose only.
Enter the title for the column as it will be shown in Bluebeam columns. This helps organize and categorize extracted information.
For the first entry (first row), please add the Door Type in here.
Provide a word or phrase from the data you want to help detect relevant information in the drawing.
Set the number of characters that is expected to be captured. This helps refine the extraction by limiting or expanding the detected text.
