Before using this tool, kindly read the following.

Note : The algorithm is based on detecting shapes and colors from the plan. Some shapes such as tables and textboxes carrying plan-related information, may also be viewed as shapes and so added to the algorithm. To avoid this, please tidy up the plan before choosing to measure it, by using an external tool to either erase them or to put a white rectangle over them.

The tool is divided into two main parts:

First Part

- Inputs:
There are three dropdowns available that will allow you to select the name of the project you wish to measure, along with the project part, and the project section.

Please make sure the “Project Section” you select is correct because it will affect the code that will be applied to the plan.

Mark the project from the "To measure" section that you want to measure. Additionally, you have the ability to view any relevant documents you might need in Dropbox.(optional).
* Pixel to Metric conversion important notes : Once you have selected a specific plan to measure, you will be provided with a pdf with a colored rectangle drawn in it. Please open this PDF in Foxit Reader, Adobe, or any software that will allow you to measure shapes on a plan, and measure the given shape’s area and perimeter in the desired metric unit, then input those values in the textboxes that will be shown below the relevant documents. For the ease of conversion of metric units, you will find a dropdown with ‘m’ or ‘mm’ next to each textbox. This will allow the code to understand the ratio between the pixels to the metric unit you chose.
You may think of this rectangle's measurement as a scale check for Bluebeam.

* Notes for section 1.0 measurement (Section 3.2 does not yet support this feature): You can measure several levels independently using checkbox labeled 'Leveled plan' under Scale document heading. Leave the checkbox unchecked if you want to measure the entirety of the plan.
Please tick the box if you want to measure certain areas of the plan or have the plan divided into levels. Once the checkbox is ticked, a window will appear that will allow you to draw on the PDF. Click the save button at the bottom of the page when you are done.

- Outputs:
On the right side of the console, the output will be displayed. There are three primary components to it. You may have a sneak peek of the measured plan in the first section. There are two buttons underneath this picture. You may access the Google sheet that was created by clicking the "Legend and Data created" button. The "Click to view as PDF" second button directs you to the marked-up PDF that was created in Dropbox.

ONLY IN DROPBOX VIEW. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE PDF FOR THIS FEATURE. Any markup that you deem unnecessary in the pdf can be removed, and the legend will also be updated accordingly.

Second part

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 and three text boxes are present.

You can select the type of the shape from the first dropdown by selecting either:
   a. (1.0 Substructure) Ground Beam or Pile Cap
   b. (3.2 Floor Finishes) Floor or Wall

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.

Regarding the MC-T naming process: Then add the relevant detail and depth to the rows underneath the dropdowns. You can add/ subtract rows by using the + and - button.
You can add another block and repeat the process for another item by clicking the button next to "Measure using ADR".
