Presets are an estimate
They assume the plan is printed to true scale. After applying, confirm by measuring two known points.

Auto-pick from plan tags (A)
A click beside a tag on the plan (FS-1, CO, B) places that tag's counter. A counter whose name says the tag keeps it: 3IN FD stays 3IN FD.

Check scale before exporting
These pages have lines but no scale, so their lengths will copy in pixels, not feet:
Set the scale on each page (or its scale zone), then export again.

Custom Icon Tips
What makes a great icon for upload:
Simple shapes: icons are shown small; clear outlines work best
Single color: your icon is tinted by the counter color
Path-based SVG: use path, rect, circle, ellipse, or line elements
Avoid transforms: rotate or scale in your editor before export
Square viewBox: e.g. 0 0 24 24 or 0 0 64 64

Every part of the app
The plumbing course: how a restaurant gets its plumbing
Before you count, a short opener for anyone who has never read a drawing. Then nine chapters, about ninety minutes in all, on the engineered sample plan. Each asks why the engineer put something where it is and takes the answer as a click on the sheet, then the tool for counting it. Take them in order the first time.
The electrical course: how a restaurant gets its power
Before you count, a short opener for anyone who has never read a drawing. Then nine chapters on the same restaurant's electrical set: the power plan, the lighting plan with its lettered fixtures, the panel schedule and the one-line. Which receptacles must be GFCI, where the panel may sit, why the far circuit needs bigger wire, and the app's own checks against the code tables.
The HVAC course: how a restaurant gets its air
Before you count, a short opener for anyone who has never read a drawing. Then nine chapters on the same restaurant's mechanical set: the rooms and the air each needs, diffusers with their CFM, the rooftop unit and its main sized down the hall, the plenum it has to fit in, the hood's exhaust and the make-up air, and the pounds a sheet-metal bid is built on.
