Reports, exports, and sending a takeoff onward
A takeoff is only useful once it's numbers someone can price or check. CountTooling gives you several ways to get there, from a quick on-screen tally to a full marked-up PDF.
See the totals as you work
- Legend — the on-canvas summary shows your counts and lengths by type, right on the plan. It's draggable and resizable, so park it wherever it doesn't cover your work.
- Footer totals — the status bar keeps a running
[count | length]across every page and canvas, with multiply and scale zones already applied.
Show Report
Open Show Report for the full breakdown in a new tab. You can scope it to:
- this canvas,
- all canvases on the current page,
- all plan pages (current canvas), or
- everything — all pages and canvases.
Export a marked-up PDF

Export PDF produces a deliverable with your markup baked in. You control:
- marker and line size (so marks read at print scale),
- whether to include the takeoff report, and
- whether to bundle highlights and notes into the file.
You can export specific pages, just the marked ones, or the whole set.
Send it to where it gets priced
- Copy to PipeTooling — copies the takeoff as tab-delimited counts, ready to paste straight into a bid. It even appends a view link back to the source takeoff, so a bid can point at the plan it came from.
- Copy Summary (email/text) — a plain-text summary for dropping into an email or message.
Reading the bare drawing
Need to hand someone the plan without the takeoff on top? The Hide marks toggle peels the overlay off so the drawing reads clean, then brings it back with another tap — it's purely visual and never touches your data.
