DATASHEET
KEY FEATURES
Paperless estimating process
Manual quantification of nonCAD images (like PDF and TIF
files)
Live link to Accubid Estimating
and ChangeOrder solutions
Drawing Compare with images
of different sizes and rotations
Batch printing of drawings
Advanced image processing
for converting grayscale PDF’s
to TIFF’s
Supports non-scaled takeoffs
for taking off isometric and
other non-scaled drawings
Supports right-angle, 15º increment “Polar” measurement
mode
Length and count can be quantified at the same time
Support for use with multiple
monitors with dockable and
moveable control panel
For contractors with access only to PDF
or TIF images rather than native CAD
drawings, Trimble delivers Accubid
LiveCount, providing the efficiency of
paperless digital takeoffs, as well as
seamless integration with Accubid Enterprise Estimating and ChangeOrder,
Classic Estimating and ChangeOrder
solutions.
LIVE BI-DIRECTIONAL LINK
LiveCount is fully integrated with Accubid Estimating and ChangeOrder
solutions and features a two-way, live
link between the raster drawing and
the Accubid job. Takeoff edits can be
initiated from the LiveCount side and
automatically update the audit trail
when quantities are changed in LiveCount. Since there is no need to import
or export takeoffs or breakdowns, that
translates into money and time savings. . Sophisticated file management
and drawing legends also allow users
to coordinate and organize projects on
the fly.
POWERFUL DRAWING CONTROLS
LiveCount measures takeoffs across
multiple drawings so that the quantity
list will show page and overall totals.
Different versions of the same image
can also be compared so as to identify
where the changes have taken place.
Advance image processing allows users to rotate and scale the addendum
or revision drawing and control what
level of grayscale should be converted
to black when converting PDF’s to
TIF, making the identification of elements such as walls easier to locate in a
drawing compare. With incredibly fast
redraw time, easy-to-use pan and zoom
features give bird’s eye and close-up
windows to help with the big picture
and small details. Images – complete
with takeoff colors and annotations
– can be batch printed directly from
LiveCount, while continuing to work in
the application.
SAVE AS
Scenario: an estimator takes off a
floor of a building and then receives
notice of an alternate spec or layout
for the job. Accubid Classic Estimating now supports the save as of a job
connected to a LiveCount project.
The estimator can save as from Accubid and create a parallel project in
LiveCount. The alternates can then
be quantified while preserving the
original bid. The estimator could also
use this feature to break the links to
LiveCount as the source for takeoffs. This feature is great for bid day
when you want to round off quantities before submitting the bid.
LINK/UNLINK & COMBINATION
GRAB
Both length and count can be
retrieved at the same time from
LiveCount in a single pass, cutting
takeoff time for branch circuitry in
half. Either count, length or both
variables can be unlinked from
LiveCount providing contractors
greater control by allowing manual
overrides. Users can also trace
non-scaled takeoffs like isometric
drawings and one-line diagrams and
manually enter the length while
marking the run as quantified onscreen.
