Import Symbol Libraries from BlueBeam for Count Shapes

Import a symbol library (from Bluebeam/CAD or similar sources)

Assign symbols as count shapes

Reuse those symbols across projects

Symbol file types are .btx

The workaround for now I found was to draw the symbol using a takeoff tool, switching the quantity to 'Section Count'

The image drawn should be 1 section. copy the shape (ctrl c) then use (ctrl v) to paste it.

One hand on the mouse to aim, and ctrl v to paste in place.

It actually works well but I can't save the shape to use on other projects.

This was a request from a customer with a large number of people stuck on bluebeam that would like to switch to zzTakeoff
