Frequently Asked Questions
How can I use the same item across the Project instead of creating a new one each time?
Selecting Link from Worksheet allows an existing Stage to be selected and used to create one Project Total for the Measurement.
To combine marked-up Stages, please use the Transfer Tool. This moves Measurement Totals from one Stage or one Measurement to another.
Can Groundplan automatically Count Symbols on Plans?
Yes, although this feature is not available on iPad or Tablet devices.
Count Assist Tool is Groundplan's very own assistant to help search and locate Symbols on Plans. For more information on Count Assist, click here.
