From plan geometry to a takeoff you can check.

PDF structure

A supported vector plan set is parsed for the drawing primitives it already contains — lines, arcs, blocks, text, and the layer structure the drafter published.

Deterministic. Nothing is inferred at this stage.

Repeated geometry

Identical or near-identical symbol geometry is detected across the sheet and across the set. Repetition is the signal — a fixture symbol placed 37 times is 37 copies of the same geometry.

Counted, not estimated.

Fixture family

Each repeated geometry becomes one family with one quantity and one instance list. From here the estimator works with six families instead of 131 symbols.

One family. One decision. Every instance.

Work scope

Lineweight, layer, and drawing convention are read to separate new work from existing to remain, relocated work, and demolition. Where the drawing does not settle it, the family is flagged rather than assumed.

An exact symbol count is not automatically the bid-scope count.

Evidence

Plan text, the fixture schedule, the legend, prior confirmations, and geometry ranking are collected as separate, labelled signals. Ranked geometry matches are an ordering signal — they never set a name by themselves.

Sources stay visible and stay separate.

Estimator confirmation

The estimator confirms, picks a different candidate, or leaves the family unresolved. That decision is the only thing that names a family.

The machine counts. You decide.

Takeoff output

Families, counts, scope states, sheet references, and status leave as a structured takeoff — with unresolved families still visible as unresolved.

Nothing gets a name it did not earn.
