Invitation preview · symbol counts for any plan set

Count every symbol
on every sheet.

Symbol recognition and counts from the drawing's own geometry, for electrical, mechanical, plumbing and architectural plan sets.

Upload a plan set. planreviews.ai reads the legend, learns each symbol from its own drawing, finds every copy across the set, and hands back a reviewed count as named, countable Bluebeam markups and as CAD blocks in DXF format, built from the drawing's own geometry. Your office's symbols, not a fixed catalogue.

Every trade on the set

If it is drawn as a symbol, it gets counted

planreviews.ai learns each symbol from this plan set: the legend, or a copy you draw a box around on the sheet. Any trade, any office's symbol set, any consultant's drafting habits. Recall is measured on published test sets, trade by trade, and the numbers are printed here as each one lands.

Electrical devices legend reading in beta

Receptacles, switches, junction boxes, disconnects, motor connections, panels, and the systems devices an electrical set carries, plus dashed remove and relocate variants. Dense power legends read partially today; define a symbol from the plan and the count is complete.

Lighting legend reading in beta

Troffers, downlights, strips, exit and emergency fixtures, occupancy sensors, by type letter.

Mechanical & HVAC legend reading in beta

Diffusers, grilles and registers by type, VAV boxes, fan coils, thermostats, dampers, equipment tags.

Plumbing legend reading in beta

Fixtures by type, floor drains and cleanouts, valves, hose bibbs, water heaters, backflow preventers.

Architectural next

Furniture, fixtures and appliances by type, doors and windows by tag, and whatever else the set draws as a repeated symbol.

How it works

Three steps, one plan set

From a stack of PDFs to a reviewed, exported count in one sitting.

Create a project, drop in the set

A project is the job or bid. Add its vector PDFs; each becomes a drawing whose counts and corrections save as you work. The geometry of every sheet is read once in the background, so the first count is fast.

Scan the legend, or define your own symbols

The legend table is found on its own and each cell becomes a symbol to count. No legend, or a symbol the legend does not show? Draw a box around one copy on the plan and it becomes a row, counted across every sheet you tick.

Review and export

Step through matches, add or remove with the cursor, let AI double-check any row. Export a PDF whose count markups are named Bluebeam Count-tool symbols, a DXF in which every detected symbol is a real block, and the device table as Excel.

Features

Built around how plans are actually drawn

Real sets are messy: dashed variants, symbols stacked on wires and ducts, legends lettered differently from the floors. planreviews.ai is built for them.

Legend detection

Finds the symbol table even when it has no heading, reads each cell as a symbol to count, and names the rows from the legend text with one AI call.

Custom symbol detection

Drag a box around any symbol on the sheet and every matching copy is found, rotated, mirrored or re-lettered. Redefine a legend row from a plan copy when the legend drawing differs. Your definitions stay in your symbol library for the next set.

Counts per sheet

Tick the sheets that count. Riser and detail pages stay out, and every total, marker and export follows the selection live.

AI verification, opt-in

An AI pass judges each match against its legend symbol, rejects text and table cells that only look like symbols, and remembers its verdicts so a re-check costs nothing.

Review tools

Arrow through every match, restore or remove with one key, add a count at the cursor. Clusters, dashed variants and wire-through symbols are handled by the matcher, not by you.

Bluebeam markups and CAD blocks (DXF)

The PDF export writes each count as a named, countable Bluebeam Count-tool markup, so totals, the Markups list and Resume Count work as if you had clicked them in Revu. The DXF export turns every detected symbol into a native CAD block, built from the lines, arcs and geometry in the vector PDF, inserted at each counted spot on its own layer.

Exact by design

Counts you can reconcile

planreviews.ai reads the drawing itself, not a picture of it. Every marker lands on the symbol it counted, so per-sheet totals tie back to the plan.

  • Vector first. Symbols are matched by their geometry, so look-alike text and table cells stay out of the count.
  • Scanned sheets count too. A symbol detector trained on plan sets finds the symbols on a scan and the legend names them. Scan at 300 dpi; at 150 dpi small symbols are lost.
  • Nothing leaves your account. Projects and symbol definitions are yours; your drawings are never shared.
BluebeamNamed, countable Count-tool markups on the sheet, grouped per symbol, with an optional cover page. Works in Revu and Acrobat.
CAD (DXF)A CAD-compatible DXF with a block per detected symbol, made from the PDF's own linework, one layer per symbol, one file per sheet.
ExcelDevice table by symbol and sheet, ready for the estimate.

Pricing

Get counting. Get going. No BS.

Straight pricing you can read without booking a demo or sitting through a sales call. Vector symbol recognition, counting, review and every export are unlimited on every plan and never use credits. AI credits pay only for the optional AI steps: naming symbols, verifying a count, reading a legend, counting scanned sheets (10 credits a page). Pick Count if you never want them, Pro if you want them every month.
