PDF takeoff that doesn’t fall over on a scan.
Most takeoff tools need a clean vector PDF from CAD. Drop in a phone photo or a 600-dpi scan and they choke. ZeroCount reads all three the same way.
All read by the same engine.
01 / Vector PDF
Exported from CAD.
AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam — anything with searchable text and proper line geometry. The easy case. We handle it, but it doesn't impress anyone.
02 / Scanned PDF
Photocopies and archive prints.
The drawings you actually receive. Scanned at 200 dpi on a Friday afternoon. Marked up in red pen. We read them anyway.
03 / Photographed plan
Phone snap on a desk.
Plan rolled out, lighting from the office window, your hand visible at the edge. The model handles perspective and lighting.
Bring your worst drawing.
You probably have one in your inbox right now that broke your last tool. A scan-of-a-scan with margin notes. A photo with the corner of the desk visible. We’d rather demo on that than on a clean reference drawing — the clean ones aren’t where the value is.
Send the drawing that broke your last tool.
A scanned PDF, a phone photo, a marked-up plan — the messier the better. We'll run it live on the call.
