Livecount/Accubid Electrical Help?
I work for a mid size electrical contractor doing takeoffs on projects 10k-6m, most fall between 1-3m. I'm struggling to get rid of pen and paper takeoffs. We have livecount included with Accubid but I've never been able to make use of it. It just feels so tedious and clunky.. Every single item I input has to have the color manually changed to make everything visible. Otherwise I have 400 items on one page that are all blue squares. Same thing with length measurements too. If I have an assembly for 3/4" EMT 3#12, 5#12 and 7#12, every instance is the same color without manual input. To change the colors on these length measurements I'd have to do it for every single run. If I have 100 circuits on one page, Id have to edit the properties 100 times. It looks like a pile of monocolor spaghetti. Surely if so many of you are using this program, I have to be doing something wrong.
