Questions

Asked by fire engineers.

Can it count sprinkler heads across the set?

Yes. Symbol search finds every copy of a head on a sheet, a range of sheets or the whole set, and the counts total by tag.

Is there a detection loop line type?

Yes. The fire tool set includes a detection loop run, and a fire main line type ships in the library.

Can I see what changed in the architect's new issue?

Yes. Compare lays the new issue over the last and shows what came out and what went in.
