Edge Finder: instant linear foot measurements for steel edging
Manually tracing lines to measure steel edging can take hours and lead to errors.
Bobyard's Edge Finder lets you select two or more polygons, instantly detects their intersections, and calculates precise linear footage, including curves. This is perfect for estimating edging material in landscape design takeoffs or construction estimating.
Item Callouts: automatic counting without symbols
Plans don't always include unique symbols for shrubs or plants. Instead, you might only see text callouts, which usually means a slow, manual count.
With Bobyard's AI-powered Item Callouts, our software detects and tallies these plants directly from the callouts, so nothing gets missed. This ensures your takeoffs are accurate and complete.

Coming soon: AI Compare for project version tracking
Version control can be a nightmare when dealing with multiple plan revisions. Our upcoming AI Compare tool will highlight changes between versions instantly, so you can spot differences without scanning the entire plan manually.
