What it can do

Measure it once. 
Then use it again and again,

In QuoteSlayer once you have drawn an object, you can duplicate it, and use the same measurement again and again. A cable, duplicated to be the earth, the conduit and the trench.

An area, can have a grid counted within it, array out line members in fixed intervals, convert it to a volume without ever having to redraw the original object. 

One cable run duplicated three times with a different pen on each copy - cable tray, submain cable and earth cable, each carrying its own measured length
01 · SWAP THE PEN

A line for the tray is a line for the cable.

Draw the conduit, and duplicate to be the earth wire. Duplicate it again and make it the trench to get the excavation volume. Duplicate it again and make it the submain cable. Then make the submain a "cable" four parallel runs, with different length droppers at each end. Four measurements off of one object, 

A lot of objects have right click options to allow you to turn an area into a pad, or a roof at an angle, count within an area, or layout spaced lines of some other pen.

02 · PERIMETER OF THE CUT

The hole you cut has edges worth pricing.

Cut the windows out of the wall paint and you have already drawn every window frame on the elevation. Price their perimeters as frame painting and the second measurement is free.

Same idea anywhere an opening has a trim, an edge or a seal: skirting off a floor cut, angle off a slab penetration.

03 · CUT IN

Take one area out of another and price it separately.

Measure the whole floor as carpet, then cut the wet areas out of it. The carpet quantity drops by exactly what you removed, and the cut becomes its own measurement you can put the lino pen on. And the perimeter can be assigned to an edge beading pen, 

No subtracting rectangles on a notepad, and no risk of pricing the same square metre twice.

04 · COUNT IN ARRAY

Regular grids get counted in one action.

Car park lights, ceiling troffers, sprinkler heads, pavers. Set the array across the run of them instead of clicking each one, and the count lands with its spacing intact.

The count is still editable afterwards, so the two that are missing from the corner come straight back out.

Next: the symbols find you.

Counting is faster when you are not the one looking. Symbol Slayer reads the symbol and the text beside it, then brings  candidate's back as tiles you accept in bulk, or adjust singularly. Which ever gets you the most hits for the least clicks,
