Accubid Setup

Info

Automation

It is likely infeasible to automate LiveCount and Accubid project creation. However, a script could launch the apps with a procedure, setting the clipboard.

Sequence

Create LiveCount Project

1. In Trimble Connect, find the project "CONEST TEMPLATE", open its context menu, then click "Use as template for a new project".

2. Ensure all checkboxes are checked, then click Next.

3. Name with format "{Project Name} - ConEst".

Refresh the page and open the newly created project.

Upload Drawings to LiveCount

# Extract drawings to ".\Trimble Connect (Plans)"

mv '*FIRE ALARM*.pdf' '.\Fire Alarm\'
mv '*POWER PLAN*.pdf' '.\Power\'
mv '*SITE*.pdf' '.\Site\'

Upload extracted drawings to LiveCount

Create Accubid Job

Important

The LiveCount project must be created before creating the Accubid job.

• Create a new Accubid job - Path: "\EgnyteDrive\Shared\Trimble\Accubid\Bid{Project Name} - ConEst.es16"

Add Drawings to Accubid Job

• In the LiveCount window, find Document Manager > Select Existing Project. Add all previously uploaded drawings.

Setup Breakdowns

Replace the Areas with those created in pdi-conest-project-setup#Setup WBS

Important

Do not copy Systems from WBS Accubid Setup.
