Measurements - Count Function

It would be incredibly helpful if there was a way to change the shape of the count function in the measurement feature to something else other than the "crosshairs" (+) for ease of visibility. For example a circle, square or triangle. 


Right now, i use Kubla for my cut and fill analysis then switch to OST for the remainder of my takeoff (counting storm catch basins etc). If the measurement function was just a little bit more robust, including changing the shape of the count function and possibly a little bit of structure of the counted elements (group them into a category you could name) I could complete my entire takeoff for a project in Kubla.
