Abstract
A plugin can allow for tracking objects within a computer-aided design ('CAD') application. In one example, the user can select an object or family of objects to track. The plugin can set a parameter of the tracker to match that of the selected object(s). The tracker can be joined to the selected object to form a new assembly, such as by embedding the tracker within the object. A user can define areas, such as rooms or floors, within the layout. The plugin can poll the trackers, which report which areas the corresponding object is within. The plugin can compile this information and display quantities of object types per area.
