Mine would have to be people that have access to Revu still using that a “A*****” program when they are trying to show me something on PDF file. 🙂

Thank you for sharing this @vince !

If you are faster with a hard copy and highlighters you need to provide a video of you in production mode!

You hit the nail on the head when you said that the additional data that you collect outweighs the additional time that you spend in the process. Don’t forget that you are also saving the time that I takes to plot the drawings, file them when you’re done with your takeoff, find them again when you need to look something up, etc.

I want to go back and watch the video again before I make any suggestions, but what you’ve put together so far is brilliant!

Welcome member #1900! What questions can we answer for you?

[David Cutler]

Thank you for the heads up @vince 😎

Interesting question @nic_bitting

A couple of ideas:

– Select the markup tool from “Recent Tools” Tool Chest rather than from the markups list

– If you select the markup and it jumps to the previous page use the “Previous View” button to take you back to the page that you want to continue your takeoff on. You can also us the “Alt + Left arrow” keyboard shortcut to jump back to the previous view

– From time to time I’ve also established a “Working Set” tool chest were I copy tools that I’m going to be using extensively to so that I don’t have to scroll through the same larger tool chest repeatedly. Kinda like having a pouch of tools that you take out of your main tool box in the basement to have handy when you are working on the second floor bathroom 😎

Hi Matt. Did upgrading to the current version of Revu solve this problem?

[David Cutler]

Thank you for the heads up Troy!

Are they saved a part of a profile that you have saved?

[David Cutler]

I think that you would find that most of us use less than 30% of the features of the software @aekrogh. 😎 In part I’m sure that this is due to users simply not knowing the capabilities of the program. That is one of the great benefits of this on-line forum that @troy_degroot has provided for us – we get to see how others use the various features that we don’t use already.

[David Cutler]

Sounds as if your City really has the process dialed in @aekrogh !

Is this something that the City put in place and required the other groups to use, or was it developed with input from the various “interested parties”? What types of challenges did you face with the implementation?

[David Cutler]

Looking forward to seeing what you put together @vince.

I was surprised previously when I learned that a status couldn’t be removed Doug. @Dwane Lindsey ‘s “None” status is a great way to “clear” an incorrectly applied status.

[David Cutler]

Thank you @Dwane Lindsey for presenting yesterday!

[David Cutler]

Did you ever get to have a look at this system @Vince ?

[David Cutler]

This one might be a good one to bring to the attention of folks you know at Bluebeam – or perhaps someone who is already reading this 😎.

I could see two improvements in the “Clear Recent Files” option:

1. Add a “Are you sure you want to do this as this will not only clear your recent files but also your Categories and Pinned files” warning message.

2. Split the “Clear Recent Files” into a “Clear Recent Files” and a separate “Clear Categories and Pinned files” option.

After all, what every day user would have ever thought that “Clear Recent Files” would clear your categories and pinned files??????

[David Cutler]

Might be an opportunity to discuss “Best Practices” for files that you access regularly.

To start I’d suggest establishing a “quick reference” folder on your system that is backed up regularly and then have a shortcut to that location pinned to your file explorer. This will take some effort to keep current, but will avoid this issue (an others) in the future.

Next I would pin 1 of those files to your quick access in the file menu in Revu. This would allow you to right click on the file and open that folder to access the other reference files without having all of them pinned directly in Revu.
