One option might be to duplicate the sheet and make the space larger so that it encompasses the markup. You would probably want to add a text box label of some sort on each sheet saying “use for room A only”

Looking forward to Shirin’s presentation this afternoon and to @lizlarsen ‘s presentation next month!

Thank you for putting this series together @troy-degroot !

Great presentation by Shirin Arnold @troy-degroot ! Thank you for making the arrangements to have her present to us.

The stage has been set for next month @lizlarsen . Looking forward to seeing what you bring to the party! 😎

I’m not a sessions user @troy-degroot so I haven’t tried this, but would it work if you hit the “delete” key while the session is selected?

[David Cutler]

Registered and looking forward to the debut @troy-degroot !

Have you invited Shirin to join the Brainery????

[David Cutler]

If you have the layer names in a custom column @Vince you could filter by that layer name, “water” for example and then select all and reestablish the layer that way.

Unfortunately that doesn’t solve the problem of the layer assignment getting wiped from the tool, but it might help re-establishing the layers on markups that you have already placed.

I’m guessing that you are probably doing something along these lines already, but thought I’d throw it out there just in case. 😎

That’s one of the many things that I appreciate about the Brainery and MCR @Doug McLean – I get to learn what I didn’t know I didn’t know from folks like yourself, @vinc, @lizlarsen and others that post here!😎

The content was so engaging that no one had a chance to ask about XCON this week! 😎

I remember working on “geometric constructions” or something like that in High School drafting class @Vince . We had to draw all of the surfaces on paper, cut them out and assemble them into a 3D shape. What started out with a simple cubes and cylinders progressed to a cylinder cut at an angle. I think I might still be able to recreate it if I thought about it enough… So much easier to do with modern software! 😎

That’s one of the things that I enjoy about hanging out here in the UChapter2 “room”. I am surrounded by like minded individuals who push me to take my Revu game to the next level every day.

Thank you @troy-degroot for making the “room” available for us and thank you all for the lessons and challenges! 😎

[David Cutler]

Amazing stuff @Doug McLean ! I’m thinking that once you win the project we will need to arrange a visit to your fabrication facility for the “Unofficial UChapter2 Advisory Board” to see how it all comes together… 😎

[David Cutler]

I’m going to go back to measuring curb and sewer pipe for now. My head hurts just starting to think about how to go about this @Doug McLean !😲

I’d be curious at some point to learn how you handle was allowances on projects like this. I know in the past you have mentioned that the available sheet good size tends to drive the waste allowance. On a feature like this I could see the quantity of waste being higher than the quantity of useable material!

And after watching that video I now need to write a script to add my coversheet with a single click!

Thank you for sharing this @ChrisRiley !

[David Cutler]

I like the “Layers” page idea @ChrisRiley !

I do something similar with what I call my “Takeoff Coversheet”, though I hadn’t thought of putting my standard layers on it… This coversheet has most of my “standard” items that we include on every estimate (Mobilization, Supervision, Layout, etc) along with standard testing items. I insert the page (saved as a template) into my takeoff file. That way when I import my takeoff to create my bid items I have all of those standard items in the file without having to select them every time.

[David Cutler]

Thank you for the clarification @Vince . I’ll have to play with this one a bit…
