Only half way through but I’ve already learned something new @Vince and @troy-degroot – I don’t think I’ve heard of the “ceiling” function in Revu for rounding…

[David Cutler]

Looking forward to a full report @Vince

After that we will have to get @Doug McLean to figure out how to apply the #revunitroskit to the data you collect…

[David Cutler]

Is anyone out there in the Brainery community using 360 cameras for documentation?

[David Cutler]

Great tip @Doug McLean ! All of my custom area measurement tools are setup this way.

On a similar note I have my default “Rectangle” tool set to a yellow color with the “highlight” option set and a yellow border. This provides a great tool for highlighting large blocks of text or an area on a drawing. The tool has the added benefit of providing a “crisp” rectangular highlight compared with the rounded end that the highlighter tool provides.

Welcome to the Brainery @sdryan

Don’t be afraid to build some simple custom tools of your own! Doing so isn’t really that hard. You can then add more extensive functionality as your skill levels progress/as you learn and ask the “what if I did” questions.

@Doug McLean , @Vince and @troy-degroot all have great posts about custom takeoff tools. Doug and Vince do amazing things with the data that they extract from Revu and import into Excel (#revunitroskit). My custom tools and workflows aren’t as fancy as theirs, but they get the job done and are more efficient than the completely manual processes that they replaced.

I highly recommend spending some one-on-one time with @troy-degroot also. Be prepared to be blown away by what he can show you!

I just looked up the keyboards and mice that you folks are running with and I think I’m running with the equivalent of a dull pencil and recycled yellow pad! 🤣

[David Cutler]

Good to know @Doug McLean ! I never would have thought to look for them…

[David Cutler]

This could be a new competition for MCR. “I can complete that takeoff with X tools.”

[David Cutler]

It’s all part of the matrix….😎

[David Cutler]

I’m sure using the #Revunitroskit @Doug McLean could remove the door from the wall area @Vince and @troy-degroot

@lizlarsen could probably write some code to remove the door quantity too…

How about window area?

😎

[David Cutler]

Any walls or doors?🤣

[David Cutler]

I’m not either @Doug McLean , but if anyone can figure something out it will be you!

[David Cutler]

Going to have to get the popcorn out and settle in to watch this one @lizlarsen 😎

[David Cutler]

Perhaps the question needs to be “what do I need to break to make this work?” @lizlarsen 😎

[David Cutler]

Looking back through some older threads and saw this one @Doug McLean (have to study history so I know where to get my hyperlinks from for @Vince ). Did you find a way to simplify this process? If not, perhaps some of those who have joined the Brainery since your original post might have some ideas.😎
