One option might be to create a series of “RFI Cloud Tools” that have the number pre-populated so that when you selected “RFI 1” from your tool chest you’d have “RFI 1” in the text box, select “RFI 2” for the next one, etc. You could have tool chest with 100 tools – or groups of 10, whatever works best for your workflow. Once you use “RFI X” delete it from the tool chest so that RFI X+1 is at the top of the tool chest ready to be selected next.

This is probably more of an analog option than you’re looking for @corbin – but it could save some work in the future.

Used both the “tool chest search” and the “hide individual markup” features on a takeoff today. Both proved to be valuable timesavers in my workflow! 🙂

If you really want to blow someone’s mind save your snapshots to a scaled toolchest. You can then drop them as a markup from the tool chest onto drawings that have different scales. When you do this the images automatically match the scale that they are being pasted to.

These are a great way to learn “what you didn’t know you didn’t know” about Revu. The fun then begins figuring out how to work the new tips & tricks into your workflows.

I remember hearing about the new hide individual markup feature @Doug McLean but haven’t tried it yet. Have to put that on my list for today!

The ability to hide individual markups might be a candidate for a top 10 feature list @Doug McLean !

As a bonus I like the way they have added a “markups hidden” flag on the screen when you are using the “hide markups” tools.

Thank you again for mentioning this one! 🙂

Welcome to the Brainery @ameliarudd96 !

Hopefully our resident JavaScript expert @lizlarsen will be along to chime in on this….

Unfortunately I don’t have a good trick to automate this @corbin

A relatively painless way to create a series of tools would be to create a blank PDF that you use to create your tools on. Create your RFI 1 tool and apply it 10 times on the sheet and then edit the caption for your sequence. Next copy those 10 markups and paste them into another column and make those 11-20 and so on.

In your tool chests window create a “RFI” tool chest. Once you build out the number that you want to have available select them all, right click and save them to your RFI tool chest.

Realistically you could probably build out 100 tools in an hour or 2 and have them available to use over and over again.

You could up your game with some custom columns to collect various pieces of information related to the RFI that could later be exported to create a RFI log….

Sounds frustrating @Vince !

Luckily most of the time mine works as I expect it too…

Multiply is going to be right up there on my list of favorite features…. 🙂

We basically have 2 teams with 1 person on each team. I try not to talk to myself too much so the “team reviews” are pretty quick with little opportunity to show new tool approaches… 🙂

I rely on my UChapter2 “team” for sharing of innovative ideas…

“Above all else, don’t try to be perfect. You’ll make a mistake. Learn from that mistake, and try not to make it a second time.”

I may have to print that out and hang it on my wall @Doug McLean

I’m at just under 160 steps in my process @troy-degroot ….

There is more detailing to be done though… 🙂
