All of the above.
I also have quite a few Custom line styles that we apply as well.

As for line weight, I tend to keep them at 1 but sometimes you need to show them thicker.

I also hope you’re moving forward with PQ. There’s so much too it.

I’m going to try and do a couple of cool videos over my Christmas break to show some really cool tricks I just learned. (Just have to practice a bit first 😉)

[Doug McLean]

Mine starts early on.

I start by making my Spaces on the floor plans and placing a custom tool that we use for any given Millwork Callout. (We’ve also recently updated this process to include items that we can’t run though our estimating software)

Then I make the corresponding Space markups on the elevation drawings. We name the Space the same as the Millwork Callout so that its easy to tie everything together later.

Next we use a collection of Custom tools designed to work with our estimating software to do all the takeoffs, then its just a matter of running through the process.

The best thing you can do to keep up on your QC is be vigilant. Always make sure that tools are up to date. BatchConfig files are correct, any data tables are current, etc.
Keeping your team up to date too is also very important.

you should be using the Redact function rather than blacking them out and flattening.

Edit> PDF Content> Mark for Redaction (<Shift> +R)
apply your redaction boxes
Edit> PDF Content> Apply Redactions (<Shift> + A)

This will stop anyone being able to search for underlying text.

I’ve complained about this. Even had this shown on the MCR.
Bluebeam, for some reason, can’t seem to replicate this on their computers so its not a problem in their eyes.
It’s kind of a sore spot for me tbh

[Doug McLean]

Give it a try with no spaces, add an underscore or something.

Who knows, just guessing at this point

@DavidCutler
Places can be found on the Links Panel.
They are similar to a Space, but slightly different.
A Place would be something that multiple things can be linked too, like a section detail.

[Doug McLean]

@troy-degroot
they are.
Far too manual for my liking

[Doug McLean]

I’ve tried that, its tricky and time consuming to set up.

I wish the Hyperlink abilities of Spaces were better.

[Doug McLean]

on those, .25 is my go to

Reusing a Query is one of its biggest advantages. You’re going to need to do a little bit of coding to make it work, but its pretty easy stuff.
Maybe I’ll add that to the list 🤔 😁

[Doug McLean]

you need to set up a macro to refresh on open

[Doug McLean]

like when you have update your Power Query to accommodate the new columns?

That’s always fun

Michael Echave and some guys from ATG went to the Dallas one. T
They enjoyed it. The LinkedIn posts I saw from Sydney looked like they had fun as well.
Most of it they said was about upcoming features in both Desktop and Cloud.

The big takeaway for me was the return of XCON, rebranded as Bluebeam Live. It will be next year in DC. I think they said September/ October

[Doug McLean]

its just a Text box tool placed in the elevation pat of the Space.
This is how they look once complete.

You could add the hyperlink to the Millwork Callout instead of just a blank box
