Don,

It sounds like what you really need is Power Query.

You can do quite a lot with one measurement, if it’s set up correctly

[Doug McLean]

One thing you’re really going to discover about Revu Mike, is that it is not designed with any of the finishing trades in mind. Typical, as we’re pretty much an afterthought anyways 🤣🤣
Those of us that have material size limitations all have the same frustrations with it. We’ve developed some interesting work arounds.

Fortunately, its quite customizable, so you can build tools that will suit your workflow.

[Doug McLean]

There is a centroid box you can check which will show the center of any markup. I believe it’s on the properties panel.

Are you asking how to make an irregular shape? Instead of click and hold, click and release, then click on your other points. You also may want to make sure your ‘Snap to Content’ box is selected.

[Doug McLean]

Wondering if anyone has any other insights on this?

This is actually going to be the topic of an upcoming video.
The way I deal with this is to get the data out of Revu and into something that will allow you to transform it.

[Doug McLean]

way to go Troy.

We might be getting a few more members here in the upcoming weeks. Just did an interview for a Podcast that I threw a few shameless plugs in for you.

[Doug McLean]

This is just another reason why I much prefer to work in individual sheets.

I never have to worry about going back to a previous view, I just pop to the other tab.
Where it becomes an issue is when I have a boatload of tabs open.

[Doug McLean]

Oh no

[Doug McLean]

Vince have you tried changing how the revised pages get stacked by the Set?

You’ll have to go into your preferences, but it should solve some of your issues.

[Doug McLean]

If I had to learn one thing over again, it would be how important custom tools and custom columns really are. Learn how to create them and how the data that comes from them can be worked.
Data, and how we work that data, is becoming increasingly important in today’s construction environment. We need to harness it.

[Doug McLean]

Its just learning a new skill.

[Doug McLean]

I also tend not to use the math functions in Revu because they are far to basic for my needs.

I’ll just export the data and do all that stuff in Excel. Much easier.

[Doug McLean]

The Round function works pretty much like the round function in Excel. I don’t think it rounds up or down though. It follows standard rules of rounding

[Doug McLean]

SQL is a Database reference. Might be the way the function works in there

[Doug McLean]

I almost always get at least one thing out of every webinar I attend.
With yours it was the “None” status v. a null status.

The way you explained it made sense to me.

[Doug McLean]

Oh I hate dealing with solid wood waste when it comes to Millwork. Too many things come into play.
