should it not just be a typical stud wall formula?

[Doug McLean]

is this a Revu 21 thing? I’m not too sure what you mean when you’re talking about alignment.

the default in Revu 20 is center and there doesn’t seem to be a way to change it (or am I missing something)

I’ve quietly started with a few people on custom toolsets. (Basically I took the stock toolsets from the Revu profile and tweaked them) They all seem to actually like and understand the purpose of doing that.

I’ve also started using the Status Column more, complete with Custom Statuses, and have also introduced a Responsibility Column for anything that we have to have a vendor for.

I think I’m just going to keep putting these into my bids and see if anyone actually notices.
Start doing full markup summaries and leaving little breadcrumbs.

Maybe, eventually, someone will ask how I did that.

To err is human,

To REALLY foul things up, requires a computer.

Glad you got it all sorted out

Something is amiss at the Circle K

I’ve had this happen, but with Spaces.

I usually just add a new control point and move that one. Then go back and delete the old control point

A couple of other things you’re going to want to do is to keep the names of your Subject Column in the first table, the same as your Column headings in the second table.

If you need them to be in a specific order, build that order in Excel, load it in as a connection only, then you can do a Reorder Table to list function.

You could also do that report layout using a Pivot Table.

what part…. its a REALLY BIG country…lol

I’m taking a couple of weeks off around then, so if you’re coming to the Vancouver area, we can get together.

I could probably even swing a shop tour if your family will let you get away.

most dangerous phrase in business…. “We’ve always done it that way!”

[Doug McLean]

I’ve been doing that, but instead of getting people to want to learn, they just want me to do more.

I was asked about two weeks ago to show all the glass we have in the mall project we’re working on. I mentioned to the Sr. Project Manager that yeah, you guys need to learn how to do the export, he more or less dismissed that notion. They honestly have no concept of what the markups list can actually do for them.

Its so frustrating that since 2019 or so, almost no-one here has even bothered to see what more Revu can even do.

I did do that full Markup summary anyways, left it sitting in a folder. We’ll see if it even gets noticed. (I like leaving it, accidently on purpose, on a printer though).

I love it when I get them in a room and I get that ‘ah ha’ moment. Problem is, I’m not getting them in the room.

Once I get them there though…

[Doug McLean]

all great points

lol… breathing

Honestly, the problem here goes deeper than one person, although there is more or less one at the center of it.

I did have a whole training program in place, but then Covid hit and we weren’t allowed to do any group training.

[Doug McLean]

you can also add measurement attributes to a count too, look into that a bit as well

[Doug McLean]

you can easily create a Set drawing log, that includes the filepath if you need too.
