While a custom column could be created in Revu for tracking, my thoughts are that it’s not the best location for it.
Now if this was being entered by someone in the field, then sure, it could work. Then the data could be exported and analyzed in either Excel, Power BI, or whatever BI solution that you’re using.

Why not simply use Studio?

Happy New Year to everyone.

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.

[Doug McLean]

that’ll do it.

When I set up a template file, I just delete all the table rows except the top one, then clear the data in that top row. Just leave yourself a header row and one blank row.

At that point to you can record a macro to refresh and place it on a button.

What yours was doing was creating a Connection Only Query,
You could have fixed this by opening the Queries and Connections pane (Data> Queries and Connections) then Rt. Click> Load to.

keep learning

you can also copy/ paste the code into the advanced editor if you need to.
Home> Advanced Editor.

@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

[Doug McLean]

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
