I usually open my files through File Explorer, so hopefully I’m ok

[Doug McLean]

I’m going to agree with Vince.
Make sure you have full backups of you Custom Columns saved somewhere and then import them into the drawing when necessary.

[Doug McLean]

When you open a non PDF from Projects, it opens a local copy.

You’ll have to check the file back in once you save it.
If you look in your Pending box on the Projects homepage, you will see the file you have checked out.
Check it in from there.

[Doug McLean]

Yeah, you’re going to want to do this the way David said. You’re not going to want all that data in a stamp. You won’t be able to do anything with it.

Take the time and build the custom columns. You’ll thank us later

[Doug McLean]

Mostly, I’ve had this happen to me while trying to edit a Space.

I’m wondering is it every control point, or just certain ones? He didn’t use dynamic fill to create the markup did he?

[Doug McLean]

I use a lot of Choice and Formula columns
I’m with @David Cutler, my custom columns are based on what I need for my Estimating Software.

Always get them to answer this question – “What problem are you trying to solve?”

[Doug McLean]

We do about 45% of our business in the US, so I had a working day off Monday

[Doug McLean]

I might have found something.
There is a setting to automatically save a Set drawing log when saving a set, which saves it to the same location as the .bex file is saved.
I should be able to just use that as I can use Power Query to grab that file

[Doug McLean]

You’ll probably have to update the link in this case.
left click on markup to select > rt. click > Edit Action

[Doug McLean]

wouldn’t the formula be something like – ((number of 2 x 2 blocks * 4) + width + height)
Assuming each 2 x 2 square will be cut on at least one width and one height and the attached 2 x 2 square will complete the cut. Then the additional width and height will complete all the cuts.

Having all the information is different spots is part of the fun though 😂
There are ways to potentially merge all that data, but there are a whole lot of IFS that come along with that statement.
Unless you really need to have all the info on the drawings or in the markups list, I wouldn’t put it there. It’ll just add a bunch of noise that isn’t necessary.

What I would try and do is merge all that data outside of Revu, and set up hyperlinks.

Saying that though, Doors are a royal PITA, and the way they get written into plans and specs is probably one of the worst things Architects do to us. Its not always possible to wash that data properly so that you can merge it together.

[Doug McLean]

you forgot hold your eyebrows at different levels

[Doug McLean]

It does, but its reliant on the person to do that step. I’d like to make it error proof somehow.

[Doug McLean]

I heard back from Bluebeam.
They’re hoping for the end of the week. Still waiting on final approval.

[Doug McLean]

I dropped an email to Bluebeam this morning.
I don’t want to get too far ahead in my PPT design and then have to fit their template
