    to create a 3D PDF, you just need your program to output either a U3D or a IFC text file, and Revu can create them. If your software does that, you’re good.

    Update**

    Well the first round of Chemo didn’t go so well. She had an allergic reaction to the solvent that the Chemo drug is is. Had to have an epi and an ED visit.
    They changed up her drug a week later and that went ok, with no adverse reaction.

    Here’s the thing with Chemo, it basically destroys your immune system. Just prior to the second try at round 1, Tammy had a mild cold… well that turned out to be Covid. Plus she got Norwalk virus on top of that and it damn near did her in. She eventually checked herself into the hospital because of it. She really was in pretty bad shape. We almost lost her to be honest, with the flu and an extremely compromised immune system.

    A week and a bit later, pumped full of all kinds of drugs, IV’s, and some amazing care by the Nursing staff at CGH, she’s finally home and doing much better.

    Round two of Chemo goes next week, with a lesser dosage. Apparently, they start you off with the biggest dose you can handle, then dial it back if you have any kind of a reaction. Hopefully this goes better this time around. I really don’t need her in the hospital for another week.

    Thanks for listening everyone.

    Do you have all the latest updates to Revu 21 installed?
    I’m with Vince and Isaac on this one, probably missing a version.

    We’re actually thinking up whole new workflows now that we have this information.
    We just have to sit down and actually implement them…🤣🤣

    Oh and it never hurts to have a mentor. At least your wife can ask you 🤔

    Other than here, Liz, and a few others, it doesn’t hurt to look at Bluebeam University either.
    Its now included with your Revu 21 subscription, so there really is no excuse to not use it.
    The tutorials are basic, but they’re ok. Have a few folks jump into the MCR as well.

    The best thing to do though, is just get in and get your hands dirty. Learn the interface. Learn what each panel does, learn what the various tools do.

    This is a software that while its very intuitive, you still have to dig in and understand all the nuances to it. There’s cool stuff under the surface that takes a while to find.

    that was us at our last place. It was temporary, but we were there almost 5 years.
    It never felt like it was anything more than temporary so we never set it up.

    This place though, it feels more like home. Its a place I want to stay for a while. I’m already into the IKEA planning tools. Might even do a little Revu layout to see if we can figure out the furniture placement 🤔😂🤓

    the moving stress is over.
    Now its unpacking, placing furniture, figuring out what new stuff we need to make this place work, finding all those small items you threw in a bag…. 🤣🤣

    Oh it was.

    Moving over that time sure didn’t help either. I only JUST got my Hydro account dealt with…lol

    They really just said that there was an announcement that they weren’t allowed to talk about yet.

    Next week, they can talk about it.

    As I said, with the Bluebeam announcement of the AI integrations, its my guess that XCON is coming back as they’ll want to do something like they did with Bluebeam Cloud.

    I’m thinking that’s what Jason and Michael were alluding to on Tuesday. (just my speculation, don’t hold me too it.)
    Plus with Bluebeam Labs and the AI stuff being introduced, they may want to launch it somewhere.

    Just my two cents

    I need to go see that. Do you know how often I want to take Excel Data and put it into a form?
