I mean, this is the nature of online services. Sometimes shit happens, even to the biggest of companies.

I remember a couple years ago there was a BIM360 outage that wreaked all kinds of havoc.

It happens. It sucks. But it’s not a frequent thing, so just adapt best you can until it comes back.

This is not an exhaustive how-to, but rather a collection of methods to interact with external files using JavaScript.

The methods used are:

• Insert external PDFs based on check boxes.
• Insert text from a .txt file.
• Populate a dropdown box and text field with data from a CSV file.
• Populate a dropdown box and text field with data from a JSON file.

As always, if anyone has any questions, just let me know! I’m happy to help anyone dive into the world of JavaScript in Bluebeam 😁

Only Bluebeam Cloud receives updates automatically.

For any installed software, it will still need to be updated by your IT department (to my knowledge).

The Multiply feature was implemented in version 21.0.50 and if you’re version is less than that, you won’t have the multiply feature.

To find out which version is installed, go to Revu → About. See the attached screenshots.

I’ve done the opposite using VBA. If anyone remembers when @mitchyoungs showed up for a glorious 5 minutes and blew all our minds, I learned how he did that and recreated it for another use-case.

So if worse comes to worse and you don’t find another solution, I might be able reverse the process and take data from multiple forms and combine them into a spreadsheet. DM me on LinkedIn if you’d like to try that route.

Otherwise, maybe if I tag @mitchyoungs again he’ll come out of hiding to show us how he does the reverse, because I’m pretty sure he has a way to do it. (Or maybe he’s like Beetlejuice and you have to say his name 3 times, idk.)

Oooh! I got this one!

Yeah, I’m thinking I’m going to have to set them up individually 😕 Seems to defeat the purpose of having groups.

[Liz Larsen]

Oh, I’m not the Session owner. Is that why? I have full permissions to this Session, but I did not create it.

[Liz Larsen]

In the Attendees tab, the green + only allows me to enter email addresses and the little people icon says “you have no groups or users available”. So I still cannot figure out how to add groups.

All of that sounds extremely stressful. But I’m glad to hear she’s doing better. I hope things go more smoothly as they dial in her medications. You both are in my thoughts.

[Liz Larsen]

I love when that happens!

[Liz Larsen]

I gave him some stuff I made previously for someone else, both files and a video I made explain how it all works.

Do you want me to hook you up? 😉

And, as always, feel free to forward your VBA or JavaScript to me and I’ll take a look for any efficiencies that I can find.

[Liz Larsen]

@Doug McLean , I can help you with that.

I have time tomorrow afternoon (we have half day Fridays where I work). I’m free at 1pm Eastern. DM me on LinkedIn and we can set something up.
