    Maybe I’ll update while on vacation next week. I always hate to update in a busy training season (which seems to be more continuous these days)

    I would guess they are scanning the line you said, but there is a setting when they print to select Vector or Raster. I hope it’s that simple and fixed going forward.

    I should probably update, but per typical, I wait a little while. I’m guessing I’ll be jumping straight to Max.

    You could create a custom column in the markup list for the “Unit Type”. Then create a custom column for “# Thus”, and finally a custom column for totals where you multiply all your quantities * # Thus. Adding the Unit Type simply allows you to organize your markups and keep things straight.

    Welcome to the group @Courtney Ward Thanks for posting.

    If you open the Forms panel, you will see that each “field” has a name. Use copy/paste so that all the fields you want to match have the same name. That’s it, super simple.

    Great post. @jtoddowen There is a lot of value here. I do the same for customers when I build custom columns and tools. I also created custom buttons so they don’t have to go into the script dialog. I appreciate the time you put into this. If you ever want to do a presentation for our bi-weekly webinars or write a guest blog post, just let me know.

    Great question @maryann-campos, and welcome to the Brainery!

    There are a couple of different ways to create a Legend.

    1. select all the markups on the drawing, right-click, and select Legend > Create New Legend. This will create a legend of only the material you selected. You don’t have to select all of them, just one and it will report the other instances of the same tool.
    2. Once you have all you tools organized in Toolset, click the Properties Gear to the right of the Toolset header. Go down to Legend > Create New Legend. I like to do it this way, because it will create a legend of everything in that Toolset, but only the ones you use.

    Hope this helps! Thanks for asking, so future answer seekers can search and find what they need.

    Sets should automatically sort by discipline when it reads the sheet number and sees the letter in front of the number. The question was asked if it could be organized by building, I assume a large development with multiple buildings. Using a tag for the building number would be an interesting test. I’ll have to play with that. Maybe someone already has and can share…..

    I don’t think this is a solution, but I really hate not having a good answer. If you use Dynamic Fill, you can pull the length measurement from the perimeter of the filled area……

    It looks like you are using the Snap to Content, which would be my first suggestion. Is there any way you can measure through each doorway and use that as waste rather than getting into all the fine details of small bumpouts? Just thinking, some of those very small pieces can be very time-consuming to trace over. Others in the group might also have ideas.

    You can delete and add legends as you see fit; it’s just referencing the data in the markups list, it doesn’t affect the data at all. Just remember, the data can only be in one legend at a time.

    Do you have more than one legend created for the same counts? Sometimes that happens by accident. Bluebeam only allows the information to be in one legend; it will clear the others once you create a new one.

    So you’re using the Header/Footer to add text to the sheet, then using that as a tag to sort by. That’s a pretty cool way of doing it.
