    The comment column is unfortunately not any help. I imagine there is some programming issue where this column information is hardwired for each tool.

    Just so the rest of the Brainery knows, @bittingn attended my classes last week in Michigan and is about a week into creating custom tools. Kudos to your creativity and execution Nic.

    Maybe if you explane or show us why you’re going the direction you’re going, we could give some better direction. What you have is great!

    If you (like everyone else) want to remove or reorder the columns in the toolchest, its not possible. just saying that because you might simply be asking the question so you can see the lable without extending your panel accross the screen so far.

    Maybe put your discriptive name in the Subject and the category in the Lable…. This way you still have the ability to sort things the same way, but the specific tools are easier to find the tool chest…

    I’d have to learn more about what you’re trying to do. If you’re using Quantity Link, the only information you can pull from Bluebeam is a measurement. You could filter what measurements go into a specific cell by Space, the Space itself your not able to report as a live updating link. I hope this helps.

    Haven’t seen you in the group yet Jose, welcome to the group. Excited to learn from you!

    I’d be lying if I didn’t say this was a BHOG of mine. Let’s see how this pans out in the coming months. Let it be heard, I’m officially planting my flag on this. I actually think I could pull it off with a few partnerships.

    When I get plans on the bias like this, I use the Deskew tool to set the rotation of the sheet to the building. Could that work @Doug McLean ?

    This is awesome @Doug McLean

    I’m curious if you used the polylength tool to trace the path of the radious, this would give you the length. Then take that length with the regular length tool and add the stair pitch. This should calulate the new length, then add the depth to get the wall area.

    Pretty straight forward it you read that six times. 🤣

    @Doug McLean is on the calendar to do his XCON presentation on June 6th. I don’t have the registration page built just yet.

    @Vince in the group is a guru as well. He did a blog/video series for my blog a few months back you can check out all his material.

    Both of these guys are doing some remarkable things with Power Query and turning some heads in the industry!

    I created a hidden field labeled “Total Minutes” at the bottom of the form and set the visibility to hidden. Then in your total field, I wrote “Total Minutes” / 60.

    I overcomplicated it, wrote the formula in the wrong format and nothing worked. That’s when I introduced @soncanaircomech-com to the Brainery and all you smart Bluebeamers!

    Thank you @lizlarsen

    I have, but I’ll ask again. It seems like she’s busy jumping to Japan and around the world every other day. 🤣

    I’m learning right alongside everyone else my friend! My favorite part is the quality of communication and friendships being made. You don’t see that on any other forum, no passive-aggressive trolls and Bluebeam bashers. Just professional problem solvers!

    Right!

    You know what they say, “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” 🤣

    Really all you can do is keep doing your best, work with integrity, and above all keep serving people. Success will chase you down.

    True @ChrisRiley, that could overwrite things you don’t want overwritten.

    Can we script a “Save As” I wonder? I’d be Ok with that.
