Vince, you’re correct the custom columns live in the document, not the profile. Go into an updated drawing and go to the custom column tab. Export the custom column file to a good location. Not on your old documents, go to the custom columns tab again and import that file. This should update the document!

I’ve been saying it for years, Bluebeam is the Franks Hot Sause of software. 🔥

“You can put that $h!t on anything.” 🤣😂

I see anywhere that you can export the Linestyle name, which is interesting, that would be just as important as the color. One way you could get around this is to make sure the subject of the tool matches the linestyle used. This way you can export the Subject if you’re not already. Just a thought….

[Troy DeGroot]

File > New. In the resulting window select the Style you want.

You can do just about anything in Revu, I have a tattoo to prove it. 🤣

The only reason I still use PowerPoint is that I can point to things with my mouse, we cannot do that in Revu Presentation Mode.

You’re not losing any features after you split them. The whole purpose of the count tool is to have items grouped and give you a total. If you split them they turn into regular markup tools. What Andrew was saying is to create a tool without the count functionality. If you have a simple markup tool and give it a Subject name when you sort the markups list by Subject by clicking on the column header, it will group all your markups by the Subject and tell you how many there are.

Often times I will have the estimators use the count tool so all the items stay grouped, but when they start to install those items, I split them, so I can change the status of each as they are completed.

I hope this makes sense, maybe I need to see it live to better understand your workflow.

For me it’s a way to remove all my misspellings.😂

The customer wanted to keep ft’in” to know the true length. I have to build a custom column to round up. Unless there’s another way… thanks Matt!

Once you have the grid imported in the PDF, try “Automatically Create Form Fields”

Oh wait, add that to your list of reasons to get Extreme. 😂😂

This is awesome @andrew-veggian

Thank you for sharing!

We must have been typing at the same time. Thanks for contributing @uncle_gene

I assume the recordings will be shared as well, there was a great list of courses this year. didn’t seem like anything really basic. Good luck with your course, I know you will be fantastic and I can’t wait to check it out.

That would be nice in Revu, but highly unlikely based on simple lines and text. Revu would never know how to distinguish what boundaries define a space or not. I wouldn’t put it past them to figure it out though.
I know when you create “Rooms” in Revit, those convert to Spaces when printing to a pdf. (depending on license and settings).
