Custom columns are always a challenge when you first start using them because the columns that live in the PDF override the Profile custom columns. It’s interesting that your tools perform differently, I haven’t see that one. Typically the information is either there or not depending on if the column is there or not. @Vince has a great test idea. I hope the issue just goes away as you use your standard tools and now standard custom columns going forward.

Hey @Bailey any chance you have the “Dim Page Content” setting turned on?

[Troy DeGroot]

Is this an issue only from Bluebeam?

Outside of Bluebeam, if you look at your printer settings, is there a half-tone setting turned on, maybe?

Great question @bailey-smith , welcome to the Brainery Community.

And just the solution I was going to suggest @Doug McLean , thank you as always

I typically teach companies to have a template folder structure with template files on the network so you can upload that to each new Studio Project. Especially with Digital Dashboards. I think you have to download and upload if you want to pull from one to another.

I was curious if maybe you needed to bump the PLLength parameter above the PLWeight parameter in the list to match the order in the formula. I know you have to have the list of parameters in the order of operations or they don’t work. It has to figure out one thing before it can insert that information into the next step.

Sort of wish I was. I’d love to hear your feedback when you get back.

Has anyone else attended other locations and have feedback?

I’m still in 21.2 and I had the same issue during a class a couple of weeks ago. Completely random like you said, with no rhyme or reason to what works or doesn’t. Updates scare me!

And great to have you back @Nic_Bitting I was just thinking about you last week. I might be headed to Grand Rapids again in March.

Looking at the images, I’m not completely sure I understand…

It looks like you created a link to the Space around the elevation view. You then added the link information to the markup comments on the plan.

The better workflow is to create the Space the same way you did by naming it specifically according to the elevation. Then go back to the plan, right-click the elevation highlight, and select Edit Action. In the Edit Action window, select “Jump to” and select the document where the elevation lives. Next, go to the pulldown menu next to spaces and select the elevation space. Now when you click the highlight tag it will bring you to that Space.

I’m not 100% sure I understood the question, but I hope this helped.

Once you get all the vertical lines drawn, copy the group and rotate to quickly build the horizontal lines and complete your grid. Then yes, you would have to trim them all. You could group the entire grid and save it to your toolchest for next time.

[Troy DeGroot]

Yes, you would need to import the new custom column file into the template. Or create a script to import the layers and custom column file.

[Troy DeGroot]

I agree 100% @Vince

It’s also think the existing lines on the drawing should update when you make an update to the line style. It’s weird you have to go to the properties and reselect the same line style for it to update. Just a programing obsticle I’m sure.

Unfortunately, the same issue occurs with those custom labels in a Legend. Like everything else, there are great tools, but they have rules and limitations. I created some successful custom labels for a presentation at a steel detailing conference in September.

On a side note, I think this feature was added several updates ago, but the dropdown menu you mentioned must be new in this latest release, I haven’t updated yet.

Thanks for the post @DavidCutler

I don’t have the exact test, but it seems to be working. My downfall is that I basically never close Bluebeam or shut down my computer. I blame some bugs on that because some of them go away when I shut down.

I also created shortcuts on my desktop for these folders. I seem to go into them often.
