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.

Welcome to the community @jtoddowen

Thanks for sharing such a great, detailed tip. I’ll have to dig deeper into this one!

I love a good temporary override shortcut. Thanks for sharing @Roye

I only use single-page documents in a Set (or Binder as I prefer to call it). I teach to extract pages from multi-page pdf’s and then create the Binder. If they are multi-page, I don’t know how BB would tag the pages and organize them as Binders are intended.

You are correct, you’re unable to edit other users markups in a Studio Session. I know it’s been on the wish list for years, but I also understand the importance of the integrity of markups. When the punch process is complete, your checker can download the files. At that point, they can edit them outside the Studio environment. Hope this helps. And welcome to the community @tshupe

@isaac-harned is definitely your guy for this one!

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.

anyone can change the status. You wouldn’t be able to edit the markup, but you change the status to “Complete” “On Hold” or whatever you want to name the different status updates.

Specifications are a different animal for sure. A digital dashboard might be a good option. If you still want to use the “Binder” method, you could maybe use the Batch Header/Footer tool to add a page number, then build the set using that as a page tag. You could also create a Place for the cover page of those specific sections, then in the drawings link to that Place. This way the hyperlink would go directly to the section.

There are a few options to play with, we can keep brainstorming, but keep us posted on the direction you go. I’d love to learn from you as well!

Love custom statuses! Depending on how they want to edit the markups, this is great.

I think they have seen the request, but if that bucket of requests starts to overflow, they will historically put resources on it. The key to what you said is the owner would choose the option. That is a key point to make in the suggestion. If anyone wants to jump on and support this idea, here is the link. https://community.bluebeam.com/bluebeam-community/discussion/829

Sorry for the ugly picture of me, not sure why Bluebeams website would use that as an image. Embarrassing actually! 🤣

Unlock Studio Markups

I have heard the request over and over to unlock the markups in Studio Session so not just the author can edit them.

Thanks for your tips @ashleyw and welcome to the community!
