    Great list! I used to do a Letterman Top 10 blog post with each new release. I have a blog post in the works from our friend @RebeccaYu and her checklist for drawing preparation for Studio Sessions. Some of the comments here are addressed there as well. It’s in a stack of “coming soon” items that are, well, coming soon. 😜

    Just like @isaac-harned says, there is no way to edit someone else’s markups in a Session. The Check-Out / Check-In in a Studio Project is the same as the Google workflow you laid out. One suggestion is to Right-click Reply to the existing markup to communicate with the original person. After discussion, they may update their own markup. Or create a new markup, so both users can compare and pick the best option to apply to the CAD/Modeling file. Maybe you create a status to tell the technician when the markups are ready to be applied so they don’t make the changes too quickly. Great questions @rick-nimtz thanks for being here!

    You and Tammy are always in my prayers @Doug McLean I hope the stress of moving is behind you all so you can focus on fighting, strengthening, and healing. You have a large community of people (you have never met in person😜) pulling for you guys. We all care about you just the same. Keep strong and reach out if you need anything.

    @Liz is a fantastic resource, definitely plug them into her site. As you know the UC2 website has tons of free content including videos, blogs, downloads, events, and this forum. Beyond that, I would love to talk to her team, learn their current paper workflows, and come up with a personalized training plan, that allows them to skip all the discovery time of self-learning. I can get them up and running in just a few hours.

    In AutoCAD, we have tools like Spline, but unfortunately, those are not available in Bluebeam. The best you can do, like you said, is click points and convert to arc.

    @Doug McLean First things first, Tammy is most definitely an extension of the community here. Whether she followed you in or came out of curiosity like everyone else, there are no techinicalities on how she became part of it. The laughter and stories shared with Tammy at XCON are some of my favorite of all the years I’ve gone, and I look forward to many more opportunities in the future. You are a cornerstone in this community and I know you if you pour half the effort into your family that you do in the Bluebeam community as a whole, you will be everything everyone needs. My heart hurts for the news, but I know that God is a good dad and will take care of His children. I pray for complete healing, on earth as it is in heaven.

    I also want to thank you for posting this here in the Brainery. This is a conversation place for Bluebeam issues, wins, learning and sharing, but what is community without support and friendships that go beyond a stupid computer program. We love you Doug, please know we are all holding you up in tough times and cheering you on!

    My suggestion would be to Copy/Past-In-Place the cloud. I’m never an advocate for overlapping markups, but if the need is there….

    With this, the clouds can match exactly and the notes can be separated as needed.

    Welcome to the community @mattzat Glad your here!

    This was just a gif I used for the feature image for the post to get some attention. 😁

    Welcome to the community @tshupe

    Bluebeam is definitely working on improving Cloud, I hope it gets to the point of Revu in the Cloud on any device. But that’s a way out. Was the Snapshot image part of Cloud or are you talking about a PDF summary in Revu where you can click and have it go directly to the markup? I haven’t played with Cloud enough (and it’s been a long time) to know if you could do that or not.

    Whether they are internal or external customers, thinking of those downstream is always the right mindset. It reduces redundant work to your internal team and might be the edge that makes external customers pick you over the next guy.

    Got it, I thought you had some magic button where the line width was tied to the font size. A highlighter toolset is great for some of us with a mug full of pens and highlighters on our desk. Thanks David

    What did those guys have to say? Now I’m curious.

    I’m not sure I follow, where are you setting the font size in the highlighter tool? I’m missing something obvious here, sorry. 🙃

    Such a simple trick with a big impact! Thanks @jeremyjoin

    I’m not sure I’ve see you comment before, welcome to the community!

    I hope to learn more from you going forward.
