    All great resources mentioned here @brent

    I’m glad you found this group and website, there are tons of written blogs, video tetorials, free downloads, free and paid digital courses, and access to over 3,000 users in this forum to brainstorm solutions with. You pretty much don’t need to go anywhere else. 🤣

    I’m a little bias, but the courses you find here are the best you will find. I have almost 30 years in the industry and it shows in all aspects of my training.

    I always have checklists. They get so long, that I have categories and sub-categories🤣.

    I would imagine this could be done with a custom line style, I would have to play with it.

    If you have your line weights disabled, when you flatten your markups the line weights are tuned off on the markup because its now pdf content. turn your lightweights back on and they should show correctly.

    I’ve seen weird things like this, for me it usually means I have to close Bluebeam down and open it again. I have BB open all day every day and after a while, I start seeing bugs. Otherwise, I consider installing an update.

    A team review is a great training opportunity as well. new people, new tools, new workflows. You make the most progress with an implementation when you show what’s possible beyond the current.

    I admit, I don’t use the Lasso tool, but maybe I should. For anyone interested, it’s under the Edit menu or Shift+O

    For the sake of learning, I select markups by holding down my right mouse button and drawing a selection window.

    Left to Right will select everything inside the window.

    Right to Left will select everything the window touches.

    Lasso allows you to freehand draw a selection shape which can be a lot more flexible with what you’re selecting as you weave around objects.

    Good one @DavidCutler

    It took me a while before I realized I could create a default Legend. I don’t know how many times I went through adjusting what it looked like and what columns were visible.

    I remember what an eye-opener that was for you in class! 🤣

    For those who don’t know. Disable Line Weights is on the right side of the Navigation bar across the bottom of your interface. The Dimmer button beside it also helps make your markups stand out by dimming the PDF content.

    The corner tool is smart, maybe a line tool connecting them would tell you how many 10′ pieces.

    I never have my line weights turned on, so I learned that from experience!

    Ok, I understand. I thought there was a new feature to break those apart in a Summary export. Your thought was to run a script after the export that would add two separate header/footing imports. Hmmm
