I’ve had that here in the UK too Doug – quite funny when the salesman really doesn’t know anything more than the basics.

Maybe something to with the line weights being disabled?

When I get this type of thing I’ll just use a provisional quantity based on tonnes / m3 (I guess that’ll be ton / cubic foot for you?).
Sometimes I’ll try to look at what will be in a lm of a ground beam etc. to provide a degree of backup but don’t go much further than that as the engineers all seem to come up with something different!

Unfortunately, I’m not going t make it Troy.
But I hope everyone has a great time and I look forward to seeing the presentations from you, Doug and the other members in one format or another after the event!

Hi @DavidCutler , yes, I’ve also had issues with this. I think that sometimes it has to be an issue to do with the drawing being used – I first noticed this on a set of drawings that I was trying to stitch together when training. Everyone else had the same problem. Maybe there is something in the background of these drawings that Bluebeam doesn’t like as a lot of the drawings that I have issues with seem to take up a lot of memory – 8 or 9mb each before any markups are applied.

[Vince]

Hi @DavidCutler – yes, I’ve had this problem! The weird thing is that it only seems to happen once or twice a week.

[Vince]

Are you successfully using Sets @DavidCutler ?

[Vince]

I wouldn’t hold you breath on this one @DavidCutler !

[Vince]

I quite often swap between the two @DavidCutler when I look at room sizes in houses. I use feet and inches when I look at the actual size of the room, the door sizes, etc. but when it comes to measuring things like skirting boards (base boards?), architraves, etc. then I do that in metres.
I guess that’s what comes from doing a Carpentry & Joinery apprenticeship in the late 80’s!

[Vince]

I’m guessing it is to do with changing between the Select and Pan tools as you are moving around a drawing.

[Vince]

Interesting idea @DavidCutler and one I will try to have a look at.
At present, as windows and doors are usually openings which are ‘square’ on the page, most of the time it is quicker to drag the polygon cut-out than it is to copy a cut out and then try to get it in the correct position.
However, that is not to say that if I can get the template idea to work then this might speed things up.

[Vince]

That would be a very good idea.

[Vince]

How are you getting the option to use the wand at the moment – mine does come up occasionally but not really when I want it.

[Vince]

I have the stitching feature available, but I get an error every time that I try to use it.

I also have the wand available – sometimes. When I say sometimes, I mean about 5% of the time which is very odd!

[Vince]

I think that there are probably a few things that I should test out again. Maybe I’ll wait until after Unbound though as they way Michael was talking about some of the forthcoming changes has made me think that I might need to make some changes to my workflows in the future anyway.
