Hi @robgib0

I’ve given up trying to use sets with UK drawings.

It’s not only the location of the title block that has caused me problems but also the

– drawing titles

– how the revision letter or number is added

I’ve tried about 30 sets of drawings now and reckon that the automatically uploading of details is probably only somewhere between 10-20% accurate at best.

That just leaves entering most of the details manually which really isn’t an option when you are looking at hundreds of drawings.

@mikeceilingsystems-com are you trying to just work out the ’rounded up’ overall area or the actual number of whole tiles?

If you are just wanting to look at the overall area then I think you may be able to use the properties to adjust the document (shape) width and height.

You’ll have to work out the dimensions with them being adjust for the scale of the drawing but this doesn’t appear to be too much of a problem in metric so I guess it will be the same as imperial.

If you are looking at the number of tiles then, I think the discussion that @David Cutler mentioned might help. I’m thinking that there may even be a way to automatically count the number of whole tiles without adjusting the original shape using the Spaces method.

@David Cutler how about naming your parent layer “aaa Takeoff” (or starting any title with “aaa “) and then ensuring that “Sort Layers Alpabetically” is turned on?

Then that way it might not be necessary to drag to the top? 😀

Thanks @David Cutler !

[Vince]

Definitely of equal importance @David Cutler !

With regards the nickname, I think I’ll go with “hyperlink” as you take instantly take us where we need to go! 😀

[Vince]

Are we all allowed to use this now then @Doug??? 😃

Great podcast @David Cutler – well worth a listen!!!

Unfortunately the disappearing layers from 20.2.85 have made an appearance (or not as the case is!) in Revu 21!!!! Very frustrating!

Hi @Matt and @David Cutler

I’ have seen this before! If you click on a measurement tool a ruler should appear in the bottom right corner of the screen – click on that and it will open up the pop-up screen.

[Vince]

Hi @Matt – I wasn’t aware of a pop-up window so would be interested to see an example of what you mean. I thought the only way to see the running totals on the actual drawing would to be to use a Legend.

[Vince]

Many thanks @troy-degroot !

[Vince]

@David Cutler don’t forget – save your new layer configuration in order so you don’t have to repeat everything the next time you open the drawing.

[Vince]

I’m not sure which is more accurate: –

David ‘Bookmark’ Culter

Or

David ‘Hyperlink’ Cutler

😄

[Vince]

@David Cutler you seem to have a great memory for what has been posted on here!

In which case, can you remember if there has been a feature on saving custom tools, importing them, etc.?

It might be worth rebooting that one to the top of the discussions for members just in case they are finding the same issues as me with the disappearing layer details, etc. on 20.2.85 and Revue 21! ☹

The Cloud doesn’t work for me though unfortunately @David Cutler .

But it’s nothing to do with Bluebeam instead, it is my normal problems with our incredibly bad drawings over here! ☹
