So, I’ve just had it confirmed that this is an official problem with Revu 20.2.85 and that the engineers are working on a fix for a future release???

The recommendation if you are incurring this problem is to go back to 20.2.70 which can be downloaded from https://downloads.bluebeam.com/software/downloads/20.2.70/BbRevu20.2.70.exe

Why? What happens if you’ve already installed it?

[Vince]

Apparently, we need to read up on how to become influencers @David Cutler – they are the people that seem to get given loads of stuff for doing not a lot!

[Vince]

@David Cutler maybe we should start offering a product review service for anyone who wants to send us some bits to test out? A nice new ultra powerful laptop would be a good item to start with in case anyone is listening out there! 😆

I’ve seen a few posts about assigning ‘tasks’ to the buttons on a programmable mouse so thought it’s got to be worth looking at.

[Vince]

Great idea David!

I think there might be a few glitches with this version – I’ve noticed it freezing a few times as well as more problems with custom markups.

[Vince]

I’ve actually captured the problem on video and have now sent it off to Bluebeam.

I’ve also noticed another problem where the order of the lines and text to a custom tool change order when a markup is placed.

[Vince]

Layers are assigned to the prebuilt tools. The first couple of times the tools are used everything works fine but then I notice there is no layer assigned in the Markup List and when I check the actual tool, the layer is gone from there too.

Hi @Troy

Hopefully the picture below shows what I mean.

The first markup has the label moved to the end and is then saved to a toolbox.

The second and third markups are created using the new tool.

I want the label to stay the same distance from the end of the markup but unfortunately Bluebeam seems to be placing it based on a distance from the centre point of the markup.

@dhwalkellc I do have a spreadsheet for measuring the cut & fill to roads if the long sections are available though…😆

@dhwalkellc I never got to use one of those!

A set-up using Bluebeam and Excel for slightly bigger areas – well it’s what I do! 😂

Use Bluebeam to grid up the drawing and then use Excel to enter the existing and proposed levels from the grid.

I export the custom columns from each of my profiles to a folder in Dropbox so there is always a copy to hand should I need them.

It’s actually best to save backups of the whole profile but I think @troy-degroot might be the person to explain best practices for that type of thing.
