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]

If your polylength is a single straight line then you might be able to use the details in the Properties panel to adjust the length although this might just work with horizontal or vertical lines.

I use this trick when I’m measuring brickwork and scaffolding on elevations – it works on areas and lengths.

[Vince]

Always verify a drawing.
This week I’ve had a set drawings with the wrong scale in the title blocks and wrong scale bars in the legend.
The to top it off, when I tried to stitch the 6 drawings together the first one wasn’t printed to the same scale as the others – I had to increase it to 103% to get everything to tie together.

[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.

[Vince]

I do use scaled Toolboxes for similar things @DavidCutler but not for this actual scenario – I’ll give it a try next time – thank you!

[Vince]

🤣

[Vince]

@troy – I’ll be loading that up later this morning!

[Vince]

I believe so
