Hi Chad. The only thing I can think of is that an older version of Revu has installed.

Naming and colour coding highlights so when I’m reading a report, I can easily sort everything into relevant sections at the end.

Hi Doug,
So sorry to hear your news – thoughts and best wishes are coming from over here in the UK!

[Vince]

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and here’s to a very happy New Year for all!

[Vince]

Has the position of the Label been moved when the right offset tool was created? Can you move it closer and then save the revised tool to your Tool Chest?

[Vince]

If the details in the header row are fixed, then you could use a couple of formulas to complete the rest of the data.
The room details on the left could be obtained using a combination of Sort and Unique which will adjust automatically if you’ve put the data from Revu into a table in your spreadsheet.

The main body of the table could then be completed using a Sumifs formula which would also automatically adjust to the number of rows used.

Attachment?

Sounds like another glitch @Doug! Updates required?????

[Vince]

You can actually select the sequence markups (just one will do) then flatten them. After you unflatten the drawing the markups are standard markups and no longer in a sequence.

[Vince]

Thanks Doug that’s very useful info!

[Vince]

Thanks @Doug!

Are you storing your drawings on Sharepoint or somewhere else?
Maybe I’ll try sets with the next set of tender drawings that I receive.

[Vince]

🤣

If I only had that level of influence @David Cutler !

Apparently, I’m currently causing enough issues by asking for engineers’ designs to be something that we can actually construct on-site instead of being a group of lines which just look very neat on a screen.

If I now asked for a sensible file naming convention then, I think a few heads will explode!

However, in all seriousness, I think the issue here is that many of our clients upload their drawings to Viewpoint, Doc Hosting, etc and I’m assuming that those programmes handle the filenames better than Revu so the client doesn’t see what the actual problem is???

[Vince]

Thanks @Dwane.

I was just looking at ways to manage a project with people being based in different offices and also on-site. I started out thinking that a Studio project would allow everyone access to the files that they need.

But then I started looking at how to upload or updated new drawings of which there are loads. There can be issues of multiple drawings every few days so updating one by one isn’t an option.

Sets doesn’t work here in the UK because of the way files are named – there is no standard format or consistency.

To be honest, the whole process is proving a bit painful!

[Vince]

Thanks @Doug!

I wasn’t sure if I was needing to look at sets or if there was some other way of inserting new and / or updated drawings into a Project? I know I’ve already bored everyone about this but, due to how inconsistent our designers are with how they name drawings, sets are extremely difficult to use here in the UK.

I thought slip sheeting was going to be the answer but that doesn’t necessarily seem to be the case.

I was looking at Projects and possibly a Dashboard but it’s essential that I can easily import new information.
