There is no easy way to do this. The reason is that Revit does not have built-in path array functionality. That said, it should be able to accomplish this using Dyano, though that is beyond the scope of this tutorial.

@@DigitalDraftingSystems Thank you for your response! Your video is very helpful for linetypes thank you.

Agreed. I will try and get another video together to make it a bit more clear. We appreciate your feedback.

In order to remove a team member, you will go to the Design Collaboration Module using the module selector on the top left of the screen. Choose "Settings" in the menu on the left side. Choose the "Team Setup" tab on top of the screen. You should see your list of teams here, click on the number under the Members column for the team you need to remove someone from. Here click the "Remove" button next to that person's name. You can see this button at 2:51 in this video.

You can change the data in an AutoCAD table and right-click on it to select “Write Data Links to External Source”. This will update the data in Excel that’s already been linked. This is the inverse of “Update Table Data Links”.

@@DigitalDraftingSystems What you are suggesting is to change the data with an Excel table inserted into AutoCAD and mutually linked; I want to take my tables created with AutoCAD table tools and pass them into Excel with text and functional equations, not as is done with csv text export. It is to insert a native AutoCAD table into Excel.

We don’t think that a native AutoCAD table can be inserted into an Excel spreadsheet as an XML or CSV file. Using the “Update Table Data Links” function alongside “Write Data Links to External Source” are the methods we use to link equations and formulas into Excel and AutoCAD. If this isn’t working for you, then a script found online may help.

Are you able to provide a bit more detail? We are not sure exactly what is going on. Feel free to provide time stamps in the video as well and be specific as to what you see on your end vs what you see in the video.

@@DigitalDraftingSystems so when you go to your 3D model @0:45 I can see that the glass panel is overlapping with the mullion and goes inside the body of the mullion, whereas in my file the glaze panel ends at the outline of the mullion and doesn't overlap with the mullion ( I mean it doesn't go inside ) any suggestions? please bear with me if I couldn't explain clearly, english isn't my first language and thanks for replying

@@User_2026_ One thing to verify is that you are using the correct family template (curtain wall panel), otherwise the results will not be the same. Additionally, if edges are locked to the appropriate planes then it should work as expected.

You can right-click on a regular markup and select “Apply to Pages” after modifying it. You’ll need to delete the other markups if you continuously change the first one. This can be done easily with the Markups List by selecting all the markups that you want to delete. You can also use “Headers and Footers” to add text on multiple pages that can be changed all at once. If you’re using actual form fields, you can select the form field by navigating to the “Forms” side-panel and selecting the field. Then, you can open the “Properties” side-panel and scroll down to the “Calculate” section. You can input custom JavaScript code to modify multiple form fields on multiple pages at once.

@@DigitalDraftingSystems Thank you. Can you make a video. It will be helpful to others too.

There are many reasons why your logo would not appear correctly when Batch Signing a PDF: (a) You’re using an older version of Bluebeam Revu that isn’t updated, (b) your rendering engine is set to “Software”, (c) You’re singing a PDF on a network and/or with assets on a network instead of on a local device, or (d) Your computer is experiencing a bug that could be fixed by shutting it down for a few minutes. This is a very subtle situation that would benefit from troubleshooting by an IT specialist.

Yes, that is correct. You can switch between two different Autodesk Accounts on the same PC. However, please note that the files accessible from one account will likely differ from those available to the other account. For this reason, when you sign out of one account and sign into the other, the Desktop Connector will require you to clear the currently cached Autodesk Docs data on the PC. This step is necessary to prevent conflicts and confusion with files from the previous Autodesk Account and to ensure you can add the needed projects under the new Autodesk Account. I understand this may not be ideal, but the system is not designed to facilitate frequent switching between accounts. This is likely why there is no existing solution to streamline this process.

Thank you! When inserting a block, you can type “R” to rotate it before placing it. Then, your array will be in the same rotation. You can also edit the block and associate a Rotate Action with a Rotate Parameter, the object(s), and the other parameters associated with the array.

@@DigitalDraftingSystems thanks for the reply. I was hoping to have the rotate action within the dynamic block but alas, I tried what you mentioned before i posted and it didn't work for some reason. Further reading on the issues suggests you cant rotate an Array in Dynamic blocks

Surely this isn’t a premium feature

If a PDF has been digitally signed with “Document Certification”, its pages can’t be rotated. Also, some PDFs have security permissions that restrict “assembling” the document. This can be confirmed by selecting the “Document” drop-down and selecting “Security”. Exporting the document’s pages could create a new copy without security permissions.

The unit column’s data can only be changed if the markup’s units are changed. This can be done by selecting the markup, selecting the Measurements panel (It looks like a ruler), and changing the “Area” (Or whichever measurement’s unit you need to change) to something else. The Legend will automatically update with new unit info. We created Custom Columns for Quantity Takeoffs and Cost Analysis. We added these custom columns to our Legend, and they were initially created in the Markups List. Here’s a tutorial that demonstrates how we created them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZyTZKyBgr6Khqcsi=PxTrSgPWqjjKKdXr

@@DigitalDraftingSystems The column unit in my markup list is in line with my measurement which is Polylength, I have the correct Area unit in sf, since I set the depth manually, the depth times the lineal measure gives me area in sf., but the unit column is the unit of Polylength, which is set to be ft. I have the correct units in comments column, it's not the issue of unit conversion, it is not having the final wall are unit in my legend, it only gives your default Polylength unit which you set in under the 'ruler' icon to be ft or m. Unlike measuring a floor area, if I use area measurement in plan-view, it gives area unit, which is what we want. I didn't use elevation view to do my markups for wall area, I use line measurement in plan-view for wall first and add wall height, but unit should be sq in, sf, sq cm, sq mm, ac, ha, etc. What I'd like to see is having an area unit in the legend area under unit column if I started with length unit by Polylength measurement. If I want to know the volume for concrete foundation, I will start with area measurement, maybe in sf, then add the depth in ft, Bluebeam works out the volume, but the unit column is sf, but I'd like to see cubic ft, is there any way to achieve that, thank you!

@@user-mz3lt2gc8q Displaying more than one “Unit” in a Legend may not be possible according to our tests. This can be displayed in our Markups List, and we can create Summary Reports with multiple units and data. You can submit a feature request to Bluebeam here: community.bluebeam.com/bluebeam-community

We created the custom “Concrete Area” markup by creating an “Area”, opening the “Properties” panel, and selecting “Edit” next to “Show Caption”. You can turn on many captions, including “Label”. Then, in the “Label” section near the top of “Properties”, you can type any text you want. It will display itself on the PDF after you select a blank section of the PDF or if you select another section, such as “Subject”. We created a tutorial for this around a year ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXOQeneNjt96aassi=ftPe_ohPdwunjh6Y If you navigate to 7:18 in the video, you’ll find the section where we demonstrate how to create a customized area markup.

Hello. The Shared, Consumed and Live linking is all determined based on how the files are linked to and what workflows you follow when going about the project process (sharing, consuming, etc.). This should all be covered in the Docs and Design videos in this same playlist. From there, you can set whatever folder you choose to be your Model Coordination space and any project in that folder will be clashed.

Me too

We have another video on Multileaders: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoexd6xvat2hrdU&ab_channel=DigitalDraftingSystemsInc.

Hello. Sadly we are a bit limited in this respect, but what you can do is change how they are grouped (from a list of pre-defined parameters). To do this, click on the "Filter and Group" button near the top of the list when viewing your clashes. Here you can change the grouping from by Obrject to a number of other options. Hope this helps!

Yes, Polygon and Ellipse Cutouts can be copied and pasted onto other parts of the same area and onto different areas. We can right-click on the center or edge of the Cutout, and the right-click menu should show “Delete Cutout” if done on the Cutout and not the Area itself. You can then mouse-over an area, right-click, and select “Paste” from the generic right-click menu. We’re using Revu 21.1, but this has been available since Revu 2017. Here’s a link to the “Release Notes” for Revu: support.bluebeam.com/articles/release-notes-bluebeam-revu/, and here’s the section that talks about how Cutouts were improved: “Along with the new ellipse cutout option, cutouts can now be copied and pasted within Area and Volume measurements. Additionally, the polygon cutout can cut through an edge of an Area or Volume measurement, reforming the overall boundary of the measurement. Automatically fill cutouts by selecting an area or volume measurement and clicking inside the cutout region. Hold the SHIFT key to fill all remaining unfilled cutouts.

Thank you! To solve this, you'll likely need to set up a graphics override for the specific line type you're working with. Check the filters first to see which line types are involved. For each line type, you'll need to create a separate line type family. Once that’s done, you can either apply a color override to each one, or you could just create the line types in the color you want right from the start. This way, you can save them as distinct line types, making things a bit simpler and clearer.

@@DigitalDraftingSystems great i will try this and thank you for speedy reply!!

This may be late but if you override the visual graphic of the line (EOD). If will change the color and text together. Super helpful!

Hello. Make sure you download the TwinMotion installer from the Autodesk site directly, it will not be the regular Twin Motion version.

While we can set our page’s scale to “cm” or “mm”, along with “m” and “km”, this won’t change each subsequent measurement, and while we can also change each measurement’s units, this will be reverted for new measurements after the first one. This can be fixed by right-clicking on a measurement set to metric units and selecting “Set as Default”. This will need to be done for all measurements and only affects our shortcuts. We can also save these measurements to our Tool Chest and retain our metric units. If you want to exclusively measure in metric with all programs, including Bluebeam Revu, you’ll want to change your Windows settings by selecting the “Start” menu, selecting “Settings”, and searching for “Measure”. The setting labeled, “Change the way measurements are displayed” should pop up, and selecting this text will lead you to the “Region” dialogue. After selecting “Additional settings”, we can change the “Measurement system” from “U.S.” to “Metric”.

We’re glad you enjoyed the video. The Pan tool acts the same on Landscape and Portrait pages, and when we hold the “CTRL” key, we can toggle between “Scrolling Pages” and “One Full Page”. This is how you can change the icon next to the Pan tool from a magnifying glass to two arrows facing up and down. We created a video that illustrates this a couple of years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWPNn6WjaJyJbM0si=vf81xzAMMsBNPvru

We don't believe there is a way to do this in Revit. One suggestion would be to rotate the image outside of Revit, save it and then bring it into Revit/ the schedule. We hope this helps.

The Layer States must be created in the DWG with the layouts. Any Layer States in an XREF won’t work if the XREF is linked to another file.

Thanks so much for your kind feedback!

Thanks! These tools only work for vector data and not scanned files/photos/images.

@@DigitalDraftingSystems Ah, I figured that but just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the quick response!

According to our tests, we don’t believe it’s possible to synchronize only some views and not all views/sheets/files. We can go to suggestions.bluebeam.com/ideas/new and suggest this neat feature.
