Re: Multiple legends for a single tool chest
That sounds very strange. If you select 'Current' as the source page for your legend then only the markups on that page should be summarised.

Re: Multiple legends for a single tool chest
Thank you for the information. With your guidance, I was able to figure out why I was seeing the issues with my legends. I had saved my legend set to total all pages to the tool chest, and was then setting it to roll up the current page. As I now know, as soon as the All Pages legend is added, if there are other pages with the same setting, it nulls out the counts so it doesn't double-count. Totally silly mistake on my part.
Thanks again for helping me get this function figured out.
Have an awesome day!!

I have duplicate "My Tools" chests?
I have a new issue whereby every time i open Bluebeam, it creates me an additional "My Tools" chest….i now have 16 Tool chests named "My Tools"!?! They also cant be deleted so they are growing. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: 🗓️ July 2025 Challenge - Setup Spotlight!
I measure a lot of different types of work and have profiles for each to make sure I only have what I need visible - it's great to have everything at your fingertips instead of having scroll through endless lists, etc..
I have different Tool Chests for each profile which incorporate tools with custom line styles, etc..
The toolbars that I have displayed in each profile will vary depending on what I need.
The placing of the panels changes to suit how often I need to access them as I am completing my markups.
And finally, the custom columns for collecting extra data change in relation to what I need to export out to a csv file for use in Excel later on.
Below are screenshots from my Brickwork, Drainage, Roofing (carpentry) and Substructures profiles.

Re: Spaces vs Places
I like to think of them this way. A Space is like a One to Many relationship, while a Place is closer to a Many to One. I know that sounds weird, but its true.
A Space can hold many thing, and will show up in the Markups List. Once you place a markup inside a Space it becomes active so you can filter by that Space. You can also do a few things like create an Area from a Space.
A Place however is, think of it this way, a detail drawing, or maybe a section in the specifications. Multiple things can be linked to that Place if you want. Places do not show up in the Markups list, but do have their uses.
Happy Fourth of July!!
It's almost the Fourth of July...which means barbeques, boats, fireworks galore and red, white and blue everything!
Do you prefer to watch fireworks or set them off?

Re: link my excel spread sheet to my takeoffs
you need to have Complete if you want to use Quantity Link. (Extreme if using Revu 20)
There should be a tutorial in Bluebeam University.
Re: PRINT GREY SCALE - EXCEPT A COUPLE OF LAYERS
Well, I've found a workaround. If you export the sheet that you want to work on and adjust the "dim markup" and "dim content" that will make the background go kinda-sorta grey scale. It's not ideal, but it works. Thanks for the help Doug. I'll re-do my linework on the new file.
