Great idea (it can be hard to select an object from crowded areas) but this has been really badly implemented unfortunately. The pop up crowds the area around the cursor and often obscures either the control point or the place where you want to drag the control point to.
See below where the control point is obscured by the pop up:
If you hold shift while moving a control point and you release it next to the pop up, the control point often isn't adjusted but does leave a black line behind which disappears once you press esc. This means you are limited in where you can adjust a control point. See the image below where the control point can no longer be adjusted.
Please please please give us the option to turn off features like this!
Hey @Andrew Shields,
I went ahead and split and moved your post for visibility. Thanks for providing screenshots!
You can turn off Selection Cycle in the Preferences menu. It's just a radio button you can toggle on/off.
I find the feature useless for my workflow, and it was easy to disable. That said, even if I did use it, the feature was pretty annoying how it covered the area where you were immediately working. Just a really bizarre feature with even more bizarre UI.
@bwiginton Thank you!!!
Yeah, it could be implemented a little better I suppose.
It's pretty easy to work around though. Zoom-in/out to adjust the placement of the pop-up in relation to your markup. You can hold shift while scrolling to zoom (even if you have to hold ctrl as well because you're in continuous mode).
I'm happy to see that there is a way to disable this new feature because it is a bit clunky. It would be nice if you didn't have to go in to preferences to turn it on and off. Maybe just adding an option to turn it on and off easily like the "snap to content", "snap to grid" etc.
I would love it if I was able to rebind the key from shift to something else. The feature has been useful the few times I've needed it, but It otherwise gets so much in the way that I just cant justify keeping it enabled
@STR - Kristin - I can see it going either way. Storing certain options away in preferences is helpful. Like switching on/off the cursor crosshairs or changing from dark theme to light theme. It could be useful being right in the Interface, but there comes a point where it's just too much going on to be productive. I think that the fact that the feature can be a sensory overload issue anyways makes it good to be stored away in preferences. I certainly agree with making it something we can turn on/off though. Definitely a good call on Bluebeam's part, IMO.
@M1ndstorms - That would be cool, but are there any other customizable key bindings that are held down? I think it's not really in the cards with the way the program functions.
I have created a few 3D PDF's using the add in within Revit but have been unable to view these on mobile devices. when the PDF is opened it just shows a white screeen but when opened on a computer it opens just as expected and is able to be orbited around in. i have tried multiple apps (bluebeam cloud, adobe acrobat reader…
Is there a way to have an option to include the page number as a prefix when selecting a page region for label? Only ask for this because I often will create page labels based on page region but it would be nice to include a method of retaining the page number in the label for extraction as single sheets, the plans are in…

Now that the option to switch from Markup mode to View mode has been removed from Revu 21, is there a way to lock markups and comments so that you don't accidentally move or shift them while panning around in the file?
How would you remove hyperlinks in a document on a mass scale? Not going to each one and changing it's action, but listing all hyperlinks in one location and removing all in one fell swoop. I've looked thru the markup list to see if there was a way to display a list of all the hyperlinks in the document, but it doesn't…

Is there any way to change the default from feet and inches to decimal feet? IT is a pain to change it every time I need a dimension. It did not used to be locked into feet and inches.
So , my question is that i'm noticing that the tools in the toolchest will automaticly rearange themselves in a surtain order. I believe only a few updates back this was not the case or a lot less. I could be mistaken as i,m still a relatively new user. Is it not possible to keep your tool in a surtain order and they dont…
I just updated to Revu version 21.7 and the tool that I used to snap dimesnions in length is now very wonky to use. It pulls fom the corner and not the centerline. Is there any way to revert it back to the previous version without abandoning 21.7 altogether?
Is there a Tool set for Audio-Visual? I use Revu for marking up drawing sets for the addition of A/V. I need to add things like data drops, electrical outlets, speakers, microphones, wall mounted monitors, etc. Does something like this exist in Revu? I have looked and cannot find a Audio-Visual specific tools.
