Add "Volume Sketch To Scale" tool

Current closed shape Sketch To Scale tools generate area as their "primary" quantity. While a depth value can be entered in the measurements panel the volume value is only displayed in the "volume" column - the primary quantity is still an area.

Having the volume available in the markups list works well if you are exporting the data for further processing outside of Revu, but it would be handy to have the option to have the volume as the primary quantity when working strictly in Revu.

This discussion brings up something I have been incorporation into all of my profiles and workflows. I don't use the measurment panel except to set scale. I simply got tired of having to refer to the both measurement panel and properties panel to find all the information about a markup. I set up two or three "Height" custom number columns, a "Length" formula column (=length from the markup), and "Area" formula markup (=area from the markup), two or three "Width" custom number columns and a "Slope" custom dropdown column with roof factors attached to the appropriate pitch. Now everything is located on the properties panel.

This way everything is on one panel and I also don't have to worry about the units of measure that are built into the program that sometimes wreak havoc with formulas.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
