What’s the Best Way to Measure LF on a Curved Wall?
If you use Polylength, you can convert lines to arc segments by using the right-click menu. Then use the control points get it to align with the curve.
If you just want a measurement that doesn't show up in the Markups list, you can use the Center Radius tool and then turn on the captions. Why these tools don't show their properties in the Markups list is something that I've asked for but has not happened yet.
Since you probably DO want them to appear, go with what Jason said.
@ProGuard Asset Management how accurate do you need to be/do you want to see a curved markup?
Typically we use a Polylength measurement with multiple control points to provide a "chorded" length. This is similar to what was suggested by @Jason Artley, but don't go through the step of converting the segments to arcs. The measured length is basically the same at the tolerance level that we measure to - without having to fit multiple arc segments:
Hope this helps. 😎

@David Cutler Thank you! Trying to get as accurate as possible…..
How do I that?
That's a good question @ProGuard Asset Management! I can't say that I've done a deep dive into "accuracy" of my measurements. At this point what we are measuring is "close enough" for our workflow as we are typically totaling up multiple measurements and may very well round to the nearest 5 FT in the case of curb. At the price point we don't win or loose a project based on that item.
I suppose you could shorten the chord lengths between points on the curve. Mine range from 1'-4" to 2' in this example:
@Doug McLean or @Vince French might have some more "in depth" thoughts on this.
Okay, thank you!
Keeping the points as close together as possible is probably the way to go @David Cutler. As you have said these types of measurement are accurate enough for what we need - especially as when measuring kerbs we don't tend to take into account things like any sloping of the ground, etc…
curious as to why you're looking for that level of accuracy?
For most things, you're going to add 15-20% for waste anyways, so being out an inch or two isn't really going to make that much of a difference in most cases.
Was dealing with a designer who wanted that tyoe of accuracy….
Hi All, I need to send a share link of the Revised Arch. sheets in my Set to the printer. BB AI chatbot pointed me to Sets/Publish/Combine then select the option to "include only revised sheets". Sadly this option doesn't exist in my Combine window. Can anyone tell me where to find it or if there is another way to create…
I am opening Revu 20.3 extreme. It opens however it does not allow me to perform any functions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. Same issue. When i open revu 20.3, the window that says recover unsaved changes opens in the middle of the software screen. The item that it refers to was deleted from my pc. I also deleted…
I recently build a testing report for my field representatives that includes a javascript for some basic calculations. I wanted the form as easy as possible for my older field reps so I wrote a straightforward javascript that will automatically highlight, make bold, and show the result they are after. This form works…
Besteht die Möglichkeit, wenn ich die Deckenfläche markiere /ausmesse, dass gleichzeitig der Umfang angezeigt wird. Es ist doch erheblich aufweniger, wenn ich zuerst die Deckenfläche markiere und die m2 erhalte und dann nochmals die gleiche Deckenfläche abklicke um den Umfang des Randprofiles zu erhalten. Das könnte man…
How do I export all pdfs into one? I am going in a field visit tomorrow and I am trying to use a revu project in the field.
I have a user that as of this morning is experiencing an issue with typing spaces into any markup text entry field. Text boxes, Callouts, comments etc. The behavior is a bit hard to describe so bare with me. If the preceding character to the typed space is a letter or most symbols then the space does not appear normally…
Just recently I get this dialog box when using File/Open pulldown. I can use the Open From Disk button to get to the local server our files are stored. Does anyone know how this default changed or how to change it back? Thanks!
Why all of sudden are my files loading slow regardless of how I open them and how I change my hardware or rendering settings. I have been using Bluebeam for years with no issues like this until directly after the update. Below is the version I have…any help or insight would be appreciated..
Anyone else having issues with applying a markup filter and the drawings aren't graying out the filtered-out markups? Is that an error or an update to the latest version? I've got my filtered annotation dimmed to 40%
