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. 😎
What he said ☝️
@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.
Is their any way to import a "standard list" of measurement items that I could use on multiple projects without having to type them each time I start a new project. I.E. is their an import function that could facilitate this need?
Hi, I am wondering if I am the only one that has this problem lately. Why veiwing and editing plan sheets the program lockes up and I can't close it nor does it work any more. I have to end task it to restart it. This has happened several times in the last two weeks. Can anyone help me figure this out?
I created a new set with a set of 7 sheets; I then did slip batch to add 4 revised sheets. I saved that set file but then deleted it because I realized that it did not match one sheet (sheet name changed), but I would still like for that one sheet to supersede the old one with the same sheet number. When I go try to create…
Hi All, I moved some .pdfs in my studio folder around and that has wreaked havoc on the revisioning of my Set. Is there a way to remove the Superseded stamp and return the individual sheets to the current revision status? Thanks ahead, Ian
I run a Mac in my construction office. It is great, but the only point of friction is Bluebeam Revu. I have run Parallels with Windows, in the past, to keep Revu on my computer but (although it shouldn't) it inevitable slows the machine a little. I am currently using a sub-standard PDF viewer with limited construction…
With Bluebeam Prime, we had to invite all of our users to the Prime portal so, as admin, we could help with Studio issues for our members. With such a process, we had to develop some material to show what the user could expect. So far with the Admin Org, I am not sensing that same steps- it seems easy enough to invite the…
Did something change in Bluebeam on December 17th? Up through December 16th, the email subject line for all of my incoming Bluebeam invites were formatted with the project file numbers, name of municipality/project, and the submission type. Starting December 17th, the subject line for all of my Bluebeam invites say "You've…
自社のユーザが海外子会社の別の会社に移籍することになりました。移籍先の海外子会社ではBluebeamを別途契約しており、ユーザにはその別途契約しているライセンスを割り当てたい場合はどのようにすれば良いでしょうか？自社でユーザのアカウントをDeactivateしてから、移籍先でライセンス割り当てしようとしたのですが、メールアドレスが既に登録されているためか、割り当てできなかったとのことです。移籍先は同じ系列会社のため、メールアドレスは同じものを使っています。
I have a client who is trying to mark up a set but is running into a situation where they can't add markups after a specific page. The prior pages are fine, but past the specific page they can't add any more. They are the only user who is having this issue, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Have I missed a…
Hi, support for PDF/A and all the different versions 1,2,3, a,b,u is not very common among all the different pdf-software out there. However all the more important is to have a good implementation and support for PDF/A in our best pdf-software Bluebeam-Revu and we actually need it very urgently. But PDF/A is just…
