We have been asked to upgrade a community hall that was built in 1935
It needs new scissor trusses to replace the old sagging rafters. How do I calculate the pitch?.
The drawing is to scale at 1/4" - ft
Thanks
Murray

I have a snapshot that I saved in my toolbox. The picture went away and the tool was grayed out, so I deleted it. The empty snapshot got onto my document while I was doing this process. I did not realize it at the time and continued marking up the document. Everything else is working properly. Now I have the grayed out…
Hi—has anyone found a way to navigate the menu bar using alt and arrow keys (or something else)? I'm currently seeing that pressing alt highlights "revu" on the left, but no key can drop it down or shift the highlight to a different menu bar option (eg document).

Hello, I have used the Grab feature for years and it is one of my most frequently used tools. Recently, however, when I grab from one drawing and paste into another, the file size increases from around 1 MB to 2 GB. If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…

When working on a file, Bluebeam will freeze then shut down. It's been happening quite frequently. Why is this happening?
As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color.
