Adjust Polyline S2S with Manual input

Im trying to adjust my polyline sketch to scale mark ups that I use for estimating and the only way I can get it to work is by dragging the control points. Is there a way to click the markup and edit the length via input. EX) Clicked line is 8'-10 1/2" I want to round to 9'-0" so I have to hold shift and drag the control point until the desired length is met.

When I open my properties I can see the length under the General drop down but it is not editable.

What I do in this instance is draw a reference scaled line. Then you can select your reference and your markup to be adjusted and use your alignment tool to match the width or height of the reference. Unfortunately, Bluebeam does not have in the properties windows a way to adjust the scaled dimension. i.e. change from 8'-10" to 9'.

What it can do is use math. If your scale is say 1/4" = 1' and you're changing 8' to 10', the dimension in properties would be 2.0". You can do +2/4 and it will return 2.5 in your dimension. Likewise, if you're adding 2", +2/12/4

I'm not aware of any way to edit a length of a S2S markup once it is placed, other than moving the control points @MACallisonPCL.

A couple of ideas that might get the measurement to display the way you are looking for though:

Set your units of "Ft" instead of "Ft-In"
Set your Precision to "1"

This might get you what you are looking for.

Hope this helps. 😎
