I don't see a way to resume a measurement once it's entered. There are times when I need to add more area to an existing area measurement or even extend a polyline by resuming the measurement. Count is the only one I see with a resume option.
@DerekCFor Poly Length or Perimeter measurements you should be able to right click on either end point and select "resume" (NOTE that you need to click on the end control point, not along the line).
Areas are a bit trickier, but can still be modified. Select the area markup that you would like to add to. Right click on the side that you want to modify, click "control point" and then "add control point". You can then drag that new control point to where you need it. Repeat as necessary to capture the additional area.
FWIW I try to break complex areas into smaller sections as inevitably I end up need to adjust limits of work and this saves me from having to split larger areas into smaller ones.
Hope this helps. 😎
Thanks for the tips Dave. The single control points comes in handy if just a small change but on larger changes like a new parking lot or extending the lot it's just too cumbersome to do it that way. Hopefully they add this in the future, most take off programs I use have this feature, I am really shocked as to what is lacking in this software considering how powerful it is.
Completely understand @DerekC! I'm hoping that they will add some sort of "merge areas" feature at some point.
FWIW I have shortcut buttons for adding and deleting control points on my toolbar:
This makes adding points a bit more efficient as this keeps the add (or subtract) points "active" so I can add a bunch of points and then drag them to where I need them relatively quickly.
To build on @David Cutler's response, in lieu of right clicking to add a control point or using the button you can also use keyboard shortcuts. Hover your mouse over the edge of an area markup and hold SHIFT, you will see a Plus button appear next to the cursor indicating "Add Control Point". Holding SHIFT and hovering over an existing control point you will see a Minus appear indicating "Remove Control Point". Holding CTRL and hovering over an existing Control point you will see an Arc appear indicating "Arc Segment".
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Request is for the ability to group open PDFs into tabs, similar to the way that Microsoft Edge allows for web pages to be grouped together into tabs (Edge allows you to take a number of open websites and add them to a named / color-coded group tab. This allows for multiple websites to be open, but organized into group…
Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G). Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take…
