Custom Man Hours Column

Curious if anyone adds a "time" or "man hours" columns in their markups list when doing takeoff. I have some ideas but unsure if they will actually be useful. For example: 10 LF of footing = 1 man hour.

Does anyone have any tips on adding custom columns on their markups for time?

I already utilize it for material cost per foot. (which is awesome)

You can do pretty much anything you want with a Custom Column.
Just create a Man Hours Numbers column and then you can add whatever you like in there.
Then its just some calculations in the Markups list.

If you really want to learn how to create Custom Tools come and check out the Champions Show and Tell series on Tool creation.
In my session, we'll be covering using Custom Columns with your markups.

Feature Request: Add "Crop" Functionality to Snapshot Markups
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).
