For example, sometimes I want to take an aerial screenshot and overlay it over my pdf plans. To make sure it aligns I need to scale it correctly, and rotate it correctly. It would be very handy if I could…
So it would be really awesome if it would tell you the distance from the last count you placed. For example… I estimate fire sprinkler heads. I use the count function for my head placement, to get the total number of heads required for a project. There are NFPA codes though that state how for apart or close a head is…
Hello, we're working on adding custom tools with our own labeling for use in Revu. Count measurements have been very easy to integrate, but is it possible to add the Polylength tool with custom labels for the columns to the Tool Chest?
