  All right all you Civil Design folks out there – what kind of struggles are you having with Revu? Learned any new tricks that you could share with the group? I’m sure not everyone is on vacation… 😎

  I’m thinking of new ways of measuring things all of the time Dave but finding time to set them up is proving a problem.
  My foundations setup is structural instead of civil but is proving a massive time saver.
  I’m now concentrating on my workflow for measuring Brickwork and Scaffolding before I start in any new projects!

  Anyone have a way to not transfer all the viewport data from CAD into Untitled Viewports? Love having to delete them each time.

  OOPS! Thank you.
  Not directly civil but it is design and may have civil applications. The attached example is actually a cable ladder tray (could be in a vault or data room as shown here). I’m look for a tool that could have application in may trades, including civil. My question is….. what is best way to put the “ladder” object on a drawing without an impossibly meticulous effort? Thanks for any suggestions! Anyone have one of these objects in their toolbox?

    Marv, it shouldn’t be too difficult to draw the ladder using the line and rectangle tools, group it and then add to a custom toolset. If that does become too much effort, you can always use the snapshot tool to take what you want from a clean version of the linework or the legend.

      Did you end up working up some custom tools  ? I’ve been using some scaled markups that could perhaps be used to create your cable tray ladders. Depending upon how they are setup you could use them for layout and developing material lists…

  I would imagine this could be done with a custom line style, I would have to play with it.
    Member August 2, 2024 at 7:07 am
    Not knowing exactly what  is looking to capture I was thinking more along the lines of a bill of materials type markup workflow. First I’d establish standard scaled custom count tools – say 24″ x 10 FT cable tray, 24″ x 3 FT 90 tray bend, etc that could be placed on a scaled print. End result would be a count of how many of each piece you needed – and a layout drawing.

      The corner tool is smart, maybe a line tool connecting them would tell you how many 10′ pieces.

  So there are more than 40 of us in this group. Anyone have any new Dashboards that they would like to show off? Anyone have any questions for the group?

  David, I’ll be your Huckleberry!
  😎
  My Dashboard isn’t new but it is still working for me. I keep it in a Project Startup Folder and just change the name of the project. It has four pages that are all linked together. Looking forward to see some other peoples Dashboards.
    Member August 1, 2023 at 12:22 am
    Looks great Chad! Are you running more than one project / dashboard at a time?
      Member August 5, 2023 at 6:08 pm
      Points: 1,939Rank: UC2 Brainery Yellow Belt III !
      I am not. I have a separate project folder for each job and just rename the dashboard. I am sure there are some upgrades that could be made but now I am just too busy. And now that I say that it reminds me of the guy that is too busy to stop chopping at the tree to stop and sharpen the axe. Ha.

    Who is this  guy? Haven’t heard from you in ages my friend, must be pouring some serious concrete!
    Thanks for sharing. I think there are some really cool things you can do with Dashboards, but there aren’t enough use case stories to show the posibilities. I look forward to creating some content down the road once I get some big projects complete.
      Member August 5, 2023 at 6:11 pm
      I am very elusive Troy. Ha. It has been a totally different skillset setting up and leading superintendents rather than running a project. Still adjusting and figuring out my new normal. I am still using your name to my peers though. 🙂 And I was just touting your skills at our Chicago Bug meeting this last month. Angela Aff said “Troy is the BEST”!

        I appreciate that , I’m sure your leadership skills are paying off with the crew!
  Member August 1, 2023 at 12:19 am
  Hi Dave. I’ve started looking at using these but haven’t found the time to build anything yet so, will definitely be interested to see what others are doing!

  We use a dashboard for onboarding and general program/workflow training. Eventually I would like to code some quizzes and make this an actual training app.
