hi guys uh GREG here and welcome back to SITENG where you will find all interesting stuff about
life and work of a civil engineer and in today's video guys uh i'm gonna show you the bluebeam here
again and we're gonna be starting doing the markups which is very important thing for us
engineers as we want to keep the information flowing in the in the nice manner really and
while we keep the information on site we're using the markers and the mark ups this is very good
but to keep information in a professional way and especially when we're dealing with a client
and with a designer and all these guys really uh we want to do it and as i said in a professional
way so let's have a look how to do these mark ups and how actually blue be making our life easy so
guys as you can see on the last video here once we're gonna jump in tools uh we got the mark up
here and uh we're gonna be taking whatever we need really from here but what i wanna mainly show you
in today's video we're gonna create a few tools and we're gonna put them in our toolbox you can
see here now there is a tool chest and going to be my tools and we're going to be creating some tools
when we're going to be used so the most important thing the most used thing guys is actually i'm
using the rectangle so i'm going to put r for it and as you remember this is catching here
so let's see we're going to put it for now a rectangle like this and once we created it we
got the options here so we can change the line if if you want to change the color of the line
we want to pick from here i'm going to go for black you if you're going to take thickness of
the line we're gonna we can go from uh maybe for instance here three points you can see the line
and uh i always fill it here with a yellow color but what i wanna do i wanna highlight
this that's the most used option here and in terms of markup i think that's the most useful option so
i'm going to go guys here to the settings on the left hand side i'm going to press it here and i
got everything here so i can actually change it from here as well but what i want to press here
i want to press highlight and as you can see here this is highlighted now with my black border here
around with three points here and we can obviously do some scaling some other stuff but it doesn't
matter once we create it here we can right click it here and we can add to my tools here
from from here so we get my tools we can also once we got it here we can also add it from uh
here we can press here you got it add to tool chest as well so that's the same so i can add
it actually we're gonna have probably two so number one number two so guys the great thing
about it the great thing about my tools and that's the most used by me really it's wherever i'm gonna
press number one here i'm gonna have a rectangle with my settings here so you can see the border
is the same it's a yellow highlight so i don't need to press all the stuff again but the most
important thing and that's what i like the most here i'm going to go back here to my tools and i'm
going to double click it here and as you can see that small icon change a bit and what that means
now whatever i'm going to press number one and i'm gonna take my tool here i'm gonna be one and i'm
gonna be creating whatever rectangle i want with my settings that's absolutely fantastic i love it
and then uh we're gonna be obviously setting some other tools as well whatever you're gonna
be using if it's gonna be arrows if it's gonna be lines whatever settings you're going to put and
put it then to your tools and then you're going to be using just by clicking one two three so
imagine how that speeds up all the process whenever you're going to be dealing with the
drawings and you want to show something so what i'm going to do guys now maybe i'm going to uh
i just delete this one i don't need it really and i'm gonna go maybe here i'm gonna show you uh i'm
gonna use a polygon here uh just to show you how easy it is if you got some strange shape you maybe
remember from my last video i got i got a snap here so that's another great thing about the blue
beam here so let's see we got a not the typical shape uh let's go we got some strange pool or
wherever and i'm gonna go here and in this case i can actually press c it's gonna close the polygon
and i can go and do the same story here we can feel it maybe this time with the green one
i go maybe here settings highlight and i can add it actually i'm going to go from here i'm going
to add it to our tool chest so my tools and that's number two and what i'm going to do i just double
click it as well i don't want the same option here so whatever i'm gonna press now number two
you're gonna go for polygon and i can do wherever i like see and that's what i got so this is great
guys i think i don't have to say too much about it you can see yourself how easy marking up is
now and uh what i have to tell you obviously on site you're going to be still using sometimes
you're going to have drawings on the wall you're going to be physically marking them
with the highlights which is also good but the guys uh imagine this this is the 21st century so
once you want to send the information to someone you want to show something in a nice way
guys please do it this way sometimes if i see some scans and all the stuff this all looks like from
1990s so forget about the old days guys and start working this way showing that the information
proper way so it's clear and everyone sees what it is so guys uh what i'm going to set maybe as well
here i'm going to go here you can see tools we got all abbreviations here so i'm going to t4 text
and a for arrow so i'm going to use a here for arrow let's say like that and i'm going to change
this arrow i want it a little bit uh bigger here and i'm going to i'll maybe keep it the red color
i'm happy with that and what i'm going to do now again i'm going to add it
as my number three should be there my tools yeah i got that arrow now so wherever i'm gonna press
number three here i'm gonna have my arrow wherever i want i'm gonna mark it here so great thing guys
and what i'm gonna do i'm gonna go for t for text and i'm going to write something here
okay that sounds good and i'm going to change it as well as in terms of writing i want to i want to
actually black color here and i'm going to go back here with it so we can see here what i'm going to
do now i'm going to go actually feel a white so we're going to see this information here and i'm
going to change the font weight as well let's say 26 yeah that sounds nice uh i'm going to extend it
a little bit so you can you can always work this way extend that box i'm going to go back here
i just changed the border for black so you can see here you got font here so you can change
actually the font itself you got a font weight and the color of the phone is here so i'm going
to change it for black here i added as well to my uh toolbox as number four in this case so
to tool chest my tools and that's number four but i delete it for now uh and just maybe we're going
to do the quick exercise let's say we're going to mark up quickly we pulled something from gridline
a14 to a17 so how quickly it is guys you look it's press number one bank this is the markup here
what we got here number four now and that's the poor number one and date whatever it is let's say
that's going to be 24 12. so we are pouring at the christmas eve so that's guys how easy it is you
got all markup you got poor obviously when you're marking your pores you probably put how many cubic
meters you poured while we're here guys and we're talking about the writing maybe how you can check
it you can actually mark it here you can go to the style and you can just uh not line but you can
just press here and that's it and that's cubic meters so that's great as well just quickly one
click there and it looks like it should be looking uh we can just maybe go out the box
make a little bit smaller and look how lovely it is guys so i think that'll be all in today's video
covering the markups the main thing for today would be the creating my tools and once you're
gonna download your trial version on once you got your uh blue beam ready that would be the most
important thing guys this is making your life much much easier and then you're not gonna be actually
taking from your tools here markup tools as you're gonna be using your shortcuts there so uh i think
that's absolutely fantastic as i said before and that makes uh our life much easier wherever you're
gonna mark something you wanna send something to architect or you you want to be marking whatever
work you've done already like here in this case that's the great thing guys and uh in the next
video guys i'm going to start showing the measures here as well as this is i think actually the best
thing in bluebeam when we're going to be measuring we're going to put the scale into the drawing and
we're going to be working with which you're going to see it's great because if the drawing is not
too scaled even we can still use it and that's the best thing guys guys i hope you enjoyed this
video and if so please don't forget to leave the thumbs up and subscribe to the channel as well
and this is helping to reach out to more people and to get them a chance to see how the life and
work of a civil engineer looks guys so thank you again for watching and see you next time
