Hi @yohanj25 - you can try resetting the scale when the new drawing comes in using this tool: Under "Drawings" tab > select "Reset Calibration" A step by step guide would be: 1. Create a new revision 2. Promote the original drawing to the new one. 3. When it's imported select the scale at point of import OR 4. Alternatively, you can import it, check what the scale is from the drawing notes and then go to your drawing properties and amend the scale there. 5. Equally, once your new drawing is imported, you click the Reset Calibration button as demonstrated above and then either select the calibration of X or Y axis and calibrate your drawing 6. This will update for the new drawing but the old drawing on the old revision, will remain as initially intended. Hope that helps!

Hi @iradukundabenjamin2793, you may turn on subtitles / closed captioning on the bottom right, second icon of the display bar. Hope that helps!

Hi @Dynamicestimators, thanks for your interest! Please contact us via the form here www.rib-software.com/en/contact-us and the appropriate team will get back to you shortly.

Hi @aditirawat676, there are 2 ways you can show notes, you can either add a custom quantity field in your dimension group and populate this in measured dimensions with whatever comment you need. You can also use our 'Create MarkUps' tool which is located in the Dimensions tab under the 'Show' section. If you hover over this, it will detail how to use this function. Hope this helps!

Hi @wiebittetube, this is correct - it's completely flexible, there are no confines in the calc sheet, if you had a different figure - you would simply enter this and have it as a different named cell, which can be referenced anywhere.

Hi @wiebittetube, I'm glad you enjoyed our tutorial! If you're talking about receiving new drawings as part of a revisioning process, then the use of our Revisions functionality might be better suited. When using revisions, after a drawing is promoted to a new revision (with a new drawing file selected), the dimensions taken on the previous drawing are displayed on top of the new drawing in the drawing window. Hope that helps!

Hi @raiska1003, so if the item you're measuring is in the same dimension group, then it will remain highlighted on the drawing so long as the dimension group remains selected. If you're trying to measure in another dimension group, but you want a measure from another dimension group displayed on the drawing, you simply select the dimension group you want to see on the drawing, then in the 'Current Folder' you select which dimension group you want to measure in. The 'current folder' can be found right underneath the dimension group tab with a drop down menu. Hope that helps!

Hi @yohanj25, thank you for your question! You will need to make the BoQ Item A at Level 1 a 'Named Cell'. To do this, you just need to right-click the cell and select 'Name Cell' from the menu. When the window pops up you can name it something appropriate i.e. 'BoQ Item A'. Once you've done this, you can go to Item B on level 2 and use the formula =XGETNAMEDCELL("BoQ Item A",2)-'backfilling quantity'. The backfilling quantity can be a cell reference i.e. C1 or can be an entered amount, it could also be another named cell. There is further information on this in our help guide which is the question mark (?) button in the top right of the screen or you can press F1 on their keyboard and search 'Named Cells'. Hope this helps!

@@RIBCostX Wow, it worked! Thank you for your support. Also, I would like to learn more in-depth about CostX functions. Do you have a separate guide for this purpose?

​@@yohanj25 you're very welcome! Yes, there is lots of info on this in our help guide, if you press F1 whilst in the software, our help guide will appear, you will then have the opportunity to search for 'Workbook Custom Functions' and there is a whole article on the different functions that CostX offers. There are around 30 functions that can be used in workbooks and in some cases can be used in Dimension Groups. Hope this helps!

@@RIBCostX Thank you so much! I will go through with it. If possible, please do a video series on those functions with some examples. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Hi Alex, Unfortunately we don't have that functionality yet, but this is something we are looking to include in a future release. Hope this helps!

@@RIBCostX Good to know but doesn't help, the process to extract drawing is a tedious process currently.

Hi Jose, best to take a look at our Drawing File Optimisation document! The information can be found here: www.rib-software.com/en/client-resources/rib-costx Hope this helps!

Hi! The reason for the difference between the hip/valley constants and the roof rafter constants is due to Pythagoras theorem, where the hip/valley forms the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle made up by the rafter, ridge, and hip/valley lines i.e., if you look at a hip/valley on a roof plan, it will be at 45 degrees to the rafters and its length will be longer than the rafters that run straight up the roof. Therefore, hips and valleys gain the same height (eaves to ridge) as the rafters but over a longer distance, causing their gradient or pitch to differ from the rafters. Hope this helps!

Hi, You can make modifications to the Standard Reports by editing, which allows you to customise the layout. However, if you require further customisation, we also have our Custom Report Writer available.
