Markups List

Zoom Fit Markups when selected: When enabled, the main Revu workspace will jump to the location of the markup on the PDF when a markup is selected in the Markups list.

Show Measurement Value for Dominant Markup Only: When markups are grouped, the values of the measurement columns (Count, Length, Area, Wall Area, and Volume) are automatically summed for the group item in the Markups list when all the markups in the group support the given measurement. Enabling this option causes these values to default to their equivalent values in the "dominant markup" (that is, the first markup selected when creating the group) of the group.

Use Rich Text for Comments: When enabled, comments in the Markups list use rich text format (RTF), as defined by the markup's properties. Otherwise, comments in the Markups list use uniform formatting.

Wrap Comment Text: When enabled, text in the Markups list is wrapped based on the width of the Comments column.

Exclude Filtered Markups on Export: When enabled, causes any markups that have been filtered out to not be included in Markups list exports.

Filtered Annotation Dim Percent: Sets the dimmer level of the annotations when the filter is being used.

Layers

Hide Child Layers when Hiding Parent Layers: When enabled, hiding a layer will automatically hide that layer's child layers by default.

Show Layers on Page Only: When enabled, the names of layers that are not on the page being viewed are hidden from the Layers tab by default.

Dial: Select an option that determines the behavior of the Surface Dial when it interfaces with the Layers tab on a Surface Studio device. Options include:

Isolate: Shows only the current layer.
Build: Shows each layer scrolled through in progressing order.
Select: Scrolls through layers without changing the view. Press the Surface Dial to select the current layer, either hiding or showing it, depending on its current state.
