SUMMARY:Practical Construction Use of Bluebeam Revu
DESCRIPTION:Bluebeam Revu is used daily by over 80% of construction firms in the U.S.\, but\, unfortunately\, not a lot of us use it well or efficiently. Bluebeam is designed for the construction industry\, but all too often the people it’s meant for don’t even understand what Bluebeam can do in the construction world. With Bluebeam Revu\, you can create as-builts\, directly modify PDFs\, define phases/zones\, link to details\, compare differences between documents\, even overlay PDFs to look for system conflicts\, and much more. This class is focused entirely on the tools and features that will provide the most benefit to people working construction projects in Bluebeam Revu. \nZenTek Consultants\, the nation’s premiere Bluebeam Partner\, will show you the most effective means of using Revu for Construction work so you can get the efficiency and intelligence you need from Revu. This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4)\, two-hour long sessions that students can attend online\, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions\, and address questions as the class progresses. \nMust attend all four sessions. This class will be held on 4 consecutive Wednesdays March 6th\, 13th\, 20th & 27th. \nSession 1: As-Built & Shop Drawings \n\nPDF Scaling and Calibration\nSketching to Scale\nAlign/Distribute/Size Objects\nDirect Edit of PDFs\nFlattening Markups\n\nSession 2: Construction Information Controls \n\nDefining Spaces and Places\nLinking Details & Specs\nBatch Linking\nAuto Labeling & Numbering\nLinked Table of Contents\n\nSession 3: File & Revisions Controls \n\nCompare Documents\nOverlay Documents\nBatch Overlay/Compare\nUsing Revised Documents\nSplit/Merge PDFs\n\nSession 4: Construction Document Control \n\nSharing documents in Studio\nSharing Document Sets\nTracking Custom Data\nIsolate Trades in a PDF\nTemplates\, Stamps & Legends

SUMMARY:Planning for the Day You Leave Your Business: Leadership for What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:You started and nurtured your business into what it’s become today. The journey\, whether measured over several years or a lifetime\, has had its share of ups and downs. Sweat equity is something experienced first-hand and can be measured.\n\nMany owners work “in” versus “on” their business. They seldom take the time to step back and examine their business as an outsider. Have you contemplated what comes next? How should you lead the organization so that the business thrives and your legacy\, however defined\, continues?\n\n“Nothing is certain but death and taxes” is an adage we’ve all heard. But business owners can add a third certainty: you will leave your business one day. Join us on June 1st at 8:00am and learn about a framework to prepare for that inevitable day so that you can leave on your terms: when you want\, for the money you need\, to the people you know and trust.
