For today's tip, we'll dive into how to use Bluebeam's Dynamic Fill tool for area calculations. This feature can significantly streamline your workflow by allowing you to quickly and accurately calculate areas in your PDFs.

Here are step-by-step instructions to effectively use the Dynamic Fill tool:

• Open Dynamic Fill: Go to the "Measurement" tab and click on "Dynamic Fill." This will open the Dynamic Fill toolbar.
• Adjust Settings: Before starting, make sure to adjust the settings to match your project's requirements. You can set the boundary size, fill size, and even customize the colors.
• Define Boundaries: Use the "Add Boundary" tool to trace the area you want to calculate. This helps in defining the exact perimeter for the fill.
• Fill the Area: Click on the "Fill" button and move your cursor into the area you've defined. The tool will automatically fill the space, making sure it respects the boundaries you've set.
• Apply Measurement: Once the area is filled, you can apply various measurements like area, perimeter, or even volume by clicking on the corresponding measurement tool in the Dynamic Fill toolbar.

Using the Dynamic Fill tool not only saves time but also ensures accuracy in your area calculations. It's especially useful for complex shapes and irregular boundaries, where manual calculations would be time-consuming and prone to error.
