- A separator that divides annotation layers
Correct answer: A defined polygon area used to organize markups and calculate area for takeoffs
A Space is a defined polygon area on a drawing that associates and organizes markups for area-based quantity takeoffs.
Question 4: When a layer is locked in Bluebeam Revu, which action is still permitted?
- Viewing the layer's content (Correct answer)
- Adding new markups to the layer
- Editing existing markups on the layer
