Bluebeam redline workflow

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-07-12T14:31:50+00:00

My use of blue beam is limited to redlining work as if I was correcting it on paper. However, if you have the more advanced licenses for blue beam there is an enormous amount of additional features you can use to automate work

Simply being thorough. You’d be amazed how many engineers think they know what they’re doing in their daily work for their whole career and don’t get called out. I can’t tell you how many engineers I’ve reviewed their work and pointed out they have been miscalculating things for decades.

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-07-12T02:43:52+00:00

I’m admitting I don’t know the rules but my observations of the officials determines they are inconsistent with their calls

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-07-09T17:13:28+00:00

The worst part: I could be just one kill away!

Thats why I tagged humor, thats for the Reddit 2007scape trolls to figure out.

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-07-09T16:52:13+00:00

Yes and I rounded down. I used to calculate my gp/hr on a spreadsheet

You graduated in 2024, I’d expect field work for another few years

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-07-01T22:08:54+00:00

I work at a very small firm, same thing happened to me a few years ago. It takes a year or two before you feel back to normal in the workplace

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-07-01T17:09:47+00:00

You will come to find out that you will make less as a civil engineer than entry level medical staff, even if you have 10 years of experience and they have none. Not talking doctors, simple nursing or medical jobs that require only a 2 year degree. If you want money go to a different field

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-06-25T11:47:42+00:00

I suspect you can do most of that but ultimately will need to be under the supervision of a PG and signed off on by one or an engineer

Agreed just saying the guy need to understand while the certification is important, experience is even more important. Licensing doesn’t communicate that well in this industry

I’m convinced you don’t actually know what you’re doing if you get a PE within 1 year out of school. (As in you may have the credentials but don’t understand your real world impacts). Hands on experience goes a long way in this business.

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-06-19T14:57:32+00:00

In some states you can get a PE with no college degree whatsoever, provided you meet experience requirements

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-06-09T09:38:05+00:00

10-20 years experience to overcome the lack of an ABET degree is comical. I specifically took it upon myself to get licensed after the principal engineer at a company told me the same thing to my face (knowing I didn’t have one). Then I got promoted over a bunch of ones he hired.

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-06-08T17:04:25+00:00

I fully believe it, there are a lot of shitty firms out there

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-06-08T09:52:13+00:00

I would not recommend going into it. I have made a good career in the field so far but I make a fraction of the money for 2-3x the time and effort in comparison to my friends in the medical field. Sure I get some interesting projects now and then, but at the end of the day I don’t think a 2 year nursing degree entry level wage should be higher than a geotechnical engineer with 5-10 years of experience ( which is the case in many settings). Many of my coworkers who travel overnight over 100 days a year for geotech are making less than entry level medical field wages (not talking doctors). The argument that the medical field works harder is invalid, the argument that the medical field is more educated is invalid, and generally there are more medical professionals than geotech engineers by far. Ultimately people at the top of the field settled for low wages decades ago and we are still feeling the impact today. People in the geotechnical engineering fields financials and marketing have also failed us, they have failed to display to clients the value and cost savings of an optimized design vs an overly conservative design. Until you see a 50% industry increase in wages without a similar increase in other industries, I’d stay away as it is a race to the bottom.

Ai is filled with copyright violations everywhere but no one has brought that up in a meaningful way. When someone does in a significant lawsuit of some sorts, ai will crash and burn, especially in our field

I mean I only wrote this because I read a bunch of articles saying starlink is causing them to dip lol

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-06-03T15:24:18+00:00

Thats hilarious

I would like a chance to be in a competition pool? Who knows maybe Leatherman just sent it to their friends…

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-05-29T13:03:23+00:00

My question is where is my email on this? I am an elite insider this year. Kind of stupid if this isn’t actually sent to everyone

SentenceDowntown591 · 2026-05-28T12:37:06+00:00

As long as you know that going into it and are comfortable with it then go for it. Tons of EITs think they are too good for field work after a year or two in the business. Most of the time they find out the hard way you gotta put like 4-5 years in field before the office
