Create a Consolidated Markup from Existing Markups

When working with multiple markups on a plan sheet, you may want to merge all visible markups along with your own new annotations into a single, consolidated markup. By ensuring the markups you want are visible, then adding your updates and saving them together, you can create a unified markup that’s easier to manage, share, and review. You can create a consolidated markup using:

• Markups created by you

• Markups shared with you that you have permission to view

• Markups added to plan sheets as supporting attachments for items such as RFIs, Submittals, Punch List items, T&M work, etc.

To create a consolidated markup

• Ensure the correct plan sheet is open and the markups you want to combine are visible. (See View Markups if you need help loading existing markups.)

• Add any new markup elements to the sheet as needed.

You can:

• Edit existing elements if needed. 
• Identify an element by clicking it in the Layer Editor—its corresponding element will be highlighted on the drawing.
• Remove elements that are no longer needed.
• Rename elements directly within the Layer Editor.

• Once you are satisfied with all the elements in the consolidated markup, save it as a new markup.

By default, the markup is set as private and visible only to the creator. To provide access to other team members, you need to share the markup. You can set access restrictions so that the markup is shared only with the persons and companies you specify. See Set Access Rights for Markups and Download Plan Sheet Markups for more guidance.
