Hi everyone! Welcome to the October 2024 Monthly Challenge! Last month, we explored how you add your "Seal of Approval" to documents, whether through signatures, stamps, watermarks, or other methods. We saw some great responses and a variety of methods across the community. This month, we’re shifting gears to focus on…
This week, we’re highlighting Layers in Bluebeam Revu. Layers let you organize content, making it easy to show or hide different elements like markups or design details. How have you used layers to keep your documents organized?
We create a lot of 3D PDFs and often times we need to adjust the colors of elements. Currently it is possible to select multiple elements in the 3D Model Tree, but when you go to change the color, it unselects the others. It would be great to be able to change the color of multiple elements at once.
Wondering if anyone else is having an issue with Bluebeam Stamps (and sometimes text) disappearing, specifically in Studio Sessions? we have noticed it multiple times. Typically the user who placed the stamp is able to see the stamp on their end, but other users can not and these stamps can get lost when finishing a studio…
Extending the search capabilities with logical and wildcard operators would be very useful. Search is a bit basic.
UPPERCASE TEXT; a tool to be able to change lower case to upper case text.
We typically have quite large review sessions that can reach thousands of markups from dozens of users. Many of our users, as well as our suppliers on the receiving end, ask for better ways to organize markups. Most commonly to group a set of markups to discuss at coming meetings or to assign to different users for further…
Hello BB Community! I find myself in a bit of a pickle. I have since taken all the data and produced what I needed in Excel but I would like to find a consistent workflow for sorting items to generate a table similar to this. I assume there is a far better way of doing this than the way I ended up doing it but want to…
I ran into this issue while using Studio as part of a project: I needed to change my display name. I updated my account on studio.bluebeam.com per instruction but the change was not reflected on the studio as needed. After several consultation our IT support found this message with Bluebeam troubleshooting site. "When you…
The ability to do a search within a search would come in handy when i read through job specifications or while searching through prints.
Did older versions of Bluebeam (18, 19 etc) automatically match the dimension units to whatever scale you calibrated to? I feel like it did' but can't confirm since I've been updated. For example, if I am working in a metric PDF, and I calibrate based on an existing dimension of 6100mm within a drawing, the new dimensions…
Hi Everyone, I am a new Bluebeam Revu 21 administrator, and I was wondering if there is a way to bulk transfer ownership of all of the Bluebeam Session ID's from a session host that has left my organization. Thanks, Sammie
This is probably answered somewhere, but search does not appear to be working I am and Admin in a studio session, but I cannot change the status of any markups even my own. The Set Status sub-menu in the right click is blank. Any idea on why or how to fix? Not been an issue till recently.
I am tired of having to change each of my measurements from ft'in" to in" every time. I know I can select all at once and change them all to in" but was hoping I could default all measurements to in". TIA!
Since the removal of Projects from BlueBeam Cloud, we've had a hard time managing RFIs and Submittals for our new and ongoing projects. In about 2 weeks we will be kicking off a 11 month project that will require meticulous tracking, and documentation for RFIs and Submittals. Is there a current workaround for these two…
Any suggestions on how to create folders for every individual unit in 150-350 unit multifamily projects that can be organized by units per floor, includes items such as number of bedrooms, sinks, fireplaces, coat hooks, basically so when exporting in CSV that it will have all the items organized within that folder to make…
Hello Everyone, I am new here and I had a few questions I wanted to know if I markup a set of plans and after I marked it up. I want to number each outlet for example or light switch is there a quick way to do that? Is there a way to mark a certain length and have it evenly space a certain markup ie outlets over a 20 foot…
Has anyone come across a good workflow to help maintain the graphic quality of a PDF export from Revit, while minimizing the file size (aka reload time within Bluebeam)? We are seeing challenges with sheets that need to show hatch patterns (ex. life safety hatches), color, and on a 30x42 sheet size. I have tried to: reduce…
Does Bluebeam have a feature similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro that allows for comparing and summarizing the content of Tender Documents instead of just drawings? I know that Adobe Acrobat Pro can easily highlight the differences between two versions of a document and provide a summary of the changes, but I'm wondering if…
When you create a hyperlink to a space and look at it's property, you can see space and destination page and area. Anyway to export all existing spaces w/name, page and area?
Primarily, I use Autodesk Inventor from modeling to the Drawing. When I decide to print a drawing, I use the Bluebeam driver … From there, I go to Properties … and then on to Advanced … Here is where it becomes interesting … Within my Drawing Set, I have only 2 sizes of sheets, Tabloid ( 17"x11" ) and Letter (8.5"x11").

I downloaded the installed the MSI package for my 64 bit version of Revu. I clicked on the OCR MSI FIle yet I am clueless as the OCR error message…
Is there a way to automate some of the repetitive process in Bluebeam? Is there a way to integrate Bluebeam with automation software like Power Automate, Zapier, or Make? We would like to automate some of our processes in blue beam such as exporting markups csv, creating folders and adding files in studio projects, setting…
Hi, I'm newbie here, I want to join programing groups, like Autodesk forums to code using VB or other programming language, please let me know if that is possible in Bluebeam. Thanks
Hi everyone :) This is my first community question. Is anyone using Power automate with BlueBeam and if so for what?
