Hi everyone! Welcome to the September Monthly Challenge: Data in Disguise! This month is all about showcasing how you use markups as more than just visuals. Markups may look simple at first glance, but often they carry a lot more information. From measurements and quantities to statuses, costs, and notes. Markups can be…

I know how to grant permissions from Revu 21 but can I grant studio project permissions from the cloud or app based applications or does it have to be strictly completed through the desktop application of Revu?

I'm looking to understand certain limitations and request that Bluebeam allows for users to opt out of the restrictions currently put on sessions to offer a more collaborative environment within sesesions. I have (3) issues currently with Bluebeam that seem unnecessarily restrictive. Ability to Replace Pages within a…
We use custom tools for review, therefore we have many of the same markup (text box, Cloud+, Callout, Note) but each has a different color scheme & subject. I'm working on updating the margins, text size, line spacing, line thickness, hatch scale, etc. for all the text boxes for each type; but if I select two of the same…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
When selecting a markup to use such as one that measures area for carpet, while in the process of using the markup tool, the wall lines are totally obliterated by a solid line that is impossible to see through no matter what the opacity setting is of the line. This leaves the markup a matter of guesswork as to where the…
Hi, I have just updated my bluebeam last weekend and when i am trying to measure, there is now a thick line which blocks the view of my clicking point. i have line weight disabled already. Its just when i am measuring via length, Polylength, area etc. it has slowed up my measuring process as i cant click on the points I am…
My team discovered something this week We received a set of drawings under NDA which had the name of the company blacked out. However, whoever did this ‘redacted’ them incorrectly. It appears that they used a highlighter tool to do the redactions, made it black, and then did an unrecoverable flatten. (I assumed this…
At any given time, I typically have over 100+ files listed in my Recent Files tab. While not all are open simultaneously, it would be extremely convenient if Revu included a search function within the Recent Files tab. This would allow me to quickly locate and reopen a previously accessed file, rather than having to scroll…

Currently the line style and width of the callout leader is combined with the line style and width of a box/bubble, etc. that surrounds the text. The properties control of these two items should be independent. For example if I do not want a box/bubble, etc around the text then I am stuck with the line width of leader and…
Description: In previous versions of Bluebeam Revu, holding the Ctrl key while drawing a line (or other markups) would temporarily disable all snapping functions (Snap to Content, Snap to Markup, Snap to Grid). This was extremely useful for quickly drawing freely without needing to toggle snap settings on and off. Since…
For markups, we would like to be able to assign the built-in cloud line type for open polylines. The cloud markup tool automatically closes the polyline and that's perfectly fine as is. But in rare occasions we would like to have an open cloud.
Hi everybody, since the installation of Windows11 and the last update Bluebeam, the comma button un the number field is not working anymore. in Excel, Word ect. he's working. Someone an idea
This morning I did a batch overlay with a set of over 150 pages. What I would like to know is if I can modify the alignment of pages once it has processed? I would like from it using page region to reprocess individual pages as auto alignment.
I get this weird football goalpost-looking line when trying to find a length. Also, for smaller measurements, when I zoom in, the length value disappears. It only appears AFTER i click the 2nd point. I then have to zoom out, guess what the appropriate length is, and adjust it time and time again until I get it correct.…
Hello. I use LogMeIn to access my workstation remotely. LogMeIn disconnects randomly all the time. Whenever this happens, Bluebeam stops functioning. I'll have any number of PDFs open at once (up to 10 or more). I can still see the PDFs on screen but I have no ability to pan or zoom or use any tools. I have to close each…
Hello everyone! Can someone please tell me where the experts are on utilizing BB cloud on an iPhone in conjunction with their BB revu on their laptop! I have too many questions to ask here!🙄
I downloaded and installed the new version of Revu this morning and am not able to find this new feature. I see that applications to beta test are open, does that mean that this new feature is coming later if you are accepted for beta testing?
I found this support article, but I don't see the options shown in the screenshot to send to Cloud. At the bottom of the tool set menu I only see Manage Tool Sets, there's no Send Tool Sets to Bluebeam Cloud.
The last couple of weeks I have had a problem. When I click on a Session it starts to load it and then kicks me out of the Session and gives me this exact same message: After I select OK I can re-enter the Session I was trying to review without an issue. This happens every time I enter a Session that I was not in recently…

I'm not sure how long ago this changed, but it was pretty recent…. I used to be able to make a legend from my tool counts per page by selecting the counts to be per the "current" page and then at the begining of the document on the cover page I could create a Master Legend with the Total Counts that had ALL the counts from…
Many of my customers organize their Recent Files into Categories. What is the best practice to get this handy piece of user settings across into a new Bluebeam setup? I used Ctrl+K > Admin > Backup / Restore, but the Recent Files content seems to be not in the UserPreferences.xml. Anyone here to tell me where it is and how…
Hi All. i have reached out to the support team, but without getting the needed help. They wrote that the problem was due to the drawing being "large", but the problem is not connected to all large drawings. The Drawing is not responding dynamic to zoom, but keeps loding in small bites/fields, making the it slow to work…
When extracting pages, I currently have to either: Select all pages first, then use Extract [Ctrl+Shift+X], or Go to Extract and change the page range dropdown from Selected to All Pages. Is there a way to skip these steps and have All Pages set as the default so I can extract the full document with a single click?
While I do love the ease of the built in browser functionality in Revu, I'm wondering if there is a way to have a link that opens outside of Revu, in an external browser (ie: chrome or edge), and is connected to markup. I've found several issues with the Revu Browser Youtube links only play at low resolution Several links…
Hi all. Anyone else having a problem since the latest update, where you go to change a line size & it jumps up to highlight?
When I open a set of plans in Bluebeam, I get hundreds and many times thousands of items that automatically populate into the Markups List. I try to delete them but it won't allow this to happen. Does anyone know how to get rid of these or stop them from importing? They are mainly random labels, words or drawings…
