Hi everyone! This Halloween, we’re tackling something that can be just as scary as ghosts and goblins—cluttered documents, messy markups, and disorganized projects! 👻 This month’s challenge is Creepy Clutter Cleanup! We want to see how you clear the cobwebs out of your Bluebeam Revu projects. Do you have tricks for…
I manage our companies Tool Chest items of our products. After creating a Tool Chest item for all of our products, we not want to include additional Custom Columns in our Markups List exports for several aspects of our products such as price, cost, dimensions, heat loads, power requirements etc. At this point, the Tool…
Following on from my previous request that there be an option to Export to the current folder, can we also have an option to save the Batch Config file which is used by each profile. Having a single Batch Config file for a single profile may be okay but, I have multiple profiles which I switch between regularly. It would…
Is anyone else experiencing issues with their toolbars not displaying the icons in the order in which they have been set? I've only noticed this recently but, no matter what I try I cannot get the tools to display in the order that they are allocated in when you customise a toolbar. This applies to new toolbars as well as…

I finally figured out the best use for the typewriter tool. In the past, I've exclusively used Bluebeam for markups with the occasional form to fill out. Since most of my forms had built-in fields, filling them out was pretty easy. And those that didn't only had a few lines to enter manually. But recently I had some other…
Currently, the report shows who joined the session, but it does not list those who were invited but never joined. I suggest including all invited participants in the report, with those who did not join shown in a separate section. May also consider including the Invite Message Sent in the report. This information is…
By using the email feature, the emailed sheet took two weeks for delivery! Where are these files stored before sending or how did I initiate the 'send' button two weeks later!!:)
Currently, after sending an alert, there is no indication of which markup the alert was sent for, to whom it was sent, or when it was sent. Would it be possible to display this information on the markup - similar to how replies are shown - by using a red “!” icon that contains the alert details? Thank you.
Current leader lines on callouts have 2 control points which provide limited options for adjustment: My suggestion is to provide "Polyline Functionality to the leader lines. This way you could add control points and convert segments to arcs to provide more flexibility in how your leaders are displayed: The above example is…

Often it is necessary to remove a number of control points from a markup. Currently I'm aware of two ways of doing this: Select a point, right click and select "delete control point" then repeat for every point that need to be removed. Select the "Subtract Control Point" button and click on each point to be removed.…
I, for one, just wanted to say one final (and very large) THANK YOU to all the Bluebeam staff who helped pull off another amazing conference. The Keynotes were amazing, the sessions, the Hub (that place was Rockin'), the Bluebeam Bash at the National Building Museum, even the tour on Friday… simply outstanding. From all of…
It would be nice to be able to rotate hatches independent of the geometry it is in, or to be able to customize the angle or direction of that hatching. It would also be nice to edit the hatch properties without editing the other markup properties. For example, if you have a
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…

Hi, I'm new here, I searched the forum, but I couldn't find a similar question, sorry if I missed it. We recently auto labeled a file share with Microsoft Purview labels. Once we did this, we found our users were unable to open the files. We followed the guidance for integrating Bluebeam and were able to get past that…

Process is like this I recive a pdf with spaces from Archicad or other I create area measurements from Spaces Some measurements don't seem to inherit the space in markup windows What to do? Is this REVU…
Hello - When clicking on an established session I have been in before I get the spinning wheel then popup "Your connection to studio has been lost". After clicking OK closing window, it does open the session except it has "disconnected" me. Also does not show that in the Record that I have ever opened the session and any…
Anybody know what happened to the ToolChest checkmarks and "X" markups?
I have been having issue with my Bluebeam/Revu that prevents me from carrying on with my work. Sometimes when a file is open and in the middle of working with the file, the following message pops up (see snippet below), which locks me out of continuing the work and forcing me to "End program" and restart Revu again. This…
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?
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?

Hi All, I have single PDFs of my Arch., Struc. and Civil drawings. I would like to Slip Sheet new revisions of individual sheets into these plans separately and still have access to the previous revision's sheets. Is this best done through Sets or is there another way. Sets seems to be used to combine single PDFs into…
Does anyone know if there is a quick way (or any way) to do a bulk 'Find & Replace' on a markup? For example, I have x number of yellow widgets on a markup but the specification changes and I need to replace all the yellow ones with red ones instead. I want to be able to tell Revu to find all the yellow widgets, delete…
We have a team member who opened their own Bluebeam account. I need to absorb that account into my company account. How do I do that? Haven't gotten any help from Bluebeam when trying to ask them directly.
I see that there is a ellipse tool, but is there an actual circle tool? If so, where is it?
I would like to know if there is a way to search throughout a file or set to references a detail on a page? In other words, I want to do a reverse search from a fine detail, all the way up the drawings.
Hi everyone, I’ve been working with Bluebeam Revu for different construction projects, and while it’s been a great tool overall, I still run into a few challenges that I’d like to improve on. For example, scaling drawings accurately can sometimes be tricky when dimensions aren’t clear, and managing markups across larger…
Hi everyone, I’ve recently come across a few bugs while using Bluebeam Revu for construction estimating and takeoffs, and I wanted to check if anyone else has faced similar issues. Here are the main problems I’ve noticed: Measurement tools sometimes give inconsistent results when scaling drawings. Markups occasionally…
Is there a way to have an option to include the page number as a prefix when selecting a page region for label? Only ask for this because I often will create page labels based on page region but it would be nice to include a method of retaining the page number in the label for extraction as single sheets, the plans are in…
