初めて投稿いたします。 BluebeamRevuの社内導入を、主に積算業務にて検討しているのですが 「こんなタブレットを使っている」「この大きさのモニターを使っている」等の 他社様がどのような環境で使用されているかをお聞きしたいです。 現在弊社では現状ノートPC1台と24インチのモニターで、 モニターの大きさを変えるかiPadの導入等を考えております よろしくお願いいたします。
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
Hi everyone! AI isn’t built into Bluebeam Revu (yet 🤩), but that hasn’t stopped users from finding creative ways to use it! This November - December challenge, Prompt Power, is all about how you’re using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to enhance your workflows around Revu. If you’re part of the Bluebeam MCP Beta,…
If I put text on a page (text box or typewriter) and then use the Edit Action command to make a jump to another page, it will put a lightning bolt under the bottom right corner of the text box. Is there a way to make the lightning bolt to the right of the text? I have issues when I have the text in a list format the…
Will BB cloud have the ability to have multiple PDF's open on an iPad? When installing in the field our guys need to be able to flip through different plans, installation sheets and submittals and it looks like you cannot do this on cloud.
Currently, hatches in Bluebeam appear to be locked to the grid, making it difficult to precisely control where a tiled pattern begins. This is especially problematic when creating a 2x2 ceiling grid for lighting layouts. No matter how I move the hatch, I cannot shift the pattern’s starting point, which prevents me from…
Would really love if there was more of a seamless blend between all of these great features. I think perhaps Projects should be the primary system. However, the collaborative markups of sessions is so much better then the checking in and out of files in projects. I think any and all files that are added to a project should…
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 Bluebeam Community, With the recent announcement about the upcoming retirement of Revu for iPad, we want to share more about where we’re headed with Bluebeam on mobile. We’re not aiming to recreate Revu for iPad, and we’re also not trying to squeeze a full desktop experience into your hands. Instead, we’re focused on…
Is it a setting I am missing or do the sheet labels not show up in Bluebeam cloud? Below same project in Cloud and Client.
I would like the ability to create one line style that has multiple parallel lines, each being a different color. Having the ability to select the colors in the customization window is a different approach, but it would be a great place to embed standards that users cannot override in the properties. I would also like to…
Is there anyway to have multiple drown downs within the tool sets. For example, I do a ton of pipe take offs for construction projects and have a tool set labeled Water Pipes. That drops down into almost 30 different types and sizes of pipes. I would like to see it drop down and then show me additional drop downs that will…

While it is nice to be able to sort markups by column heading, it would be better if we could sort by more than one header without changing filters. Such as Subject then Label 2 column order functions.
I use the thumbnails panel mostly for navigating. I love that we can display label (I often grab the sheet number) and the scale. I would really like another feature to input the current revision and display that. This might even be a deeper feature that would need a bigger inputs. Ultimately it would be great to have a…
In Revu 21.8, when drawing an area markup, the settings for line opacity and thickness are previewed when conducting the mark up. This is blocking the view of the outline of the shape being measured. See the example below from Version 21.8: In previous versions, the line was very thin, blue, and allowed the user to see…
Can we get a RECTANGLE SKETCH TO SCALE that has control point options like the text box? The text box has 8 control points that keep the shape as a rectangle regardless of what points are moved. Currently, if one of the points is moved it turns your perfectly good rectangle into a wonky Polygon. If I wanted that, I would…
I'm trying to standardize our takeoff and would love to have more built in 'shapes'.
Hi all, I am posting to check if there has been any changes with support for fully independent windows when dragging tabs out. When I drag a tab away from the main window, the new window does not have the full toolbar, and minimizing one window causes both to minimize. I know I can open a new instance from the taskbar, but…
I have a client who is trying to mark up a set but is running into a situation where they can't add markups after a specific page. The prior pages are fine, but past the specific page they can't add any more. They are the only user who is having this issue, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Have I missed a…
Hi, support for PDF/A and all the different versions 1,2,3, a,b,u is not very common among all the different pdf-software out there. However all the more important is to have a good implementation and support for PDF/A in our best pdf-software Bluebeam-Revu and we actually need it very urgently. But PDF/A is just…
I have a form and am trying to mail merge data into the form. Could you please advise how do I create a .dfd file with my data that I want to include in the mail merge
I noticed that starting on 12/16 the invitation emails from BB for a Session no longer show the full Session title. They have always come in showing this example: You've been invited to Studio Session BP25-1257 Review 2 As of 12/16 the subject line is only showing this: You've been invited to a Studio Session Is everyone…
There is a black line that appears when converting from PDF to TIFF. It normally blacks out the title block but have had it black out parts of drawings recently. Is there any way to prevent this black line?
I have noticed when saving a file as PDF from Word the are sometime several bookmarks listed as "1". Bookmarks are created using Word headers, but there are never any headers named "1". Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?
It seems like every other day, Bluebeam requires me to sign in. AutoDesk doesnt. 365 doesnt. Please, please, please, have it stop. I use bluebeam on one machine, and it should know by its IP address and that its not be used fraudulently. Fix this!
Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue on a new laptop and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have an active Bluebeam Basics subscription, but when I sign into Bluebeam on my new laptop, I get a message saying my free trial has expired and that I need to upgrade to keep using the software. The same…
Hello, I am a Revu user who frequently works with right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Persian and Arabic. I would like to ask if there are any plans to improve RTL support in Bluebeam Revu. In particular, it would be very helpful to have: Correct right-to-left text direction in text boxes and markups Proper shaping and…

It would be nice to have a tool that would (assuming both the X and Y axises are the same scale) calculate scale from a known area on the set of plans. I have had two sets of schematic drawings come across my desk in the last month alone, that did not have the correct scale and did not have any labeled linear dimensions,…
This might be a really obvious one but I can't seem to figure out the best way to do this: I frequently mark up drawing sets for estimates wherein there are multiple pass-through trades under my scope. What I want to do is to be able to do takeoffs for multiple trades, giving them each their own layer that represents them,…
Hi, I am allowed to join the Bluebeam max beta and I am about to and I am willinig to do so. So we were told to just download an install Bluebeam Revu 21.8. I am confused, how to tell I have the beta version? in other words, if I do not have the beta version, how to download it? maybe I missed the point completely. What is…
It seems sometime in Dec 2025 the invites sent out from the BB Session no longer has the name of the document in the session invite. We use to see "You've been invited to Studio Session (name of session)" all we now see is "You've been invited to Studio Session" the name is no longer shown. Is this a preference? or has…
I use it a lot and would like to have it open at all times for quicker access. Even a keyboard shortcut would be nice, if there is one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -Wes s
Not sure if this is a bug. We are Fire Risk Assessors so are often need to either colour in a wall or change the colour of a door on floor plans. We also have to draw lines to show the length of a certain route. Here's what I've noticed: 1 = The fill colour choices for a Polygon are not the same as the Change Colour…
Cloud and Cloud+ color fills only are changing from 10% to solid. First noticed in a Studio session. When selected, the solid fill reads as 10% in toolbar and properties panel. If bumped up or down, it resets to 10%. The solid fills return after closing, leaving, logging out for all users. Comments exported and imported…
Hi I’m new to Bluebeam so quite raw, I’ve inherited somebody else’s toolbox, and I’m not allowed to change the items within the toolbox (company policy), so my reason for writing is within my toolbox there are lots of rectangles which I can’t rotate to line up with diagonal lines on my drawing templates i.e. school…
