First off, I know I'm not a typical user - I keep Revu on one of my VERTICAL side monitors and have the Studio panel docked on the BOTTOM. I was recently forced to upgrade to Revu 21.11 because of the end of Studio support for my older version. Immediately I noticed the addition of the Attendee & Document search boxes in…
Hello there. New guy in here. Is there something somewhere where I can quick reference or add a section out of a codebook?
In our environment, we have "office workers" who predominantly have Adobe licenses and "field workers" who all use Bluebeam. I've recently been told when one of the office workers marks up/makes notes on a PDF with Microsoft Edge, this cannot be seen by the Bluebeam users. I've tested this and the notes can be seen in the…
Is there a way to undo a highlight without hitting "undo" which does get rid of the highlight. Yes this works but becasuse BB isn't perfect I now have to go back and set everything up again each time it highlights a section I DIDN'T want it to, which is often. I would like to undo without having to set it all back up…
Attached are the AISC shape sections as polygons in Bluebeam toolsets. Scale of toolsets is 1":25". I tend to copy the shapes I use often into a Commonly Used Steel Shapes tool set with the same set scale that way I don't have to scroll the list to find a common shape.
Previously, clicking an alert in the Notification tab led directly to the corresponding markup. However, now nothing happens when clicking it. Everyone in my office is experiencing the same issue, not just me. Please advise.
We've been busy this first half of 2026. This roundup covers the biggest releases across Revu, Studio, Bluebeam Web, mobile, and our Developer Portal. From AI-powered search and markup editing to a brand-new way to build documents right in your browser, to security controls that give admins the final word. 🚀 Bluebeam Max…
I have a document with floorplans that I have marked up with electrical icons from my tool box. Somehow the document was flattened and I can not access my markups, it is only with this tool box however. All of my other markups are unflattening. Another weird thing is when I went to unflatten it kicked my out of my current…
In the process of adding markups with embedded photos to a drawing set, I have noticed that if you mess up and place the markup on the wrong sheet, it can be very time-consuming to correct this. While you can copy/paste the markup itself, embedded media is left behind. This can be especially difficult if the photos are…
Can the Studio Session report include a summary list at the top which includes all invited participants? Right now only those who joined the session are shown. It would be beneficial to have a table formate at the top. The first column has all people in the session. Second column is for "invited", this would indicate those…
When you finish a session the files and the report are saved separately. The files can be saved to a session folder however the report is always saved someplace else. Someone could make a folder in advance and have the files and report save there. However it would be nice if the files and report could be saved to the same…
I regularly sit down with commercial directors and preconstruction leads, and these challenges rarely exist in isolation. It usually comes down to whichever area is under the most pressure that quarter. How I see Bluebeam Max supporting all four: 𝗪𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱. Get a credible number back to the client before…
Can the developers of blue beam please adjust the authentication protocols so that user passwords can be auto populated by browser password managers or alternatively via an authentication application. The need to re-enter a password every seven days to use blue beam is very, very frustrating, especially when considering…
I need help sorting out daily reports for different subcontractors. As of right now I separate them by individually extracting each page then finding the folder it belongs in, then copying the same format and changing the date. I fell though that there has to be an easier way to file these daily reports. I've tried making…
Is there a Tool set for Audio-Visual? I use Revu for marking up drawing sets for the addition of A/V. I need to add things like data drops, electrical outlets, speakers, microphones, wall mounted monitors, etc. Does something like this exist in Revu? I have looked and cannot find a Audio-Visual specific tools.
I have searched all over the various Bluebeam sites and cannot find the answer. Is there anywhere to download additional Tool Sets for the Tool chest. I'm specifically looking for Access Control, Security, and CCTV Tool Sets. TIA.
As a Construction Administrator, I receive many PDFs with digital signatures. When opening some of the PDFs, the sender's signature does not appear. It only shows the signature field box. I have found that if I use the Bluebeam Print to PDF, the sender's signature then appears. I am curious what is causing this. Thank you,…
Hi Folks, I have a question, do you have a way to calculate a volume for a cut or fill, (a tapered volume measurement). I have a way of doing this that may be a little complex. I am interested in what others may have come up with. Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
I am getting this error when I try to use the tool. I read online that it could be an issue with the PDF being corrupted but I downloaded the sample site plan that is used in the demonstration videos and I am getting the same error message. Anyone have an advice on how to deal with this issue?
Hello, I received an email from Bluebeam stating that I was a part of their beta testing community. I have explored the new features, such as offset and markup conversion, but I haven't found the AI prompt capability. Is this available with BluebeamMax beta? I have paid subscriptions for Bluebeam (premium) and Claude.…
I was tasked with creating custom symbols for my company and I' having some odd issues. After importing the toolboxes, some of the symbols are "missing" in the sense that they don't show up in the toolbox. If I hover over the location where it should be, all the pop-up info still shows. I can select the symbol and place it…
Is Bluebeam able to linearize a PDF for me, e.g. put the content in order so that web viewers can see it faster? On a related note, does uploading to Bluebeam Studio Session cause any PDFs to be linearized automatically? I have found https://university.bluebeam.com/how-to-reduce-file-size/1745236 and…
