A new version of Start Using Bluebeam for Everyone is now available in Bluebeam University. It covers the same foundational Revu skills as the earlier course, with more ways to practice as you learn. Explore the interface, manage drawing sets, use common markups, save tools in the Tool Chest, and create Markup Summary…
as a Practitioner and workflow explorer, i like to support the fellow people and solve queries by screen recoriding videos instead of texts and snapshots, sometimes text and snapshots leads to more conversations but a small 30sec video can be better understanding and time saving, so I kindly request if possible please…
We NEED to be able to copy markups from BB Project documents without having to check them out first. If another user has the file checked out we are unable to copy. It's a real PITA. Thanks, Ryan
Ive been using the ipad version in the field for markups as I walk Cable/Coax lines. But the iPad version is crashing more and more as iOS versions are updated. I looked at the cloud version and it didn't seem to be anywhere close to parity. I'm pretty good with the windows version on my laptop. Have recently gotten a…
Hi all, I'm a site manager/plasterer foreman working in turnkey construction in Germany, using Bluebeam Revu for quantity takeoff (Aufmaß) based on the German VOB/C construction contract standard (specifically DIN 18350/18363). I've already set up custom columns in the Markup List and deduction factors, but I'd like to…
I'd like to be able to copy (CTRL-C) an object from a checked-in document. Right now I'll check-out the document but I have to make sure to undo the check-out, it's just a hassle
I hold a DAE in Civil Engineering and am currently pursuing my B.Tech Civil (Hons). Alongside my civil background, I have 3 years of solid experience working as a Pipe Support Draftsman / Pipe Support Detailer. I have extensive experience doing detailed mechanical markups (LTHW, CHW, BCWS, Condenser systems, plant rooms,…
I have two PDF files, each containing 10 pages. The pages in both files have the same labels. File 1 is "Temp Power R1" and File 2 is "Temp Power R2." I would like to create an overlay of Temp Power R1 and R2. The current overlay process works well except for one issue. My goal is to generate a single PDF containing all 10…
I am trying to export a list of project documents and version history. This would include new files uploaded and when they are changed. Currently I get a notification of changes from BB to email. I know there is a way to right click on each file and see a version history pop-up. Is there a way to export all project…
When marking up a layout, map or plan and you need to clarify an exact location for a repair, install, or removal; a picture says a thousand words and you want to pinpoint exactly where the picture was taken. I would like to have the option to create a leader line from an image.
Right now, both the Header & Footer page-numbering tool and Bookmarks/TOC generation are one-time operations. If you add, delete, or reorder pages afterward, "Page X of Y" stamps go stale until you manually reopen Document → Header & Footer and reapply, and any in-document TOC page (built via the…
Suggestion: Add an interactive keynote feature in Bluebeam Revu that links a keynote callout on a drawing to the matching entry in the drawing’s keynote legend. When a user hovers over a keynote tag—such as AD23, AD25, or AD27—Revu would display a small, non-obstructive pop-up containing the full keynote description. On…
In excel for example, you can press F4 to repeat last command. This would be a great feature to have.
When i change the page range to custom range there is no prompt to pick which pages i want to print specifically.
Hi, I would like to suggest an improvement to the background color settings in Bluebeam Revu. I often need to change the background color of drawings to reduce eye strain and make plans easier to read. I know there is already an option to change the background color, but it only becomes available when Dark Mode is enabled.…
In many electrical distribution projects, duct bank profiles show total trench lengths and the trench depths along the profile. For estimating purposes, I calculate average trench depth by dividing the measured profile area by the trench’s horizontal length. This is manageable for a few profiles but becomes time-consuming…
This has been an open ask since 2024 (see "Save Layer Collapse State") but it's still unresolved, so I wanted to bring it back up with a concrete use case. On multi-discipline data center electrical sets, our layer lists get long fast — power, lighting, low-voltage, fire alarm, each with sub-groups. Layer groups with…
So I am using quantity link to provide a actual completion percentage excel file used to track installation. It works well when I create the documents and use them locally, however when I ask others to use the file (it is basically one pdf and one excel in one folder) the linkage between the two files does not seem to be…
i just updated from revu basics to core. it says to sign out and sign in and it will be activated but thats not working…any ideas?
Is anyone experiencing an application failure immediately pops up when apps are opened 0xC0000142? We discovered it is caused by Windows Update release August 11, 2026—Hotpatch KB5120994. When it is removed, Revu 21 works normally. A work around is to run Revu 21 32 bit, but not fully functional. We have over 40 of our…
Can you please provide more details about 'Bookmark improvements' on Revu 21.11 update? Thanks,
Has anyone else experienced this? We use the person + icon within a studio session when we want to invite extra attendees. Their email addresses are added and then staff types a message which often includes critical information for the new attendees to get up to speed. But they are reporting that sometimes their invitation…
I had a number of instances where I would do counts on say fire doors and separate count common doors single separate common doors double and later find that Bluebeam has added them all together as 1 type. Seems to be when using the same shape and colour for the count. This could be expensive exercise if not picked up over…
I’m developing an AI automation workflow for construction PDF drawings and would like to integrate it with Bluebeam Revu/Studio. The workflow is: Our AI detects a zone/slab region on a PDF. It generates the polygon coordinates for that region. We want to programmatically create an Area Measurement markup in Bluebeam using…
I have downloaded Claude, verified the free version works with BB Max, Connected github and also set the MCB preferences in MAX for Claude connection. I have the 21.9 version uploaded and also have logged out of Claude desktop and BB and logged in again. Claude continues to tell me it is a push waiting from BB to have the…
Hi All, I have been using the same Set/.bex file for months now with no problems. However, today it will not open on Revu. I can open other Set/.bex files just fine. Are there any troubleshooting/ rebuild step out there I can try? I'm running Revu Complete Ver. 21.10 on Windows 11. Thanks ahead, Ian
