Hello Community 👋 We've recently done some technical exploration in supporting the PRC file format for 3D PDFs in Revu. If you are currently working with applications that export to PRC or workflows that require PRC for 3D PDFs, please post a quick reply and we'll reach out. @George Stamatakis
We currently deploy a solution that has a powershell script that copies our company made stamps to the C:\ProgramData\Bluebeam Software\Bluebeam Revu\21\Stamps folder. This has been working fine for a long time. With 21.10, we noticed that our script was failing. Turns out that on new installs of 21.10 (so not an update),…
We’re researching how location-aware PDFs could support workflows such as site planning, utilities, field verification, coordination, and plan review. We’re also exploring future opportunities to bring GIS and location context into Bluebeam’s mobile applications—helping teams connect field observations, photos, markups,…
Something I really like about Bluebeam: when you scale a drawing it auto-shows the last scale you used so you can just pick it. Huge time saver since most sets reuse the same scale over and over. Would be even better with a short list of the last 5 scales used instead of just one, since I bounce between a couple scales…

See how your community friend, @Darbie Roach, transformed a common design challenge into a faster, more flexible workflow using Bluebeam Max. Before Bluebeam Max = Redraw, revise, repeat Relied on Polygon and Rectangle markups to represent spaces Shape…
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…

Instead of manually typing the text into the…
I used to be able to convert DWF files to PDF using Stapler, but since I started using a different computer, I can't. I'm using Revu x64 version 21.10 Complete. (Or maybe it's because I updated to Revu 21?)
Hopefully that caught your attention. Did you know that Bluebeam just released an AMAZING update to Revu 21. Now with 21.11, it now has intergrations into both Claude Desktop & Chat GPT Desktop. What do you all think, and have you had a chance to try either of these out yet????/ Thanks, Rick
Using Revu, I print various sizes to various printers in our office. One printer is used for Letter and 11x17, while the plotter is used for full-size (30x42) and half-size sheet sets (15x22). I would love to be able to save custom printing templates that could be selected in the print dialog box. These templates could be…
As you can see the label is showing in the Properties, but down below in the Markup list it is blank. It was definitely there prior to the update, so I am hoping that it is just a quick fix.
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
Hello Bluebeam Support, Would it be possible to see a 'Studio Session Statistics' Reports by sessions? (I can see them under Studio - Sessions, but I also would like to download as CSV if possible) Thanks,
Hi, we have a dozen seats and do markups on Studio. We are trying to institute an office-wide color-coded status model. I can set it up for a single user but I am confused about how the custom status model is related to the profile, and how the profiles are shared with other users. Could somebody explain the workflow…
Bluebeam Revu is unexpectedly closing when I have two instances open simultaneously. The crash occurs randomly while I'm working, causing me to lose progress. Has anyone encountered this issue, and are there any known fixes or settings that might help?
