I have a small form for Parts Transfers form Job1 to Job2. I have a button to email that form to the right dept for processing. Is it possible to Flatten the form when the email button is clicked? Basically, once the form is sent, we don't want someone to have the ability to edit it anymore. If so, how do i do that, (I…
Revu gives a report that a user has the file locked for editing but does not report the username. Please report the name. Some users open files and then go golfing. I'm working with Panzura or Egnyte cloud systems sometimes. The file I need is NOT part of a session that I know of.
I heavily utilize custom tools. I also heavily utilize custom columns within those tools. When will this be available and complete in Cloud? I am still utilizing Revu on my iPad and I am waiting for it to disappear.
Hi everyone! We're bringing back a community favorite for July and August—Shortcuts! This challenge will run for a couple months, as it's a popular feature.

Hello Bluebeam Support/Product Team, I’d like to submit a feature request for Bluebeam Revu Complete. Currently, when using the “Round Corners” / “Round All Corners” option on a polyline, Revu automatically determines the corner radius. It would be very useful to have an adjustable radius setting that allows the user to…
When trying to open IFC or U3D files I am always getting a blank page. I am using a Bluebeam REVU Complete Version and already tried to open several diferent files. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
Feature Idea: Save Default PDF Layer Settings It would be useful to have a way to save default layer settings within a PDF. For example: Save layers as expanded or collapsed Save specific layers as ON or OFF Set a default layer configuration for the file This would be especially useful for teams sharing PDFs. The author…
Hello, we use markup statuses to track drawing comments and actions on them. In a 'normal' session we can assign and change markup statuses, which we colour code too. However, if we set up a Project, and then create a Session using documents in the Project, none of this works. Or at least, we can't get it to work. There is…
Today’s underrated tool: Sketch to Scale 📐 Need to create a quick sketch but want it to stay accurate to the drawing scale❓ Sketch to Scale helps you create lines, arcs, and other sketch elements while maintaining the correct scale. For estimators, engineers, and QS professionals, this can be really useful when you need to…
I am a roofing estimator that uses different colour markups to denote green, blue, brown roofing etc. I previously had my area measurement > appearance > fill colour > highlight check box ticked so the information in the PDF under the markups was still visible, and it was showing the markup icon fine in the legend. I am…
I'm not sure how to ask or search for this… so new post. I have a handful of custom tool chests that I share with other users at my company. We use Bluebeam almost exclusively for markups and measuring, and I have created a bunch of tool chests with image inserts. I have a Camera symbol in one chest that keeps copying…
Tool: Dark Mode 🌙 For all the night-shift engineers out there… this one’s for you. 😎 Working on Bluebeam late at night ❓ Switch to Dark Mode and give your eyes a break. Small setting. Better night workflow. 🌙 Night-shift engineers are you using Dark Mode❓Comment 💙
I would like to have the option to change the PDF background color to a color of my choice to improve readability and make it more comfortable for me to read, while keeping the original text and markup colors unchanged.
Loving the round corners feature but I feel like it's missing the reverse option. Once you round a corner there's no way to square it back off. Would be great to have a "square corners" option so you're not stuck starting over if you change your mind or round the wrong one. Anyone else run into this?
A number of folks in my office have complained about Bluebeam Revu being slower to open. Has anyone else had a similar issue or better yet had this solution and solved it!
My Genie Tool would be "Do It For Me." 🧞 I would simply say what I need in plain English, and Bluebeam would handle the rest. 🔸 "Measure all drywall and export by room." 🔸 "Find every revision cloud between these two drawings." 🔸 "Create a punch list from these comments." 🔸 "Count all fire-rated doors." 🔸 "Generate an RFI…
I watched this one and noticed that you could measure with perimeter measurements and set that up in my tool box under metal duct and round duct. I noticed that they had calculations for pounds in the markup list but did not go into detail on how to set that up. I was wondering if there is another video on how those…
I have a wide monitor and often want Bluebeam to sit to one side using the windows left or right arrow key. It doesn't dock properly while all of the other programs (Microsoft, Adobe, etc.) I use do. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
I want to create a symbol for a recessed 2x4 and be able to use it for my take-offs. I'd also like to have the ability to rotate it to match the layout on the drawings. Is there a simple solution to this? The ones I create now can't be rotated and I really don't see the need to duplicate it just to rotate it as a new tool.…
I need a tool or plugin To automatically place items, lines and measurements onto a pdf file. The input should be a code or a previsous drawn line. I tried with javascript but this does not read the properties of markups list. Therefor it can not cenerate a measurement on the right places. Is there a plugin tool or another…
Hi all, Looking for a bit of help here with Spaces. I am copying spaces between services plans (Power plan to Lighting plan etc.) so identical building layout, but the space is often rotated by 90° regardless of page rotation. I have read the community posts on Rotating pages, but even if I copy the spaces (even grouped,…
