Good Morning, Attached is a master list of items in excel which I would like to upload to BlueBeam to create Toolboxes and stamps for each line item. Each line item has a Cost code, Item Number, Scope, Description, and Unit of Measure. The idea is to complete takeoff, then export takeoff list and link with unit rates from…

Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature that would significantly enhance the workflow for users handling large-scale projects: the ability to import markup data from Excel/CSV back into Bluebeam to update existing properties. Currently, in my industry, we use Bluebeam to assign unique IDs and metadata to…
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 way to remove pen smoothing on the desktop version? A recent update appears to have increased the smoothing on pen markups and smooths it to the point where the markups are unreadable. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue or if this feature can be turned off or dialed back? Any help is…
I ran my first batch of tests using CoPilot CLI to attempt to do quantity takeoffs of various ceiling speaker models in a 170 page PDF drawing set. The speaker location identifiers consisted of a circle with a number inside that denotes the speaker model. I honestly thought that this would be right in the wheel house for…
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,…
I'm looking for some input on how everyone else is setting up their Studio Sessions. We have predominately unchecked the Private Session checkbox to allow people in our company to join as they were added to the project. We've realized that this opens us up to anyone being able to join if they just guess the correct 9 digit…
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
In Revu Blue Beam it would be nice to have a number count of files in a folder or the possibility to export a list of files by titles to xlsx or csv which would give me a number count. I might have 500 RFI's in a folder and have the need to compare it against what is stored in the companies file directory which is separate…
Is there a way to search through the project names in my projects lists? Once I got over 100, it was impossible to find what I was looking for quickly.
With the introduction of MIP support in Bluebeam Revu, users can successfully open and view protected PDF files. However, these files are currently treated as read-only and cannot be used as source documents for document-processing functions such as Overlay Pages. According to feedback received from Bluebeam Support, this…
Title implying, it'd be awesome if we could get a right click menu or the like a right click menu for the usual Unicode symbols (Center line, center mark, degrees, diameter etc.). I'd envision it very similar to the one built into AutoCAD:
A colleague has done something so that whenever he chooses the perimeter measurement, the subject field automatically becomes 'skirting', the label field becomes '100mm MDF' and the colours and line-types change. We think this is because he has set a default (he has a similar issue with the length measurement), but both…
Is there a way to export markups from several PDFs/Files in Bluebeam to the same (single) excel file? I routinely export my markups to excel for individual files, but am curious if I can take markups from (5) PDFs and Export to (1) Excel file. Or if I must continue to do my method of exporting 1:1 and ending up with 5…
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…
I checked the "Show recent files on Startup" box in the preferences and still nothing. Anyone else having this issue?
Is there a way to continue a lineal takeoff, from page to page, without having to group the subjects together after the fact? For example, If I have a lineal footage measurement that I want to continue adding on to, what is the most efficient way to continue adding on to the same subject, from page to page. In other…
As most engineering firms do, we create plan and profile sheets where the X scale is the same in both the plan and profile, but the profile has a different Y scale. We add a Viewport in BB for the profile adding the different Y scale value. This is easy enough, but when there are dozens, even hundreds of P/P sheets in a…
I have bunch of links in a document that work fine on the PC? But not on the BB app. I really need these to work in the app for my people in the field. The link circled in the attached pic is suppose to direct to a certain snapshot within a page of the conduit schedule, a different document. It takes you to the conduit…

I am interested in understanding how my team can utilize BBM in the field to perform construction punchlist with notes and pictures and how this data can turn into report. Ideally we would like to have a toolkit available. What is the timeline for this functionality?
When editing specifications, typically we will draw a reverse Z over paragraphs that we will need to delete, it may be a small Z to delete one paragraph or a big Z to delete the entire page. What is the best way to speed up this repetitive work? I was thinking of creating a reverse Z shape and place in the toolchest and…
