What's the benefit of Filter and Sort? Specific detail and why its grayed out. Is it based off of subscription level?
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with 3rd party AI take off software for Lighting specifically? I've been looking for something that can count lights within spaces and still hold the formatting for exporting? Does Bluebeam Max with Claude AI offer any kind of automated take off capabilities? I have Revu 21.11…
Howdy Y'all, Does the usergroup have a .btx symbol library tool set for Oil and Gas type symbols? We have any free libraries we can use?
Hello, Just a really simple question really. How do you add a border around a document in bluebeam? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find the answer
More and more free PDF programs are able to create measurements, but when they open in Bluebeam, they are lines and texts, in a variety of combinations. With Bluebeam Max, it should be piece of cake to recognize them and convert them to true Bluebeam measurements. This needs to be a process that allows the user to filter…
I use Bluebeam Cloud on my iPad with Sessions for field inspections. During inspections, I work with façade drawings and add notes, comments, markups, and photos directly to the drawings. I would appreciate the option to automatically save a copy of all photos captured within Bluebeam Cloud to the iPad's Camera Roll or…
The forced smoothing of pen tool line markup is a big backward step that is unnecessary, frustrating and wastes time. It should be removed and previous tool behavior reinstated. if smoothing is desirred, it should be a selectable property not an assumption that this is what the user wants or needs.

Anyone using Bluebeam Revu for CCTV, Fire Alarm, Low Voltage, or Construction Projects? Hi everyone! 👋 I've been developing practical digital tools to help contractors, estimators, and technicians save time on repetitive tasks. Some of the tools include: ✅ Bluebeam Revu BTX Toolsets – CCTV, Fire Alarm & Low Voltage ✅ 150+…
So, after playing about with Max and Claude last night, I discovered a new way to stitch drawings together! Basically, there is now no need to use the new stitching feature in Max nor take snapshots and join them together yourself. Instead, you can create a skill in Claude and get everything done automatically - well that…
Ive reached a point in my estimating/measurement workflow where everything i measure can now take place within the same profile. Its fantastic from an ease of use perspective, but it means the number of tools and tool chests i have is a very long list. Being able to add an extra layer of sorting/collapsing to batch…
Hi all, I've been experiencing an issue and it's been driving me up the wall. Every time Bluebeam updates and asks me to accept the license agreement again, it resets all markup formatting to default. I save markup formatting as default frequently as the default styles are not suitable in my opinion. Every few weeks,…
It would be nice to have a "Collapse All" option for Bookmarks. Construction specifications frequently come with no bookmarks. BlueBeam makes it relatively easy to add them automatically, but then I have to collapse each section individually before I can "Save Collapsed State".
I would like to know if it is possible while grouping to retain the dominant label name for the new group. I am also curious is we will ever be able to get the .csv output with the parent/child relationships. The ability to maintain the layer states, upon grouping would be another ask, but not as important. Thanks,
when entering text in bluebeam max markup list, why doesn't it auto save and create a suggested list as you type like it did with core?In Bluebeam Revu, the Max edition differs from Core by focusing on advanced structural workflows. If your text fields and Markups list aren't auto-completing or suggesting past terms, it is…
i am trying o add a new measurement to an existing polylength. so, i have done a poly and want to add a perpindicular line from the middle of the existing line and continue the length measurement
The issue I am running into is that there is no multiline or text wrapping of the displayed text within the Legend. I am trying to come up with a unique usage for displaying questions on drawings using custom markups and the Markups Legend. I currently run a PDF summary of all of my custom callouts to create a list of all…
I have some hyperlinks that have became un-editable? Somehow? Can anybody tell me why? I would like to get them cleaned up some. And BB is not letting me for whatever reason? See the attached screenshots of the properties for each.
I feel like Im missing something… Do I have the ability to zoom, pan Left / Right and Scroll UP / Down at the same time. (Without grabbing tha page with the hand, without selecting 'One Full Page' or Scrolling pages. I work with a lot of schematic line drawings and I regularly zoom in and have to trace wiring around the…
Are any libraries available for the commercial roofing industry I am looking for ways to help add components to low slope roof drawings as well as keep a standard set of tools for shop drawings
When I do a search and hyperlink checked. Sometimes I get a way oversized highlight box? I think it might be caused by an OCR issue? Is there a way to refine OCR to better recognize text? Or a way to fine tune it I mean. I have tried multiple OCR options to no end. See that attachment? Any ideas would be much appreciated.…
When I try to print a larger PDF drawing file it takes BlueBeam forever to spool to the printer. It didn't used to do this until a few weeks ago. I keep having to open the file in a web browser to print the drawing without taking an hour to spool. I'm wondering if there is a setting wrong somewhere.
always thought this pull down menu was in bluebeam out of the box. guess not. think of this menu like the function of a simple highlight to count and provide one markup each (as in my tools), except in addition to highlight and counting, it also includes a corresponding symbol like duplex receptacle or sp switch snapshot…

Hi all, I’m having an issue with Headers and Footers. The preview looks perfect, header across the top and footer across the bottom with 1" margins. But after I hit OK, everything gets bunched up in the bottom right corner of the sheet, and the header ends up down by the title block instead of at the top. The font also…
