Document A and Document B are identical documents. Document A has redline markups that I need to include on Document B. Is there a way in Bluebeam to overlay the Documents and transfer the redlines from Document A directly to Document B? For context this is for contractual redline language.

Consider a listed building survey somewhere in a European city centre, where half the record set is a scanned archive handed over by the local conservation authority, decades old, never born digital.

Came across an issue that may be worth noting. I frequently use the area measurement tool to outline a large building (picture the floor of a large apartment building, each with its own balcony sticking out). There are dozens of direction changes before I complete the outline. Shortly (coincidentally) after upgrading to…
Hi where can i get tools for traffic signs. swedish??
I've checked all the posts and haven't seen anything on this. I can't seem to put typewriter into my tool chest without having some text in it. Am I missing something?
So, our IT group did a series of updates to the Windows on the systems and now printing from Revit does not auto populate the Bookmarks and links. Also, the Batch Links will not create the links. It goes through the setup and process but returns back 0 created. Has anyone else having this issue lately?
I would like to have the Bluebeam MCP run in the background while the user is still using the shop drawing to do whatever action they need to take. Normally, in the current situation, when users use the AI MCP to access the Bluebeam drawing, we can't take any action in the Bluebeam software, which affects overall work…
TLDR: I'd like the ability to import fully-structured layer hierarchies directly to new documents. In my line of work -BIM Detailing-, I utilize layer hierarchies a LOT as I make equipment-specific mark-ups and layers in detailing documents. I utilize layers and layer configs so the BIM modelers can hide elements they…
Problem: When using any measurement or markup tool involving multiple control points, if the user right clicks by accident before the tool has finalised the lines/shapes, all control points are instantly lost. I can sometimes spend up to an hour marking/measuring very complex plans with hundreds of control points. One…
Is there a way to add scale for all toolboxes in an active profile? If not, how can we request this?
Dear Bluebeam Support Team, On May 25, 2026, I submitted a feature request in the Bluebeam Community regarding the ability to independently filter Spaces within each Legend in Revu. Original proposal: Nearly five months later, the proposal remains marked as "Active", with no visible technical feedback or response. As a…
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…
Has anyone developed a practical method in Bluebeam Revu to calculate earthwork quantities from grid levels or contour drawings? I am looking for a workflow where the existing ground levels and proposed formation levels can be compared systematically, preferably using a grid-based approach, so that cut and fill depths can…
Hey guys, I have an excel template I use for take-offs. While on the spreadsheet, when I set the source file to the drawing, there is a very small chance that it successfully links. Usually, I have to set the source file, nothing happens, so I then set up a new quantity link. When i setup a new link, all the other quantity…
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
Hi, when I want to export markup data to a csv file and we have a table grouping multiple markups the tool only extracts 1 property and not the properties of all the grouped elements. I looked solutions all over the community and none seem to answer my needs. I need to export each value as a whole group. Does somebody have…
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…
We have come across this problem in the past and usually the issue is that the custom columns in the different documents are different, however in this case it looks like they are the same. Any ideas how to get the properties to paste in the correct order
Is there a way to undo a highlight without hitting "undo" which does get rid of the highlight. Yes this works but becasuse BB isn't perfect I now have to go back and set everything up again each time it highlights a section I DIDN'T want it to, which is often. I would like to undo without having to set it all back up…
