Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G). Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take…
In many electrical distribution projects, duct bank profiles show total trench lengths and the trench depths along the profile. For estimating purposes, I calculate average trench depth by dividing the measured profile area by the trench’s horizontal length. This is manageable for a few profiles but becomes time-consuming…
I've only seen one discussion around this new Pen Tool change that happened recently so I thought I would post this here. Not sure if its a new feature or a bug, but the pen tool seem to smooth out and really effects small markups. In the image below I used the default pen at the top and tried to write "Move" as an…
When i change the page range to custom range there is no prompt to pick which pages i want to print specifically.
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
This has been an open ask since 2024 (see "Save Layer Collapse State") but it's still unresolved, so I wanted to bring it back up with a concrete use case. On multi-discipline data center electrical sets, our layer lists get long fast — power, lighting, low-voltage, fire alarm, each with sub-groups. Layer groups with…
I make extensive use of layers when marking up technical documents. The ability to create child layers is helpful, but there is no way (that I have found, anyway) to collapse the group and then save the layer collapse state. I would like to see "Layers" have the same option as "Bookmarks" in terms of choosing what is or is…
In excel for example, you can press F4 to repeat last command. This would be a great feature to have.
Hi, I would like to suggest an improvement to the background color settings in Bluebeam Revu. I often need to change the background color of drawings to reduce eye strain and make plans easier to read. I know there is already an option to change the background color, but it only becomes available when Dark Mode is enabled.…
I have drawn a rectangle on to a pdf using the BB rectangle tool located in the bar that runs across the top of my document. I filled in the hatch w 20% dots however the dots are a color (red) I do not want to use. I see the fill color command in properties but that is not changing the color of the dots. Fill color simply…
Something I would like to see improved is adding Offset to the right-click functionality when you select a markup. The natural flow when offsetting a markup is to draw the markup → select→ right-click it→ Offset, versus going through the Tool Chest or remembering it's under the Edit menu. Just seems like one of those…
So I am using quantity link to provide a actual completion percentage excel file used to track installation. It works well when I create the documents and use them locally, however when I ask others to use the file (it is basically one pdf and one excel in one folder) the linkage between the two files does not seem to be…
The format of these sessions are quick 30 minute, rapid fire tips and tricks. Here is what you'll walk away with.

i just updated from revu basics to core. it says to sign out and sign in and it will be activated but thats not working…any ideas?
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…
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
