Hello and good day to you. Please lend a machete to this intellectual thicket. While moving a set of plans to Studio what is the best way to do it while maintaining Action Links with Relative Paths within the plan set? I moved several plan sets to Studio and some of the links that were in those sheets referenced some…
Pretty often in drawings there are typical elevations that are referenced multiple times throughout the drawings. It would be great to do the takeoff once of the elevation but be give totals based on how many times it occurs in the drawing. Maybe by adding a multiplier in Viewports, or Spaces? I don't like adding a custom…
Hello, I was wondering if possible, to incorporate feature where we can filter/refine our search results? Not sure if this is already possible. But essentially search our search results, would be helpful when I get a long list of results.
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…
I am currently running BB Revu v21.9, with BB Engine 21.9.0.16288, and I am looking to disable WebTabs. I have already set links to open in external browsers, but they still sometimes open from a mis-click or something of that sort. This isn't a feature that I use, so I would prefer to disable/remove them entirely.…

What’s the most time-consuming part of your Bluebeam Revu workflow? Hi everyone, I'm a security and IT systems technician, and I've been using Bluebeam Revu for low-voltage projects, including CCTV, access control, networking, and fire alarm systems. Over time, I started developing my own tools to make repetitive tasks…
Often in Studio Sessions we are adding hatch patterns (with color) to shapes and markups. Or sometimes people will change a snapshot to 'colorize' to show that is a new item. If you change the status these don't change colors, which is rather annoying as it forces you to only use fill color, manually have the person who…

I am looking for a quick and easy way to change the center of what you are viewing on BB in an IFC. In Tekla, you press one button (v), click a spot (usually a part) and that becomes the point where the model you are viewing rotates around. Does something like this exist in Bluebeam? We have large models and frequently…
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.
Please consider adding the ability for users to locally group their studio sessions together on their machine. Even with the existing Show/Sort filters that are provided, there can be a lot of sessions to sort through when trying to find one. Since the titles of sessions can vary wildly by project or who created them, they…
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…

(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…
