Hi everyone! We're bringing back a community favorite for July and August—Shortcuts! This challenge will run for a couple months, as it's a popular feature. The last time we ran a shortcuts challenge was back in October 2024, and a lot has changed since then. New community members have joined, workflows have evolved, and…
In Bluebeam Revu (Complete), subtotals in the markup list disappear when mixing different units. E.g.: I've measured 10 lengths and subsequently I change 1 of the length units from meter to centimeter. You would expect that Revu can still add up 29,51 m + 72 cm = 30,23 m or 3023 cm but none of these values appear. I can…
OCR has not worked for over a month. is there a fix coming out? I have been getting this error:
Hi, I keep coming across the permission issues on a weekly basis between our teams that interrupts workflow substantially. Currently, when you open a session your only option is to click "Add Documents", however, if someone forgets to click this, none of the invited participants will be able to add documents until the…
Current Behavior: In a Revu Studio Session, the Session Host has access to information and controls that are not available to other Session participants, including visibility into which invited users have joined or have not yet joined the Session. This creates a single point of dependency on the primary Session Host. If…
Current Behavior: Revu Studio Session permissions are configured on a Session-by-Session basis. There is currently no way to establish default reviewer permissions that automatically apply when creating or joining a Session. Requested Improvement: Allow users or organizations to establish default permissions for Session…
Ever need to place the same markup — like a cloud around a room — on multiple pages of the same drawing set? Copying and pasting normally drops it wherever you click, which means re-positioning it by hand every single time. There's a modifier key shortcut that skips that step entirely. ➡️ Here's how: Select the markup you…
I'm relatively new to Bluebeam & need some assistance with overlays. When we submit our approval drawings, some architects are requiring us to do overlays of our drawings over theirs. I am trying to overlay an original pdf with 2 regions from 2 other drawings (1 region from each overlay pdf). I cannot get it to work…
Hi everyone, I’m the Product Manager for Studio and I’m looking for feedback on the 9‑digit ID that appears next to each Session (and Project) in the Sessions view in Revu. This is the ID you can share so others can join a Session or Project directly by entering the number. (Going forward I'll just say Session to spare you…
Hi, I have a huge request. When using Bluebeam Revu Max & Revit Connected sessions, it would be incredibly helpful to be able to utilize the "Layer" visibility within Revu to toggle off markups so that they do not show up in Revit. My current workflow is, once the markup status has changed to "Complete", I add those…
It would be nice if, within Revu, I could message other Studio session attendees. Either individually or as a group. That way I could notify them when a new file is uploaded or if there is an outstanding redline/comment or whatever other issue needs to be communicated.
I know how to select and copy one Polygon cutout, but how do I select multiple polygon cutouts, copy and paste into an entirely new region? Or can I even do this?
I just posted this comment in another discussion. Using 21.10 for a week now and the first time I try OCR it does not work.
In a bluebeam session utilzing markups with statuses, there is a glitch where undoing an action while interacting with a markup that has a status causes a duplication of the action, rather than undoing the action. Say you replied to a comment, then you decide you didn't like what you replied, so you CTRL+Z to undo it.…
We use studio to do drawing reviews, incorporating several different groups of people, all of whom either submit a markup or reply to a markup. Once the markup is resolved, we change the status to completed. The drawings get quite congested during this process. My question is, as we add revised drawings to the set, is…
From BlueBeam and the Director of Product Management September 8, 2025, We've been able to replicate and identify the issue. We will implement a fix in our upcoming Q4 release of Revu. To date, new versions have been releases and still no fix. Ai search tool results. 8.25.26 You cannot keep the classic, ultra-thin preview…
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…
Has anyone had Bluebeam stop refreshing the view while working on documents? This has become a real issue for me. I often have several single sheet PDFs open while reviewing plans sets. I do this so I can cross reference from one sheet to the other to verify all sheet are consistent. I need to be able to look at multiple…
I want to batch flatten a bunch of PDFs and use the "Show Properties in Popup" option. I can only get this to work on one document at a time, and I have to check out that document and run it on one at a time in order to get it to work. It does not work as it is suppose to.
Hi—has anyone found a way to navigate the menu bar using alt and arrow keys (or something else)? I'm currently seeing that pressing alt highlights "revu" on the left, but no key can drop it down or shift the highlight to a different menu bar option (eg document). I also notice that if alt is pressed, then a menu bar option…
I want to create a symbol for a recessed 2x4 and be able to use it for my take-offs. I'd also like to have the ability to rotate it to match the layout on the drawings. Is there a simple solution to this? The ones I create now can't be rotated and I really don't see the need to duplicate it just to rotate it as a new tool.…
