I work for a concrete construction company. I am new to Bluebeam and am wondering what tool would I use to measure foundation footings around the perimeter of a building that the walls sit on. Or even how to measure the basement walls for a home to figure out how much concrete is needed for that foundation. Say, for…
I rely heavily on the use of spaces and multiple viewports to organize data for export. Can the software have the ability to watermark the spaces and viewports in a corner of the space or viewport. As good example is in viewports, they currently show the scale when selected but i would like to see that scale or space name…
Hi, I'm looking to create a "dynamic symbol" something comparible to the "dynamic block" in Autocad. (a dynamic block is an advanced type of block that contains rules and parameters, allowing you to change its size, shape, or configuration on the fly without having to explode it or redefine the block definition.) I have…
When I create a place in a studio folder. It opens to the correct place and view on a pc. But when trying to use the link on an IPad it takes you to the first page of the document the link is in, instead of the view? You still have to do some manual searching? Is this possibly a setting? I have tried both with relative…
I've been told that Bluebeam Cloud is going to replace Bluebeam Revu on iPad. If that is going to happen then the capability of Cloud needs to at least match what was possible on Revu. Here are some of my thoughts and comments from my field staff that do markups for construction projects from an iPad: We use .bex files…
We have a guy we are setting up on bluebeam. We have a bluebeam enterprise solution of some kind. He went in and created an account with his business email to use a trial account. We are trying to activate his account on our plan to no success. His bluebeam id is the business email he used to set up his trial account? Is…
Hi, I'm trying to figure out the cause of a PDF's logo changing after an employee at my company digitally signed a PDF. It doesn't happen every time this employee digitally signs PDFs. The logo basically gets inverted color wise on the PDF after the signature happens. I've reproduced on my end, and it didn't happen, so it…
Most of the time the pdf file that I need to upload to a Session needs the filename changed. It is really annoying to have to Save As, find a temporary local location to save to, rename the file, add the file to the Session, then clean up the duplicate local files. Please add a pop up when adding a file to a Session to…

Hi everyone! This month is all about momentum. Being almost at the halway point of 2026, it’s a great time to look at how our workflows are evolving, especially the areas where things are getting faster and more efficient. This challenge, Faster Than Before, is focused on the improvements you’ve made over time. Whether…
There are time when we have a large area measurement that only part of it gets changed. Instead of deleting and re-drawing the now two separate shapes, it'd be nice to be able to split the measurement and then make the necessary changes to each one. If anyone is familiar with Rhinoceros 3D, it has this ability. I'd try to…
OCR has not worked for over a month. is there a fix coming out? I have been getting this error:
I use custom columns in Bluebeam for electrical estimating and quantity takeoff workflows. In older versions, I could select multiple markups and quickly change a custom dropdown value (such as a system classification) for all selected items at once through the Properties interface. In newer versions, that workflow either…
Hi, I am doing some grading using Length measurements. On the Markups List I added 4 columns (elev1, elev2, rise, slopePCT). I basically enter elev1, elev2. Rise is calculated as the difference between them both. And slopePCT is calculated as Rise/Measured length. It works, and on the Length object label I included…
Add the ability to link to a specific document library in a Sharepoint site instead of the general site. The only way to get to the doc library is by going through several levels of the site to get to the library. It would make it easier for our field leaders to be able to link directly to the docs without having to…

Is there someone who can help me get my editing features back for me (undo, redo, copy, cut)? I've tried everything and no luck. These just suddenly grayed out on me and I cannot work on my projects any longer. My subscription is up-to-date.
I have noticed when saving a file as PDF from Word the are sometime several bookmarks listed as "1". Bookmarks are created using Word headers, but there are never any headers named "1". Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?
Regarding Bluebeam, would it be possible to give an applicant a temp user code to give access to one of our Bluebeam licenses, assigned to one of our team members desktops who doesn't really use Bluebeam? This might allow me to build a module consisting of tasks that would allow them to clearly demonstrate their BB skills…
When I use the Sketch commands (rectangle, poly, etc.) why doesn't Snap to Content work? Just doesn't make sense to me. Self answered (palmface!) - My "snap to markup" was toggled off. Unfortunately an internal system update reset all of my BB settings, I missed turning this back on. But maybe snap to markup and content…
Hi everyone, In light of the new ADA Title II regulations, many state and local governments — and the vendors who work with them — need their digital documents to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 24, 2026 (or 2027 for smaller jurisdictions). This includes PDFs that end up on public websites or portals. I’m trying to…
