It would be helpful if, whenever I offset a perimeter measurement or line, the new line would retain the same properties (subject, custom column values, etc.) as the original line it was offset from.

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…
Has any of you ever had you hyperlinks all break when flattening? or unflattening? I had this happen today. I am a little sour, lol. I have to go redirect all of my links in that document. Very big document! Lesson learned. Save a copy, then save another to be safe.
I am having troubles finding the correct icons for what I am trying to accomplish. I have looked through multiple tool chests and was hoping one of you guys might be able to help. I am looking for the following icons: All thread Hex Nuts (side view) Bolts (side/top view) Washers (lock and flat) Unistrut (slotted) Thank you…
I use a lot of templates for cable reports. I build out the reports ahead of cable testing and hyperlink to them from my cable schedule. Is there a quick way to access a template? I have not found a way to hotkey one? Is that possible?
Tool: "Disable Line Weights" Ever had a drawing where every line looks like it’s fighting for attention❓😂 As an estimator, I’ve faced this many times during takeoff especially with dense structural drawings. When walls, dimensions, grids and details become visually heavy, Disable Line Weights can make the drawing much…
Being able to change the color of a single tool in the Tool Chest is great, makes it easy to keep things organized and visually distinct. I'd love to see that extended to multiple items at once though. Right now if I want to switch a batch of tools from red to black I have to go in one at a time, which adds up fast. Change…
In Revu 21.8, when drawing an area markup, the settings for line opacity and thickness are previewed when conducting the mark up. This is blocking the view of the outline of the shape being measured. See the example below from Version 21.8: In previous versions, the line was very thin, blue, and allowed the user to see…
Tool: Dark Mode 🌙 For all the night-shift engineers out there… this one’s for you. 😎 Working on Bluebeam late at night ❓ Switch to Dark Mode and give your eyes a break. Small setting. Better night workflow. 🌙 Night-shift engineers are you using Dark Mode❓Comment 💙
Please give the MCP server the ability to expose the user's AI software to the "Crop and Page Setup" menu. I'd like to be able to tell my AI to resize the document for various reasons. One reason for example, I'd like to use my AI with the MCP connection, to go thru a contract and strike thru the sections which I won't…
Hi, How can we split a complicated Area markup in to multiple small areas by simply drawing a line. I dont want to use the cutout option. but i want a simple option to split a huge area markup to divide in to multiple areas simple by drawing a line instead of newly creating an area again? Appreciate if you can answer this.…
If you find yourself reaching for the same tools over and over — or reassigning the same markup properties every time — there's a faster way to work. Revu lets you customize your own keyboard shortcuts, so the tools and commands you use most are always one keystroke away. ➡️ Here's how: Go to Revu > Keyboard Shortcuts.…
Prompt: "In the drawing that is currently open in Revu, rename the page labels based on the following criteria: Drawing Number - Title." Outcome: If your set has a sheet index or drawing list on the cover sheet, it reads the titles from there and matches them to each sheet, instead of guessing off each individual title…
I'm not sure how to ask or search for this… so new post. I have a handful of custom tool chests that I share with other users at my company. We use Bluebeam almost exclusively for markups and measuring, and I have created a bunch of tool chests with image inserts. I have a Camera symbol in one chest that keeps copying…
When trying to open IFC or U3D files I am always getting a blank page. I am using a Bluebeam REVU Complete Version and already tried to open several diferent files. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
I have a small form for Parts Transfers form Job1 to Job2. I have a button to email that form to the right dept for processing. Is it possible to Flatten the form when the email button is clicked? Basically, once the form is sent, we don't want someone to have the ability to edit it anymore. If so, how do i do that, (I…
Hello, we use markup statuses to track drawing comments and actions on them. In a 'normal' session we can assign and change markup statuses, which we colour code too. However, if we set up a Project, and then create a Session using documents in the Project, none of this works. Or at least, we can't get it to work. There is…
A number of folks in my office have complained about Bluebeam Revu being slower to open. Has anyone else had a similar issue or better yet had this solution and solved it!
My Genie Tool would be "Do It For Me." 🧞 I would simply say what I need in plain English, and Bluebeam would handle the rest. 🔸 "Measure all drywall and export by room." 🔸 "Find every revision cloud between these two drawings." 🔸 "Create a punch list from these comments." 🔸 "Count all fire-rated doors." 🔸 "Generate an RFI…
I watched this one and noticed that you could measure with perimeter measurements and set that up in my tool box under metal duct and round duct. I noticed that they had calculations for pounds in the markup list but did not go into detail on how to set that up. I was wondering if there is another video on how those…
I have a wide monitor and often want Bluebeam to sit to one side using the windows left or right arrow key. It doesn't dock properly while all of the other programs (Microsoft, Adobe, etc.) I use do. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
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.…
