It’s frustrating that during takeoffs, the Comment and Label columns in the Tool Chest are always visible, taking up space that could be used for longer subject lines. Unlike the Markups List, there’s no way to hide unused columns, which takes up valuable space for longwinded subject lines. I’ve looked for a fix, and it…
Hello Bluebeam Support/Product Dev team, I would like to request a new feature/tool for studio sessions. At my company we use Bluebeam and other applications to develop engineering drawings, however we have a strict standard when keeping track of multidisciplinary inputs in studio sessions. Tool description: Dynamic Zone…
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…
When moving a PDF file from the main BlueBeam application to another window (or second monitor), it creates a new Bluebeam tab. I would like to see it create a new separate application on my computer that I can pull up and down, as needed. Currently, if I click away on Bluebeam (with multiple tabs open on multiple…

Is there a known issue regarding stamps and forms in web-sessions where they're only visible for a second or two in a session? I have several sessions where text in form fields dissappear in a second or two when I've opened a session, but when opening the same session in the application everything looks fine. Tried this in…

Need to know what I'm doing wrong w/ the PDF creation in Outlook. I previously used Adobe Pro and it worked perfect. It created an index list of all the emails I converted to PDF sorted in the ORDER THEY WERE RECEIVED. I could also see which ones of them had attachments from the index w/out having to open each. Since I…
Please add a "Move/Transfer user" option in Org Admin. Admins of a parent account should be able to move a user, with their plan, from one child account to another.

When doing a mark-up on a drawing that has a scale of 1:50 then you want to copy that mark and paste it on another drawing, but it's scale is at 1:100. Is there a way to get around this? As the way it's done now, the length is wrong (double the length) when pasted from 1:50 to 1:100
I use Bluebeam Cloud on my iPad with Sessions for field inspections. During inspections, I work with façade drawings and add notes, comments, markups, and photos directly to the drawings. I would appreciate the option to automatically save a copy of all photos captured within Bluebeam Cloud to the iPad's Camera Roll or…
The forced smoothing of pen tool line markup is a big backward step that is unnecessary, frustrating and wastes time. It should be removed and previous tool behavior reinstated. if smoothing is desirred, it should be a selectable property not an assumption that this is what the user wants or needs.
It seems there is no way to control the sort order of documents in a session: This would be a great feature to add.. Thanks for any comments or suggestion!

i am trying o add a new measurement to an existing polylength. so, i have done a poly and want to add a perpindicular line from the middle of the existing line and continue the length measurement
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…

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.…
