Hey all, Just starting with Custom Profiles to see if they will help time savings. Working in a design role, we have various tasks daily. We generally deal with P&IDs and ISOs.

I'd love the option for a studio session password to private sessions to avoid the current requirement of either inviting every person in my organization to every project session or make people request to join. We currently save the session ID in our project folders, so could easily include the password to keep sessions…
The default Blue outline works great while the app is in Light Mode, but while in Dark Mode it becomes nearly impossible to see which page you are currently viewing, and when dealing with hundreds of very similar looking pages, it can be a pain to see, you can easily click on the wrong page, have to go back and find it…
We have come across this problem in the past and usually the issue is that the custom columns in the different documents are different, however in this case it looks like they are the same. Any ideas how to get the properties to paste in the correct order
🔹 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹: 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺 Form is one of those Bluebeam features that I think many users overlook. I use it when I have a PDF that needs to be converted into a fillable digital form instead of manually typing information or printing the document.

Is there a way to undo a highlight without hitting "undo" which does get rid of the highlight. Yes this works but becasuse BB isn't perfect I now have to go back and set everything up again each time it highlights a section I DIDN'T want it to, which is often. I would like to undo without having to set it all back up…
I stopped emailing markups back and forth. For years that meant the same drawing existed in five different inboxes, each with its own set of comments, and nobody fully sure which version was the one to work from. Someone makes a decision on Tuesday, and the site doesn't see it until Thursday, if the email doesn't get…
I have a document with floorplans that I have marked up with electrical icons from my tool box. Somehow the document was flattened and I can not access my markups, it is only with this tool box however. All of my other markups are unflattening. Another weird thing is when I went to unflatten it kicked my out of my current…
Hi everyone, I work with low-voltage systems, including CCTV, access control, and structured cabling. One challenge I've encountered is keeping Bluebeam markups, device schedules, and project closeout documentation organized across different installations. To address this, I've developed a toolkit with: 32 CCTV tools 32…
First off, I know I'm not a typical user - I keep Revu on one of my VERTICAL side monitors and have the Studio panel docked on the BOTTOM. I was recently forced to upgrade to Revu 21.11 because of the end of Studio support for my older version. Immediately I noticed the addition of the Attendee & Document search boxes in…
Is there a way to export markups from several PDFs/Files in Bluebeam to the same (single) excel file? I routinely export my markups to excel for individual files, but am curious if I can take markups from (5) PDFs and Export to (1) Excel file. Or if I must continue to do my method of exporting 1:1 and ending up with 5…
Previously, clicking an alert in the Notification tab led directly to the corresponding markup. However, now nothing happens when clicking it. Everyone in my office is experiencing the same issue, not just me. Please advise.
I need help sorting out daily reports for different subcontractors. As of right now I separate them by individually extracting each page then finding the folder it belongs in, then copying the same format and changing the date. I fell though that there has to be an easier way to file these daily reports. I've tried making…
Is there a Tool set for Audio-Visual? I use Revu for marking up drawing sets for the addition of A/V. I need to add things like data drops, electrical outlets, speakers, microphones, wall mounted monitors, etc. Does something like this exist in Revu? I have looked and cannot find a Audio-Visual specific tools.
I have searched all over the various Bluebeam sites and cannot find the answer. Is there anywhere to download additional Tool Sets for the Tool chest. I'm specifically looking for Access Control, Security, and CCTV Tool Sets. TIA.
Hi Folks, I have a question, do you have a way to calculate a volume for a cut or fill, (a tapered volume measurement). I have a way of doing this that may be a little complex. I am interested in what others may have come up with. Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
I am getting this error when I try to use the tool. I read online that it could be an issue with the PDF being corrupted but I downloaded the sample site plan that is used in the demonstration videos and I am getting the same error message. Anyone have an advice on how to deal with this issue?
Hello, I received an email from Bluebeam stating that I was a part of their beta testing community.
