My coworker started a studio session with me recently so we could review a set of plans together and mark them up. Turns out that Studio Session has some neat features we didn't know about before: * It locks the previous markups so you can't edit them. * It doesn't allow you to set a scale on the page, or do things as…
Good Morning, Can anyone tell me the status of Toolsets for Mobile? I see the feature on there, toolsets actually work.
We recently labeled a file PDF with Microsoft Purview labels. Once we did this, we found our users were unable to open the files. We followed the guidance for integrating Bluebeam and were able to get past that initial issue: Use Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) with Bluebeam Revu | Bluebeam Technical Support We can…
Organizations working in highly regulated environments require the ability to protect sensitive PDF documents using Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) encryption. Bluebeam currently supports opening MIP‑protected PDFs; however, these documents open in read‑only mode, which limits their usability. To support standard…
Feature Request: Enable Bluebeam Revu MPIP(Microsoft Purview Information Protection) compatibility for editing Currently, customers can only view MPIP protected files in Revu. This means customers cannot add comments or set stamps in MPIP classified documents, so they cannot do their job. Please update this integration…
Hi all, I'm getting consistent stuttering and lag in Revu, even with just a single PDF open and nothing else running. These are normal architectural/construction plan PDFs (single large-format page, e.g. A0) that open and edit completely smoothly in PDF-XChange Editor on the same machine — so it doesn't seem to be a file…
We've been busy this first half of 2026. This roundup covers the biggest releases across Revu, Studio, Bluebeam Web, mobile, and our Developer Portal. From AI-powered search and markup editing to a brand-new way to build documents right in your browser, to security controls that give admins the final word. 🚀 Bluebeam Max…
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
Good morning, Community! Your friendly neighborhood Bluebeam CSM here, back with a feature idea a few of my customers keep bumping into. Let's talk Split View. Current State When you're comparing two versions of the same document in Split View, turning on Synchronize Views with Synchronize Document mode is fantastic. Flip…
Currently the Count Markup relies entirely on the right click menu for Splitting and Resuming Count markups. Similar to the functionality for adding and deleting control points on perimeter markups, it would be beneficial if the SHIFT and CTRL keys could be utilized as shortcuts for splitting and resuming counts. The…
As most engineering firms do, we create plan and profile sheets where the X scale is the same in both the plan and profile, but the profile has a different Y scale. We add a Viewport in BB for the profile showing the different Y scale value. This is easy enough, but when there are dozens, even hundreds of P/P sheets in a…

Add a command that automatically creates a new PDF consisting only of pages that contain one or more markups from the Markups List.
Any AI working through the MCP needs access to the Tool Chest. Without this access, the CoPilot AI I have been testing can not apply Toool Chest markups to my drawings. I have been attempting a workaround by manually converting all .btx files in my Tool Chest to XML and add those XML files to the context folder locations…
I frequently change between Line style of cloud, solid and blank (where blank = setting line weight to 0) for several markup tools, primarily text. it would be great if there were a line style that came in as blank so that every time i go to toggle between "blank", solid and cloud i can do it all from the line style drop…
I have bunch of links in a document that work fine on the PC? But not on the BB app. I really need these to work in the app for my people in the field. The link circled in the attached pic is suppose to direct to a certain snapshot within a page of the conduit schedule, a different document. It takes you to the conduit…
Hi All, I am new to this community. Currently we have a user that is constantly getting the occurring popup "Subscription Expired" when she logs into Bluebeam Revu. I checked and the subscription is good until 2027. To make her login work again, we are having to go to the following folder…
Hi, I'm using Bluebeam Revu 21.9 and I'm trying to use a dot (.) as decimal separator instead of a comma (,). My goal is to keep the Bluebeam interface in Swedish and continue using metric units (m, m², m³), but display and export numeric values with a decimal point. What I have already checked: Windows Region format is…
Hi, Is it possible to create Bluebeam Spaces from Rooms that are located in a linked Revit model? Our workflow consists of a separate MEP model with the architectural model linked into it. All Rooms are created in the architectural model. In our MEP views, the Rooms from the linked architectural model are visible and can…
Anyone know where the setting lives for the bottom status bar items? My Page Scale and Page Size disappeared from my toolbar out of nowhere. Restarted Bluebeam and they came back, but now they're showing up twice. Once in the Navigation Bar Right, and again directly underneath it in what I'm guessing is the status bar. I…
I am a CAD guy of 30+ years… I support a team of engineers & project managers in the US. They used to all have AutoCAD and I steered them toward Bluebeam with big promises of speed and ease of use. I created a variety of insertable items… like workstations, refrigerators, freezers, etc… everything they might need to…
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?
I am experiencing an issue where some pages of PDF documents appear completely blank in Bluebeam Revu on an ARM-based Windows computer. The problem appears to be associated with Revu 21.11. Their recommended troubleshooting process was: Back up the custom Revu tools and settings. Remove the previous Revu installation using…

I am looking for a way to organize my existing layers on a project that I am working on. I have yet to find a way to move the layer to a sub group. In this example I would like to move all my overlays to one group (Overlays would then contain Power, HVAC & Roof).
My engineering firm prints documents from AutoCAD to PDF constantly, as most do. When we plot or publish the sheets, the bookmark matches the file name, which is also the layout name from AutoCAD (Page Number then Title in our case). The Page Label however has a [1] in front of every label. That is very frustrating to read…
During testing AI integration with Bluebeam Max, I running into limitations with an AI assistant during PDF creation and edits because there is no API access to our Tool Chest markups. For my team to get any real use out of these AI tools, I need an AI assistant to be able to add markups from our Tool Chest to a PDF…
