Re: Dark Mode / Invert Colors
Hi Jonathan and Jared,
Happy to share we will be offering "Dark Mode" with Revu 21.3, targeted for release at the end of September. This was something that we have been considering for some time, and once we were able to do some feasibility testing, we were able to offer this to solve the needs you all described. Thanks for posting and helping us to define the future of Revu!
Unlock Studio Markups
I have heard the request over and over to unlock the markups in Studio Session so not just the author can edit them. I understand the purpose of locking them to safeguard the integrity of the original intent of the author. If you could make this an option in the Session Settings, it would be nice if the Session Owner had the ability to choose lock or unlock. Sometimes we need both and the Admin should be able to pick.
Convert shape to Area
I don't know how many times I have drawn a rectangle or polygon shape to create an outline or fill, only to need the area. Instead of redrawing it, it would be great to be able to simply convert it to an area. Or have them always calculate area regardless of the tool?
Bluebeam Session integration with Sharepoint
Hi, I hope you are doing well. As a engineering consultation company, we go through a lot of markups for many large company projects and use the Bluebeam Revu Sessions a lot of realtime collaboration within PDFs. However, with how Bluebeam Projects and Bluebeam Sessions are setup, it can be very hard to maintain a standard structure when dealing with many iterations of markups. Just recently with the push for doing everything virtually, we've been finding ourselves using a lot of SharePoint features to manage documents, and collaborate with each other on files. I know that Bluebeam currently has an integration with SharePoint, however it only supports opening files from the online browser.
A feature I would absolutely love to see, and which would help out our company a lot, would be to have an integration to have "session like" Realtime collaboration from PDF documents hosted in SharePoint. This would allow for us to easily manage document control and host many live internal sessions. I understand that this is not currently being considered as a foreseeable integration that Bluebeam is working on (according to Bluebeam Support), but it would be a very useful and widely used integration. We are actively seeking a product that can support this type of functionality.
I hope this is maybe a feature that can be considered at Bluebeam, thank you.
Support for Revit 2025 and AutoCAD MEP 2025
When will Bluebeam provide an update for 21 that supports Revit and AutoCAD 2025? It is almost September 2024, and they are only supporting Navisworks 2025 so far with the latest build of 21.2.
Feedback aboout Bluebeam
I am using Bluebeam for last 15yrs. This is a very useful tool to run our projects smoothly. The tools like Overlay. compare, dimesnion scale, search etc. are very much useful

Re: Dark Mode / Invert Colors

Re: Drag and drop pages within open documents
You could do that…
- Open Bluebeam Revu: If you haven’t already, open Bluebeam Revu.
- Right-Click on the Bluebeam Icon: Right-click the Bluebeam icon on the taskbar.
- Select Bluebeam Revu: From the context menu, select “Bluebeam Revu.” This will open another independent instance of Bluebeam.
- Drag and Drop Pages: You can now work with multiple instances. To move/copy pages from one document to another, simply drag and drop the thumbnails from one Thumbnails panel to the other.
- Undo If Needed: If a page accidentally moves or gets cut, use the “Undo” command (Ctrl+Z) to revert the action.
- This will put the pages back and still leave the copied pages intact.
Cool…🤞
