Offset Tool for line and area
It would be useful to have a offset function. for example you may wish to draw an area that is day 2.00m bigger all round. An off set function would allow you to do this.
Re: Advanced Overlay Options
To add to @Shaya Birnbaum clever tips, when you paste the Snapshot, you can use Crtl+Shift+V to paste to the same location on the PDF in view as where it was copied from.
Another tip, G is the shortcut key to SnapShots, Shift+G is the shortcut key to SnapShots without Revu Markups, just the authored PDF content.
Re: Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
This would be helpful to my internal team, too. Our PDFs are essentially living documents with changes tracked in red ("redlines") over several weeks or months, after which those changes are incorporated back into the original source and a new updated PDF is published.
Even if person A updates the equipment and PDF with change A, we often have person B come along with further necessary changes B, and occasionally even have person C with more necessary changes C. It is absolutely helpful to track that final change "C" is an amalgamation of changes from persons A, B, and C, but it is not helpful for latter persons to have to cover up previous updates with e.g. a blank white rectangle.
And when using the "cover up" method, the final reviewer who is incorporating changes back into the original source is forced to wade through conflicting markup history from three different people on the same page. By supporting markup edits, the final reviewer would only have to review a single markup history collaboratively created by three people.
Re: Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
We have the same problem… our lead reviewer consolidates and verify comments from engineers. any conflicting comments or comments that is not needed must be remove. The lead reviewer finalized comments before document controller sends it to the originator. If the review lead cannot remover or delete comments that is not needed it is causing a bottle neck / delay. Please make this happen. The session report should capture any removal deletion of comments so there is a security in place.
Unable to download an older version of Revu 21
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6.
Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong with the display of the temporary line segments. Installing v21.6 is a quick solution.

Repeat last tool/markup (similar to AutoCAD™)
"Reuse markup tool" is a nice feature, but it only works only for the markups in the toolbox. not line, text, etc. as those seem to be "reusable" by default.
It would be a nice addition to the "tool belt" to add an option similar to AutoCAD where the last tool that was used, and it was deselected, would be selected again (ACAD default is the space bar). IT could be applicable to same tools as "repeat markup tool".
Re: COUNTS WITH SNAPSHOT
Turn on the option to include markps in your snapshot. Go to Revu > Preferences > Tools > (scroll ALL the way down) Enable the option for "Include Markups in Snapshots".
That should help.
Coordinate Export - Lines/Misc.
Hi,
I would like to request the functionality to export the points of lines created by the mark-up tool. (Currently only the begin point is available, but both start and end points are needed.)
I see the end point coordinates are available in the properties, but there is not currently a way to export that data.
This would be extremely handy in automating the transfer of markups from Bluebeam to a CAD software.
Thanks!
Garison

Re: Advanced Overlay Options
@Matthew Avard, as far as I know the overlay itself cannot be adjusted. But there is a neat workaround. Instead of the overlay tool, try using the snapshot tool. Take a snapshot of the old sheet and paste it onto the new one. Assign it to a layer and you have your overlay. I usually colorize the snapshot so the differences stand out.
Hope this helps answer your question.
Re: 📍🚀In the DMV area and a member of the United States BUG? Get your VERY special discount code!
For those not familiar,
The DMV refers to the DC Metro Area, encompassing Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. DMV cities include Alexandria, Frederick, and other DC suburbs.
Don't worry, I had to look it up too.
