Automated page labels via bookmarks from Revit print dialog
I would like to be able to create page labels automatically via the bookmarks for documents created using the Revit print dialog.
Currently, PDFs created using the Revit print dialog (not the BB plugin) have bookmarks nested under a non-functioning bookmark called "Sheets". Because of this you need to do a few manual things before you can create page labels from bookmarks:
- Select the first bookmark (below the Sheets bookmark), hold shift, select the last bookmark.
- Click and drag to un-nest the bookmarks.
- Go into Page Labels and select Create Page Labels From Bookmarks.
- Ensure all pages are selected.
- Click ok.
This is a very common procedure that people need to remember to do every single time they create a PDF from Revit. (Spoiler alert: they rarely remember.) It would be great if there were some built-in function within Revu to handle this automatically.

Re: 🗓️ June 2025 Challenge - Revu Remix!
Inspired by an activity in a BUG meeting, I use it to do competitive or collaborative word search puzzles with my kids. Each person picks their mark up color. Then we all try to find all the words in the word search.
Change Callout Leader Thickness Without Adding a Text Box
I frequently use callouts, but sometimes I want the callout to have a leader line without enclosing the text in a box. Currently, if the line thickness is set to 0.00 pt, the text appears by itself with a 1.00 pt leader line. However, if I adjust the line thickness, a box automatically appears around the text.
Is there a way to change the leader thickness without forcing the text into a box? Any workarounds or settings I might be missing?

Re: 🗓️ June 2025 Challenge - Revu Remix!
I use Bluebeam for my classroom whiteboard while I teach. I work out the problems in class with the students, and when the class is over the file is posted for anyone that missed the session. I have a touch screen laptop with a stylus, and pair it with a second computer to run a power point presentation, and moderate the virtual meeting.
Re: ✴️ Feature Highlight: Dimmer
I use the dimmer a lot when measuring things like drainage on large housing schemes. Basically, I will measure the scheme with the drawing as normal but then I'll apply the dimmer so I can do a quick scan over the site to make sure I haven't missed something - an area without any markups really does stand out rather quickly.

Unbound Conference Sessions are posted!
The sessions have been posted! There are so many I am interested in. It looks like the 1 pm slot is stacked both days!
It also looks like there are some repeats, so if you missed one you were interested in on Wednesday, it might also be running on Thursday.

Help Us Understand How You Use Profiles in Revu
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a product designer at Bluebeam, and I’m currently working on Tool Set syncing across devices in Revu.
As part of this, we’re exploring how profiles affect tool set visibility.
We’d love your input! Can you take a second to answer this one-question poll?
Thanks,

CALCULATOR
adding a construction calculator to Bluebeam would be fantastic. Having to use another application or my phone while reviewing drawings is very tedious. when I should be able to have one within this application.
