Re: Dark Mode / Invert Colors
Hi Jared,
Thanks for posting. This is a great request and something we have heard at various points in the past. What type of work do you do in Revu and how many hours, on average, would you say you spend in Revu?
This is something we'd like to offer in the future and also have some technical work to consider first as part of this. We don't have a date to share as of yet but we'll be sure to keep you updated via this thread.

Re: Add pictures to comments Bluebeam Cloud
By the way, the Bluebeam Cloud is a very good product, which we will probably soon be using as standard for all construction site monitoring. The various suggestions for improvement that I have sent in the forum are basically only minor points that weaken the enthusiasm for the otherwise super product a little.

Forum Translation Feature
A recent post revealed that there is not an integrated translation function here. Is that something that can be added? Or is this intended to be an English-only forum with other versions for various other countries?
Given a choice, I'd like to have one place for all users because answers can come from anywhere and the difference in time zones may help when I'm burning the midnight oil.
Re: Forum Translation Feature
Hey @Luke Shiras,
Thanks for bringing this up! Not all of our members are English-only speakers, and our goal is to create a welcoming space for members from all regions and languages. We are actively looking into possible solutions, including the integration of a translation function (hopefully in the future), to better serve our diverse community. Ultimately, our aim is also to have one central place where all users can connect and share, regardless of language barriers.

Re: allow Layers to be used in ipad version
we also have that problem and had to make individual drawings per what we needed them to see which was a huge pain and a lot of extra prints. we all need this

Re: Stifteinstellungen Bluebeam for iPad
so far, the pen settings from the iPad settings are not carried over to Bluebeam. We'd like to take over the function - pen draws and finger scrolls, zooms and pans - from the iPad settings for better navigation in Bluebeam.
So far, as far as I know and according to the state of knowledge of support, this is not possible and Bluebeam reacts to both the pen and the finger when drawing.
I don't have an answer but I shared an English translation for others in case someone had an answer that might help. (Ich habe keine Antwort, aber ich habe eine englische Übersetzung geteilt, falls jemand eine Antwort hat, die vielleicht hilfreich sein könnte)
Re: Auto Save
Hello @CGaudet & @elizabeth.adams,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us about auto-save, and we've taken note of your request. Could you share more about how an auto-save feature would be beneficial to you?
We do have a document recovery feature, that should allow you to restore file changes in the event of a crash. And if you were to close tabs accidentally, we should be displaying the dialog show below. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do or if you have any other questions.

Re: Getting Started with 3D Drawings.
@Tim S - FPI I will pass this along to the team as I think this is great feedback.
