I just transitioned to a new Fire & Life Safety company in the recent days. By any chance, would anyone be willing to share fire alarm set for my tool chest on BlueBeam? Or provide me with a good site to download a few good fire alarm tool chests.

Hi @CLane,

Thanks for your feedback. In September, we’re adding the ability to open files stored in other apps on your device, make markups, and save changes. For OneDrive, you’ll just need to sync files for offline availability first, then you can open and edit them in Bluebeam. The read/write permission will depend on the provider.

Right now our focus is on field-first workflows. That means your office will continue preparing files ahead of time, and in the field you and your team can reliably access those files offline and add new markups. We are not rebuilding Revu for iPad feature by feature or bringing every Revu capability into mobile. Our priority is on mobile-specific needs like offline access and markup tools, ahead of more office-based workflows.

Markup filtering by layer is on our 2026 roadmap and we know how valuable it will be for work like yours. We’ll also be sharing an update soon on the mobile roadmap and how we plan to continue moving toward workflow parity with Revu for iPad.

Matt,
Thanks for sharing that studio project. Most helpful!

THANK YOU MATT!!! I never thought of using Studio in this way - and it it so helpful that you shared your data! Really appreciate it!

You can do this by using a temporary scaled toolchest - I shared this a couple of years ago https://youtu.be/RxM2ezyGpis

Hi Jes, thanks for the reply. I have noticed that changing directions can make a difference, but not always. I have also tried the CTRL key but my mouse skills make it look like a third grader made the highlights. Drawing a shape around the text and then filling with the highlight option is something that I resort to, but it is more cumbersome.
