Best Of

Thank you Nate,

I will let the client know.

@Vincent ProCore does indeed make an integration with Bluebeam. As of today, it lists as "Coming ****" on our Integrations Site, but that is just because they are just completing their upgrade from our old API endpoints to our new, easier to use API endpoints.

If you check out the ProCore website, it shows that their Bluebeam integration is available, but in Beta (because of the switch to our new endpoints).

Anyhow…. long story short: There is an integration that lets you push your drawings/documents from Procore into Bluebeam Studio for markups and communication and then it round trips your documents back into ProCore when you're done. All you need to do is reach out to ProCore to get the details!

Seems like this is a problem with original file format. If the person that sent it inserted the drawing in Word, it sounds like it was compressed and converted from vector to raster processing, thus the image quality issues.

Could they send the original data that they inserted?

Once you receive a file that has been reduced, I do not believe Bluebeam can un-reduce it and restore the original quality/resolution.

Starting with a plan that has spaces enabled goes a long way to meeting your goals. The Bluebeam Revit Add in is where you can make this happen for Punchlist Plans. The rooms will be shaded blue. When you place an issue, Bluebeam will then automatically associate that markup with the specific room (space).

Then, add a custom column to your markups list for Punch List Text. Other columns if needed, such as trade, or assignment.

When you are done placing issues, you can then export a summary of the markups list, provided you are using this floor plan ONLY as a deficiencies list, or punch list. If you have a bunch of other markups, this could get cluttered.

Hi all,

Just want to update on this discussion. So I try some workarounds, and right now I found a way that I think the best for me.

I simply show the overlaid and compared document side by side. While I probably can combine the PDF, it takes too much effort.

@ElizabethOliver I just took a look and I'm fairly certain that you can't choose a font for the Markup Summaries right now.

I do however think that is a great idea, and I would encourage you to pitch it in the Product Feedback forum where other people can upvote it and maybe talk about why it would be valuable to them. More upvotes means more attention from Bluebeam, means a better chance at getting implemented.

Hi @andyniel - Thank you for posting in Bluebeam Community! 

In order to install or update Bluebeam Revu, you must either be using an administrator account in Windows, or have administrator credentials which can be used for installing software.  It is not possible to update Revu if you have neither.

If you are using Revu on an admin profile in Windows, then you can install Revu updates using the in-app update prompt as normal.  If you have a standard Windows account, however, you must install updates by running the full Revu installer from the Download Center.  You will be automatically prompted to enter administrator credentials when you run the installer.

If your Revu installation is managed by your IT group, contact them for assistance installing Revu updates.

Customer using BeyondTrust management have reported success by adding the BeyondTrust policy for "allow child processes" This will allow users to install the update as a normal user when prompted by Bluebeam.

@jmccomsey Have you contacted support@bluebeam.com when this has occured in the past? This sounds like something they would love to get their hands on. The ability to get some info from the different user who can/can't access the Statuses and maybe some logs from each user would be super helpful.

If you have the Statuses loaded in the actual PDF ahead of loading it into the Session (and not just in a Profile) and all the users have the same Version (21.5) and the same product tier (example - all on Core or Complete) and all the invited attendees have the same permissions in the Session (all have permission to Markup, etc) then they should all see the same Statuses and be able to set them.
