Re: How else do you use Bluebeam? 💡
So I've just found a new use for Bluebeam - mapping out the trees in our orchard.
I haven't gone as far as drawing everything to scale but I've put markups roughly in place of where the trees are and then colour coded for the different types of fruit - apple, pear, cherry, damson and plum. These are also all numbered so when I eventually work out what variety each tree is then I can have a proper record.
This also means that when I make homemade cider I can play around with the combinations of apples from different trees to see what works best.

- Search using key words
- Search using natural language (describe what you’re looking for as you would say it)
- Search across all your folders and subfolders within a single Project
- Filter your search by Type, Folder, Created Date, or Modified Date
- Jump to the exact spot in a document where a searched markup appears (Bluebeam on web only)
How to get started?
- Sign up for the Studio Project Search beta here.
- Follow the setup instructions outlined in the program activities to create your Bluebeam ID (if you don’t already have one)
- Complete each test activity before September 15th, 2025
Note that to partake in this beta program, you need a Bluebeam Early Access account and Revu 21.7 (download links will be posted in the project) and/or access to Bluebeam on web.
Thank you! we look forward to your feedback!

Re: Object Handles
That's a great question @Laura Evans. Unfortunately I don't have an answer on how to adjust the handle size, but I have a couple of relatively simple work arounds that you could try:
First is one of my favorite updates in Revu in the last year - the ability to hide individual markups. Simply right click on the markup that is causing you problems and select "Hide". This get's the markup out of the way so that you can work on the adjacent or overlapping markup.
To bring everything back into view simply click on the "1 Markup Hidden" flag in the upper left corner of your screen.
Second idea would be to change the "Order" of your markup. Typically the newest markup is on top - and this is why it is selected over something that was place previously in the same overlapping area. With the same right click you can select the "Order" option and send the markup to the back (bottom) of the markup stack, or bring it to the front. This works really slick when you want to ensure all of your markups are visible:
The 3rd option is one that I haven't used much, but it might be just what you are looking for. If you left click on a markup and it isn't the one that you want click the "shift" key. You can then "Cycle" to select another markup in the same general area:
Note that all three of these options are available as shortcut keys (or a set of keystrokes). Some can be setup as toolbar buttons. My favorite way to use "Hide" is as a button programed on my mouse.
Hope this helps! 😎

Re: Continuous measurement
I think that the only way that you'll achieve that is to do three separate markups - one on top of another.
Re: What’s New in Bluebeam Beta: Join the Revu 21.6 Test Project Today!
Just to be clear, Bluebeam 21.3 is the last version of Bluebeam that will be free of AI Bloat. Please, for the love of everything that is sacred, make AI an optional installation like OCR is and not part of the main product. It destroys everything that it comes into contact with. Just look at Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Edge Browser… Bluebeam is a fine piece of software. Keep it that way.
