Re: The Ultimate "Start Here" Guide for Owner/Operator
Ask yourself what would help you more quickly and accurately create bid estimates and bid documents. Write a short list. Look up ways to use Bluebeam to specifically do those things and test a few out on a project you previously bid or a new simple one. For example, you might look at how to do quick material takeoffs and export that data to excel.
The Ultimate "Start Here" Guide for Owner/Operator
I purchased Bluebeam. I'm co—owner of a small civil contractor. I'm multifaceted; project management, estimator, and sometimes superintendent.
We bought Bluebeam for the following reason: "Systematically increase our ability to bid and win projects". Right now, it feels like there is too much to learn in Bluebeam. What are the learning paths you recommend?

Re: Convert shape to Area
I was working with a consultant who painstakingly marked up 90 floor plans with the shape tool (multiple zones on each floor) then asked me to tell them the area of each …… 😭
I have also faced similar situations (but not to that scale)
Please add this function

I also agree that Bluebeam University is a good start. Revu Help is also easy to navigate (https://support.bluebeam.com/online-help/revu20/Content/RevuHelp/Dashboard.htm).
I was hired at my current job because of my Bluebeam experience and have created several instruction manuals based on the Revu Help website. Hiring a certified Bluebeam instructor can get pricey, but if you can get customized one-on-one training, it is well worth the cost. I have been using Blue beam for well over a decade and it is a powerful tool to bid faster and more accurately.
Good luck on your journey!
