Re: Mac Support
I'm not too in touch with Windows on ARM, but I'm very in touch with needing a valuable pdf editing/markup solution for MacOS. I recently gave up with my outdated Bluebeam 2.0 Mac software as my other software needs required that i upgrade from Catalina. I've tried many different types of mac based pdf software and none have the capabilities of even the MacOS 2.0 Bluebeam. I resorted to using Windows Bluebeam w/ Parallels… which, more or less works, but is not ideal. Nemetschek Group owns Bluebeam now and their Vectorworks software is developed for both platforms (windows and mac), why can't they put a little effort into Bluebeam for Mac again?

Those are pretty vague and widespread. It's almost an all or nothing. Can't add user groups though. I tried and there is no follow button. I did finally find for the discussion groups. Was expecting it to be more broken into actual categories for markups, studio, etc.. More topical than just Ideas, Hub and peer support. will be more functional if you can get a little more granular I would think.
Re: Shortcut to Colorize Snapshots
@Craig Smith Good suggestions of using the Properties Panel and the Properties Toolbar for one click access after placing the snapshot.
@Erica Bowie If you are using the G key for the Snapshot, you might look into assigning another key (Revu → Keyboard Shortcuts) to open up the Color Processing window. In my example, I used O as it was unassigned. As you test out letters, it'll let you know what is assigned to it.

Re: Shortcut to Colorize Snapshots
@Ryan Arbuckle - I've explored the Color Processing window option to make it a shortcut, but it doesn't pull up the Color Processing window of the snapshot. I know it's only a few steps, but I use it quite often and it would be nice if there was an option to cut down on them. Thank you for the response though!
Re: Shortcut to Colorize Snapshots
I use this often in exactly the way you describe. Super helpful when cross coordinating amongst disciplines. After pasting your screenshot. 1. Click "Change Colors" in settings. 2. Click "Colorize" from pull down tab at top 3) Select color and wallah!
Sidenote, as an overlay I also play with the Opacity for better readability of the linework. Cheers!

HI @Erica Bowie,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us about this, and we've taken note of your request. While we may not be able to accommodate every feature request, we greatly value knowing which features are important to you. Could you share more information about why you use snapshot?
Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do or if you have any other questions. We look forward to collaborating in the future.

Re: Shortcut to Colorize Snapshots
It's actually pretty easy to do as long as you have the settings pane open. once you paste the snapshot all you have to do is click on fill color and change it while the snapshot is still selected. Or if you have the advanced menu turned on the settings should show also on the top ribbon for Line and fill. There isn't a way to set defaults which is interesting even though the button exists. Since there are defaults set already, seems you should be able to change them to make this a one step process same as when you insert text, etc..

Great initiative, Bluebeam, nice to meet, Marco!
The first feedback I have is this: I was quite hesitant activating all the notifications and email options, so it came to me that it would be ideal to get a weekly overview per email. I hope the "Weekly Email Digest" fulfills that wish. I switched on all notifications, and off all email, except the one at the bottom for this Weekly Email Digest. If so, maybe simplify the first screen and make that the default for new members and a link to this list for later fine tuning. Great to communicate!
