Re: How to Track Project Issues
Typically, I see this handled by an excel sheet that has columns for the issue, date received, due date, who's responsible, who responded, and response date.
I don't think BB could do this better unless you added custom columns to your markup list and used the markup filters to help sort the comments by "due date" (for example)

✴️ Feature Highlight: Quantity Link
Takeoffs and estimating can be time-consuming, but Quantity Link in Bluebeam Revu Complete helps streamline the process by linking your measurement data directly to Excel. As you update your takeoff in Revu, your spreadsheet updates automatically helping you keep calculations accurate and reducing manual entry errors. (Note: This feature is only available in Revu Complete.)
What are your best practices for using Quantity Link to save time and reduce mistakes?

Re: I replied to all comments, now I need to show as text box.
Yeah i read and tried that.. no luck. also; it looks like it only would show up when you print it thus losing any functionality of formatting, location, size, etc..

Re: I replied to all comments, now I need to show as text box.
Yes, sorry i should have explained that better.
My "work around"
- expand the markup window
- in the sheet, left click the original comment
- in the markup window, right click on the reply under the selected OG comment
- click "copy [comment]"
- in the sheet, ctrl + V paste.
I was just hoping for something easy and perhaps automated.

Re: Is it possible to compare and also overlay PDFs?
I think the easiest answer to you question would be that it's not a thing. You can do several workarounds and hope for the best, but I just don't see a quick and easy way to get what you are looking for. Unless you're dealing with hundreds or more differences I'd just do an overlay and then go through and mark each change I see with a certain markup to make it so the markup list captures as many changes as possible, while keeping the drawings as clean as possible. You could do the comparison instead and try your best to clean it up, but I find the overlay feature more intuitive for my usual purposes.
I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but I just tried for a couple hours to find an alternative in which I used both comparison and overlay together, but they pretty much always created a big headache of either missing many helpful changes or adding useless ones. The fewer issues I had with needing to add callouts, the more I had to delete, and the few I had to delete, the more I had to add. It just wasn't very helpful ultimately, because it caused so many interruptions to a steady workflow.
Re: Substract area from wall measurement
Hi @Rafael Urtecho ! After creating the area measurement, go back into Tools and select Polygon Cutout.
Draw a polygon for the door or window. The area now just represents the wall after the cutout.
After this, you can select the Area tool again. The cursor will turn into a paint can as it moves over the door or window. Click there to get the area of the door window.
