Re: Secondary Steel Takeoff in Bluebeam (For an Ex: Bent Plate, Angles, CMU Wall Supports, Sill Angle..)
@Gopi J , your best bet is to make your own toolset. it takes time to set up but will ultimately speed things up in the future. Especially if you do any work on older steel structures like bridges as many of the old WF beams or Tied-Arch built structures, rather than more up-to-date structures use different values.
Mine looks like this ↓
Be sure to set the measurements "Depth" Values to ones that will work with what you are trying to do in the measurements Tab.
Good luck and Happy Bluebeaming!

It's usually always coffee and a bagel with cream cheese. Sometimes a donut! 🍩

@FeliciaM, Before you go with the Nuclear option, did you try to unlock the drawing by unflattening (Ctrl+Shift+U)?
I would try that first.

This isn't a complete answer, but we have worked with clients in steel on various things in the past. We don't have any videos or classes recorded that are specifically on steel, but you can check out our regular quantity takeoff courses to get a better idea of what you can create with measurements and custom columns to get you there. Don't forget that everyone with a seat in Revu has access to Bluebeam University, which has both self-paced courses and live training.
Another recommendation I have for you is to check out the Revu Custom Libraries. There, you'll find a welding toolset and a structural steel profile that includes more specialized toolsets that may help you with this project.
Re: Revu 21 sign in screen is blank when trying to sign in
@joshcwest, Sounds like you may need to get REVU® IT to look at this. I am not a MacBook user so I couldn't offer that much insight.
However, I can show you where to find out if you have 32-bit or 64-bit. go into your C: drive where the program files are saved - My file path looks like this C:\Program Files\Bluebeam Software\Bluebeam Revu\21\Revu and it will show a folder titled X32 or x64. Whatever you see there is the version that you have.
Good luck, and happy Bluebeaming.
