Best Of

I just moved to Bluebeam a couple months ago and I am very impressed with the functions it offers.

I am working on a job with multiple people and am curious if we place a file on the network can multiple people get in the doc at the same time with read/write ability?

I am thinking "Studio Sessions" might be the path i need to go down?

Hi I was wondering if anyone that's been using match filters in the advanced options for batch overlay pages that could help me?

I have two documents and would like to match the pages.

The two file names are:

1. 23-23_F06_Akl St Beach_Arch Drawings_TENDER-CONSENT_250122
2. 23-23 Akl St Beach_IFC

The page indexes match, the file names don't.

Two thirds of the page labels match, and then the rest seem to have issues with spacing around dashes.

For example one of the sheets might have two different labels like the following:

1. A0.22 - Existing & Demolition -GA Elevations
2. A0.22 - Existing & Demolition - GA Elevations

Trying to match by file name, page index, I've tried match filter:

23-26*

This results in 0 matched pages.

Trying to match by page label, I've tried:

A#.##*

This results in no better matches compared with leaving it blank.

Does anyone how I could get this feature to work?

I have tried page region and can get more matched pages with that, but prefer the speed of page index and page label considering that the files should in theory match.

Appreciate any help with this.

I have never noticed this in the right-click menu and I have been in there a million times!

@Matt Ruhrer, is correct. to calculate length, you must use either the Measurement Tool or the Polylength Tool.

Bluebeam Take Note: This situation highlights a strong case for Bluebeam to implement an item substitution feature. Currently, @Davide would need to redraw all these lines manually. Imagine the efficiency if Bluebeam allowed us to select existing lines and convert them directly into measurements. The time savings across all our workflows would be significant.

Davide,

The line doesn't have a length associated with it as it is for drawing. You need to use a measurement tool to get the length. You can create specific tools using the measurement tools also to customize the output.

Studio Sessions is the way to go. Follow my How-To guide to get started.

As mentioned, the selector disappears with multiple markups. One thing you could try is to change one of the hexagons to the shape that you'd prefer. Then, right-click the new shape and choose Format Painter.

Your cursor will become a paintbrush. You will be able to click the remaining shapes and have them change.
