Re: creation/manipulation of bluebeam tools using the btx file/code/xml structure
Hey Kyle, we might be able to help each other out on this. I saw your post on Reddit as well. These toolboxes can be edited programmatically but it's…complicated. I have written tools that work and am closing in on something I could call a product. In order to be effective with it you kind of have to do a deep dive into understanding the encoding, the bluebeam custom columns infrastructure and the PDF file format. I'm primarily focused on building out estimating tools using databases. So for example you'd create a template of a tool with custom column values and then it would populate an entire set of tools from a database.

Re: Measure length along a sloped curve with the Perimeter tool
Correct. Currently, I'm measuring the horizontal distance and elevation difference then using the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the slope. I use it for guardrails, handrails, ramps, etc. Pretty much everything on a slope. As a general rule, I keep any horizontal, non-sloped, sections separate from the calculations.
Tool Labels Disappeared After Update
Is there a setting to change what dialog box pops up when you hover over tools in you tool chest? Prior to the update all of my custom tools for markups would show the label that I made for them when you hovered your mouse over them. Now they only show the measurement type.

Re: 📢 What's New: Revu 21.6 (Updated)
Hi Angela, I did end up finding the toolchest updates. They are in various settings locations when clicking on the gear icons in the general toolchest pane and the individual toolchests themselves.
Re: The future of Revu for iOS
Hi Shawn,
Is there any update on what functionality in Bluebeam Cloud will be available when? With the IOS Revu ap being removed in Dec 2025 and a significant functionality gap between this and IOS Bluebeam Cloud we need some guarantee that the current functionality that is business critical for us will be provided before Revu is shutdown.
Thanks
Elizabeth
Re: I have duplicate "My Tools" chests?
Probably you stored the profile in a different folder than the default Bluebeam is using (appdata/roaming). If you move your profile there and relink to that folder from the profile settings, these duplicates will be removed and everything works as normal. Hopefully this issue will be patched out soon.
Re: I have duplicate "My Tools" chests?
Yes, this has something to do with the storage location if it is anywhere other than the default. Mine are stored in Dropbox so I'm encountering this.
I've been in contact with Bluebeam Technical Support and they are looking into this issue. No fixes yet though!
Re: Add a button to re-enable the Title bar when hidden
Agreed! or at least have the title bar show up when the mouse hovers next to it. It can get very frustrating for someone that has no idea how to bring it back.
Re: Adjusting Properties in Bulk on Forms
Can you select the fields all at once using the Forms panel? With the fields selected, open the Properties panel. Under Appearance, you should be able to adjust the Font and Font Size.
