custom shapes for line starts and line ends

alvin.fadhil · 2024-06-04T06:34:19+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I need to create custom shapes for line starts and line ends. Currently, I can create new line styles and patterns, but not custom line ends or starts. I would appreciate if someone could help me with this or if it's possible to request the developers to add this feature.

Hi @DisplayName, thanks for this feedback! could you let us know more about how this feature could help you save time and effort?

We need to draw reinforcement plans, or when reviewing drawings, it is necessary to show how a reinforcement bar should be depicted on the drawings. Essentially, we need to create input for the designers. The existing end variants are not complete, and therefore, other types that are commonly used in Sweden are needed.

Currently, we are forced to use the "polyline" tool, which unfortunately is not efficient, and the ends need to be drawn, enlarged, or reduced manually.

Hello, to add to this, how does one adjust the "location" of the end, like in Adobe Illustrator, you can have the "end" at the beginning of the end type, or in the middle (currently the only option). See image for example from Illustrator, what they call a "Cap".

@Philip Mulkins, when the markup is selected, the Properties Toolbar will be active. Clicking "Start" and "End" allow you to choose from the dropdown list. Once a choice has been made, you can scale the Start Size and End Size (defaults to Auto).

Thank you, but you are missing my point. See below:

In this case I am using the following settings.

What I would like to see as a feature (what I thought I explained above, but not well) is that the line would not extend to the middle of the circle, but stop at the tangent of the circle (in this case).

In the following example (all the same length of line) only the top arrow makes sense as the "attachment" point of the "end".

Does my request come across better?

My apologies - I misread that. I understand that request now and can see how more location options would benefit you!

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Optimisation for the new arm based windows machines
I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have a couple of suggestions that I think could make Bluebeam even better. First off, I've been really impressed with the new ARM-based Windows machines, especially those using the Snapdragon Elite X. They’re powerful, have great battery life—kind of like MacBooks in…
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
