The new Hide (selected markup) option in Revu is my new CAD Selection Cycle tool!

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I know that Bluebeam makes it difficult to select a markup that is under another markup—try selecting a markup four levels deep! BUT! I ran a demo today, and a 💡 went off in my head. Can I make a Keyboard Shortcut from the R21.2 Hide selected markup feature and use it to quickly hide obscuring markups to get to the markup underneath to make the changes I need? And then quickly turn everything back on.

The answer is yeah, it works well 🤘

My chosen keyboard shortcut is Shift + Spacebar.

What are your thoughts?

Very nice trick, but this should be a built-in function that Bluebeam provides to all users

It's a slick feature, and adding a shortcut makes it better. Thanks for sharing!

@Josh Gebelein This is indeed a built in feature as of Revu 21.2 (Just released at the end of June).

You can hide markups through the right-click menu and then you can restore them using the button that appears in the upper-left corner. Revu also has a built in menu that allows you to customize the vast number of keyboard shortcuts and commands available with Bluebeam. Just select Revu > Keyboard Shortcuts.

You don't even have to use Shift + Space…. you can use whatever combo you want!

DragDrop registration didnot succeed Revu 21.6
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.

Is there a way to downgrade the version of REVU I am using?
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title.

A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…

Revu keeps windows pdf file status as open or locked even after closing the file or closing Revu
When this happens, I can't move a directory with that file. This reddit post solved it for me. You just need to disable the recent file list in Revu. But I would like to use the recent file list feature someday, now that I have to turn it off. Please fix this Bluebeam. Thanks.…
