HI BB team,
Is there any way we can delete or hide the "comment" column in BB's tool chest. It is not used in our company and takes up needed space when taking off the plans.
MDT, I hear what you are saying, but I have never found a way to hide it. But let's dig a little deeper into what you are trying to do or could possibly do. It is easy to Hide the Comments column in the Toolset by simply dragging the grip across to provide more display area real estate or drag the Comments column closer to the display area. But that then hides the Lable column. I assume you have a need for the Lable column.
If you do not need a Label, that is a simple fix to give the Subject more space and fewer Comments information, but not removed.
Now, let's dig into why you are not using the Comments column. I come from a CAD Management background, so if I can communicate easily with end-users without walking over or jumping on Teams, I will take advantage of that function. In Toolsets, I use the Comments column to describe how to use the Markup in the Toolset. Does everyone read it, It's probably not, but it's there and reduced the number of times they asked me, 'How does this work.'
Good luck with your Toolset.
Good morning, since this issue shows up in multiple posts and I agree with them I would like to add further explanation below.
When performing a take off you want to maximize the plan sheet space you are viewing. Currently if you drag the "grip" to narrow the tool chest display area it slides the comment and label columns with it until they reach their minimum width and then it starts to overlap the subject area leaving your subject area to only +/- 8-12 characters. Then if you go to expand the grip to reveal more characters it first unveils the comment and label columns and by the time the subject column grows in width you've now lost a good section of your entire screen. The two fixes would be 1. ability to hide columns 2. when you drag the grip have it start to cover the label comment columns immediately.
Agreed! Thanks for detailing this issue. the comment column takes up so much real-estate and its pretty much useless.
Actually, I take that back, well at least some of it. I just checked and you can now HIDE the Comment section.
and just slide the column over, and now its GONE:
I also see that you can pretty much hide all columns you want, so this issue is FIXED!
I'm at the latest update, my columns do not collapse as far as you're showing
This remains the narrowest in my case…
I see there was an update 6/6/25, but it seems it is not applied to older versions. I cannot fully hide the column and it is very frustrating to repeatedly minimize as much as I can every time I open tools.
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to overlay markup across pages in a way that when a change is made on one page, all the other pages update. This would be exceptionally useful when planning routes of pipes etc between floors. (Bluebeam Revu) Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi All, I am trying to add revised sheets to my Set(.bex) using Batch Slip Sheet. The problem is when I hit the Match Pages button I am receiving error messages (See images below).

When I zoom on one tab the other tab is adjusted as well. I am using my mouse scroll to do this. I also just updated to the latest version of Bluebeam. Is there a fix for this? Is anyone else experiencing this?
When taking off quantities in lengths i prefer to use m rather than mm. Is there a way to set this as the default for all my take offs

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue on a new laptop and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Hello! I am trying to get curves to draw when using the polyline and polygon markup tools and they show up like they are going to be drawn as a curve but then when I click along they 'revert' as a straight line. To clarify, when using either markup tool, I hold 'Ctrl' then click and drag to create the curve/arc that I want…
Several Municipalities are requesting the PDF's be Unlocked so they can mark-up and add their stamps. Much to Engineers sealed drawings, they do not want them unlocked. I tried scanning and sending them, but they are still locked. Can a blank mark-up layer be added before or after password protecting the drawing?
Hi everyone, I’m working with a new license that doesn’t seem to work. Everything is greyed out, and I can’t select any functions in the different documents. Is there something I forgot to activate or similar? I’ve paid for the “Core” version.
Hi Everyone, I have been back and forth all morning trying to reset my scale sizing. it is showing my measurements in inches and ft but I need them in m2. When I then go to remeasure it just goes back to the original inches and ft. Could some one please tell me how to reset this fully as i have never seen this before.
