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.
Good afternoon, I've been having this issue with Bluebeam where after I take snapshot to make a custom tool chest item, the text in that item changes into symbols when I reopen Bluebeam. Attached is a snippet of said change. if this has been resolved before, I apologize. Please send me the link to the solution. this also…
How do you revise previous mark ups? I am unable to select and change any of them. I've tried unflattening and it doesn't work.
Is there a way to combine multiple Spaces? I often create several spaces that I’d like to merge into one. Bluebeam breaks up the counts by space, which is EXTREMELY USEFUL, but sometimes it gets in the way. For example, today I’m working on a project where I need to identify all areas that require Hospital Grade…
Can anyone knows how to solve this issue? I have tried relogging and also re installing the app, but it is still happening.
Could I use my ipad keyboard in conjunction with bluebeam for ipad? Trying to undo some action with Commad-Z but nothing seems to work. Please advise.
Hi everyone! Curious if anyone has run into this and maybe could help me understand the reasoning behind this issue. I'm using the area measurement tool for my takeoffs. For what I am doing I need to omit the walls which leads to a ton of controls points. Not always, but has been very noticeable today, is when using the…
Randomly a few of my markups and snap shots saved in tool chest lose their properties. When they are placed on a document they cant be moved or deleted. Undo is the only way to get rid of them. When I select them the properties side bar has nothing. I also noticed that the corner markers are gray instead of blue. The only…
In our environment, we have "office workers" who predominantly have Adobe licenses and "field workers" who all use Bluebeam. I've recently been told when one of the office workers marks up/makes notes on a PDF with Microsoft Edge, this cannot be seen by the Bluebeam users. I've tested this and the notes can be seen in the…
Hi All, I would like Bluebeam create Page Labels and Bookmarks from the bookmark meta data in my PDFs. However in their PDF exports AutoCAD includes a Sheet and Views bookmark above the sheet number and description one. This seem to mess up Bluebeam's ability to create the labels automatically. I would use Page Area option…
As I understand it, Revu for iOS will be removed from the App Store at the end of this year. Users are recommended to use Cloud instead, which imo hasn’t caught up with Revu for iOS, yet. Furthermore Revu for iOS could be used by users for editing in Studio Project without a subscription. Will Cloud also support this? I’m…
