  • Hard to say if this is truly my 'favorite', but I use it repeatedly: taking a snapshot of a graphic element in a drawing (perhaps a door or some symbol), paste it into the same or another PDF, colorize it to make it red, and use it as an insta-markup.

    Honestly, I'm not new to Bluebeam (been using it since 10, maybe), but I've always used it for basic plan mark-up and PDF editing. Not until recently, did I start learning more of the functions and even discovered this community. I look forward to utilizing this community more and learning more from you all.

  • Exporting schedules and turning them into usable Excel data has been my number one. Low key, number two is snapshotting a room tag that has been covered up by an engineers markup, pasting in place, changing colors on the snapshot from White to Clear, and flattening. Now me and the field can see what room tag was behind their markup!

    @LCrago - you are not alone!! I've heard so many Bluebeam users say they only use a handful of features and when they learn more, they're shocked!! Love that you found the Bluebeam Community…makes my day!!
