it would be so easy if there were a function to group the tabs and name them (for example, Microsoft)(different colour coding for each tab, name the tab etc.) when there are "N" number of tabs opened, it is hard to organise the tabs.
When reviewing and commenting on PDF's, many times you have multiple people reviewing the document and making comments (GC, Architect, Engineer, Consultant, Subcontractor). One can look at the mark-up list at the bottom to know who made the comment, but it would be nice to have a "title block" that could be used for a…
When creating a quantity link, can I filter items based on selected criteria? For instance, I have 5 subjects and each contains 10 label items, I'd like to display only the label items for the chosen subject. Currently, all 50 items are shown, regardless of the subject selected. Is there a way to achieve this filtering…
Hello, Just wanted to mention that if there's a way that Bluebeam could be used within the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) opposed to the .pdf related tools that Autodesk provides within ACC, I believe a lot of people would prefer to use your tools instead. This would require integrating Bluebeam into ACC's cloud…
Hello, Does Bluebeam have any intentions of pursuing a Fedramp government offering? Does Bluebeam have solid documentation on how to disable cloud functionality? This article referenced these support threads: How to disable access to Bluebeam services | Bluebeam Technical Support We've got a customer who wants to use…
Updates below What's up ya'll? I am on a Windows PC, Revu 21.4. I do not have any access to the tool chest keyboard shortcut "alt + x". All other keyboard shortcuts I have used operate just fine. I've reached out to Bluebeam support and also just did a complete uninstall and reinstall of the program. Updates February 7th,…
What's up ya'll? I am trying to find an efficient method to run multiple Bluebeam instances on one project file so that one instance (on one screen) is my active takeoff/markups and the other instance (second screen) live updates those markups. Does such a thing exist? I am an electrical estimator and work on a variety of…
What's up, ya'll? This is a two part problem, probably related to each other. I'm on Revu x64 Complete and I updated to 21.4. I'm now having a consistent issue when I have more than one instance open where I am unable to edit my markups in the markups list. This has also happened once with only one instance open. You'll…
Please turn status settings into an importable files like tool chests/btx files or hatch patterns/bhx files. It will make things easier when you have a user that prefers their own profile instead of the company provided profile. Currently, if the company's default statuses change, the user will need to load a new profile…
We review quite some documents from a supplier. If I send a document for review via Bluebeam, reviewers give their comment. In the final meeting to discuss all the comments, sometimes a comment is rejected. In that case it would be great if I can delete the comment directly in the meeting, instead that I have to ask the…

My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
Hello all, New to Revu.. I've set the scale on the measurement tool, but when I measure a known size on the drawing, it is showing a smaller size. I've noticed that the page size of the plan is 8.5x11. It's the only difference I've seen from previous plans I've recently done without a problem. Can you advise what I need to…
Does anyone know how to print a markup summary to PDF in column form, but not have the (1) designation on any of the selected columns?
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to take a comment list and use the list to mark-up plans. We have a standard list in Word that has about 100 comments. I want to take the list and allow the use of one item at a time when marking up a plan. For example, one of the comments could say, "Provide rating where adjacent…
Hello everyone. To day I am posing a question that I hope someone can assist me with. In short what I want is to know if Bluebeam is capable of opening a File (any type at all) from a CAD program such as Microstation or AutoCad, and recognize a line as an actual line, instead of just as an image (PDF)? A bit of background:…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
One part question one part idea for y'all today. My office uses studio session extensively to redline and coordinate with several different consultant teams at once. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
I was sent a drawing in Word format so I used the bluebeam pdf printer to convert the file type. The problem that I'm having is that when I open it to measure the normal navigation controls don't work and when you zoom in the drawing quality gets bad. Looking for any assistance anyone can provide. Thank you!
It would be a great help for me if locked objects were marked when clicked on, for example with a padlock, as it does in other programs.
Greetings, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer. Hopefully I can get some help here. Is it possible to overlay and also compare two PDFs? When we only compare the files, we only see the cloud and sometimes it's not easy to tell what is the difference. If I can also overlay those PDFs, I can see the color…
