Hey Bluebeamers! This week, we're highlighting the Highlight tool! The Highlighter tool was a popular feature discussed among Bluebeam User Group members during the GOVBUG & COBUG meeting earlier this week and thought it's a great feature to share here too! When we think of a Highlighter, we often think of the…

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…
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…
Beim Prüfen der PDF-Dateien ist es erforderlich, dass einzelne Textpassagen als "Falsch" gekennzeichnet werden müssen. Das Durchstreichen als Kreuz/X wird schnell krumm und schief, da man manuell zwei Linien ziehen muss. Besser wäre eine Möglichkeit, mit der man einen Bereich aufziehen kann und in diesem Rechteck erscheint…
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…
Has anyone experienced where I go to create a text box with a pointer and then when I'm selecting it I get a weird graphics issue, then when I start typing I can't see my text? Computer: Windows 11 version 24H2 Grahics: Nvidia RTX 4000 Bluebeam Version: Bluebeam Revu 21.5 Graphics Issue: Can't see text while typing Can see…
When creating a custom status, such as "I did this", I can change the comment outline color but not the background color. I am able to pick on the comment then individually change the highlight color, but the custom status should be able to change the highlight color when the status is changed. This would make the comments…
adding a construction calculator to Bluebeam would be fantastic. Having to use another application or my phone while reviewing drawings is very tedious. when I should be able to have one within this application.
Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…

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?
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
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…
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
