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…
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…
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!
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.
After my last update… When I add a Dimension to a pdf the extension lines are way to long. Sometimes putting them off the edge of the page. I have: set and checked scale checked dim line and text size any ideas….
Some apartment buildings have many unit types, upwards of 500 different units plus the various other spaces called out. Navigating to each unit can be cumbersome on large projects. It would be helpful if there were a way to search for key words to narrow in on a particular space.
In the middle of showing someone how to do a material take off and used the incorrect custom tool. Went to match properties and it does of course change the aesthetics but doesnt change the name, etc. This would be a huge time saver especially if you have done a Curb and Gutter take off at 1000' + with curves. :)
I hope Bluebeam Revu could allow users to add Width property to Length or Polylength measurement and could therefore calculate volume of the measurement. This will be helpful for measuring thickenings, beams, and walls.
When I create a polygon cutout within an area and then try to measure a sub-area within this cutout, a bucket fill function is activated, filling the entire area. Is there a way to disable this fill function so that I can manually define the edges of the area measurement?
Ability to insert/change the value of count tool manually. We have situations where a value, for example 86 pcs is written on the design, and instead of clicking with count tool 86 times would like to be able to change the value of the count to 86. So I'm looking for a similar function as the length tool has with rise/drop…

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…
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
