Enhancing Measurement Takeoff Efficiency Through Smart Color-Coded Markings
I've built a fully personalized tool chest, but we're still doing takeoffs manually. For example, if a measurement is marked red, it would be great if any related markings or measurements could automatically adopt the same color. Take walls in buildings, for instance….. if we categorize walls as Type 1 through Type 6, and…

Spaces Rotating
Hey Brains Trust, Using spaces for Takeoff. When I mark the space on a GA Drawings and copy / paste to an Elec drawing the space rotates as shown in the pics… What causes this and is there a way to stop this happening? There is no option to rotate this and its doubling work.

Hold Shift
I’m not sure when this was changed, but could we please revert the behaviour for the Shift key when measuring area or perimeter? Previously, holding down Shift allowed precise measurement with each click. Now, it works fine on the first click, but if you continue holding Shift, it no longer registers and defaults to free…

Sequence tools NOT resuming counts?
I do an absurd amount of take offs, and count all day long. I LOVE being able to leave a sequence, and resume it after looking at another page. This doesnt work anymore? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Current Folder As Save Location For Markup List Export
Instead of defaulting to the last folder where a Markup List file was exported to, can we have the option of defaulting to the folder in which the pdf file that you are using is saved. If I am moving between pdf's which are saved in different folders it is too easy to end up saving the output file in the wrong place.

Detail Searching
When you search for a detail, put a space between the detail and the page number.I'm looking for 3/S-502, and if you enter this, you get nothing. You type in S-502, and you get the list of all. Next time enter a space between. It will only show that detail. I have not found a way. If they have 13/S-502, it will find the…

Feature Request: Add Area to Properties Panel
It's pretty simple. It seems pretty intuitive. There should be a field under properties that displays the enclosed area of the selected polygon. If the scale is set, that field should display the scaled area of the polygon. We shouldn't have to retrace existing polygons to calculate area. Please, and thank you. A value-add…

Linear and Count Takeoffs with volume calculation
As a GC estimator, It would be incredibly helpful to have a linear and count takeoff tool that allows users to input both width and depth, and then automatically calculates volume. This would eliminate the need to rely on the accuracy of architect drawn widths when using the volume measurement tool.

Measure length along a sloped curve with the Perimeter tool
Please add the ability to measure the length of a sloped curve to the perimeter tool. I am consistently measuring guardrail lengths along curved staircases and have to manually calculate the total length of the guardrail. On straight staircases and slopes I am able to use the Length tool to accurately perform my takeoffs.

Markup Mode and Markup list
Hi there, we have recently subscribed to Bluebeam and we cannot seem to use Markup mode or add anything to a Markup list when doing measurements and takeoffs. I thought it was due to the PDF being protected in some way and have tried all tips I have come across to unprotect it but cannot. Is there any way to work around…
