Takeoffs - CNTRL + Shift Key after 21.7 Update
I do a good amount of takeoff in bluebeam and noticed an annoying issue after updating to 21.7. It used to be that you could use the CNTRL + Shift keys to do a straight takeoff line (shift key) and avoid any control lines or points on the drawing (CNTRL key) to get to a precise spot on the drawing. After the update, the…

Offset measurement for excavation
In construction projects, precise measurements are crucial, especially when preparing the foundation of a building. An offset is used to create a boundary around the structure, typically extending 1.8 meters from the building's perimeter. This offset allows for the necessary workspace for construction excavation. By…

Export to Excel Not Working
I've recently had an issue whereby I was trying to export a schedule out to Excel but there were lots or errors or information was just missing. I found this to be because of the font type on the pdf - basically Bluebeam wasn't recognising or didn't like it. So, I simply selected all of the text, changed it and then…

Tool Count Legends. Total Count Legend vs Current Page Counts
I'm not sure how long ago this changed, but it was pretty recent…. I used to be able to make a legend from my tool counts per page by selecting the counts to be per the "current" page and then at the begining of the document on the cover page I could create a Master Legend with the Total Counts that had ALL the counts from…

Multiply Markup Adjustment
Plan sets are often set to 45 or 90 degrees. Only having the option to multiply up, down, left and right limits us in terms of 45 degree plans. Honestly, what would it take to code in those additional fields? 45 minutes after a lunch break?

They wrote that the problem was due to the drawing being "large", but the problem is not connected to all large drawings.

Markup & Custom Column Issue
Hi all, I have reached out to the support team at Bluebeam with little success with an issue i am having recently. I have a selection of custom mark-up tools and columns that were created last year for the take-off of pipework and ductwork insulation and have been working well for the most part. As I carry out my ductwork…

Streamline Snapshots
This very well may already be a feature and please let me know if there is a faster process to what I am doing. When I receive a construction package, I insert a 200 in. x 200 in. blank page (that's the largest size). I take snapshots of all the drawings and use the match lines on each drawing to ultimately make one large…

Can you set a default path for the Load Config file? That would save some time.

Bluebeam Cloud
Hey all, I understand the new Bluebeam Cloud app on iPadOS is being constantly improved, but is there going to be a way to open a marked up pdf from third parties like Microsoft One Drive? Are you guys looking into giving users the ability to turn on/off layers? I do layouts for the electrical installations on my projects…

Static Auto-Complete Dictionary
I would like to see more options with the Auto-Complete dictionary. I currently load an XML file I created as my standard dictionary. I would like the option to toggle off BB from learning new terms, as I will be making thousands of unique tools that clog up the dictionary over time. BB also learns terms that I type in…

Listed counting in/to groups enable/disable button as add on?
Originally, all measure→Count are listed individually. After changing the areas, removing individual quantity markers (due to plan changes, etc.), and copying count into another plan (as they are 99% identical), Bluebeam automatically groups the markers with identical subjects, even though the other parameters are…
