I'm wondering if anyone has ever discovered a workaround for Revu requiring admin rights to install updates. This has become unwieldy and inconvenient for our users. I was thinking of experimenting with giving users full control on some program folders or assets but I thought I would reach out so I'm not reinventing the…
Good morning, I'd like to be able to close Bluebeam at the end of the day or when I shut down my PC and then open it back up without opening all of the pervious documents I had open. Is there a way to change this in settings? thanks in advance -Ryan G
I have a profile that I have exported. When I try to import it to another computer, the file loads, but not the profiles. I've tried deleting the other profiles (although they keep appearing again even though they have been deleted). And just importing this profile. The profile works on my computer but when I try to upload…
Hi Bluebeam newbie, just installed the latest complete version today. All I want to do is to highlight a line drawing of a door and change its colour to red. Then choose a wall and fill the gap between 2 lines in red. Also it might be nice to edit text. = I've tried the select tool and it does nothing. Nothing is selected.…
Looking for a feature that would allow for settings to be set by IT on install and retrospectively on already installed versions. For the settings set by IT they would also not be changeable by end users. This has stemmed from a requirement to ensure that Revu settings can be configured similar to those for Adobe…
Attempting to 'Automark' a plan set using a recent webinar that Ryan and Harry presented on. In the data box, I am only getting the preview to be the Region 1/Region 2 as shown below. Also, in the attached thumbnail photo, I'm not sure why the red box is so large. Scaling is not important to me during automarking, but…
is there a way to turn create from file back to revu 20 behavior or repair this function
Can you guys please add an update to Bluebeam Revu where you are able to change the Active Profile after setting up the Session? Even when you change to the correct profile after the session is set up, the statuses remain per whichever profile was active at the time of session set up. There have been a countless number of…
I'm currently trying to find a document control solution and would love to know what others are using. I know that Sets create a drawing log, but it is a laborious process and I am looking for something more streamlined. At one point, the cloud tool could management documents and revisions, but it looks like that is no…
Permissions are currently set per session (or group/person in the session). I recommend the capability of allowing permission changes to individual documents to deviate from the session permissions. E.g. I have an old document with markups I want to keep loaded on the session for reference, but do not want others to edit…

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.…

In particular, we’d like the report to include the ability to: Tag specific rooms or locations Attach a photo of each deficiency Provide a description of the deficiency…
Is there a way to apply multiple digital signatures to a document without having to Save after each signature?
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….
This is a simple question. When I've 'Checked Out' a document in my BB Studio Project and added mark-ups, does it automatically Save when I 'Check In'? Or should I click save first, and then Check In?
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
I was hoping to find a way to filter sessions by "My Status", so I can quickly see those I have marked as "reviewing" or "finished", but I do not see that as an option in any of the dropdowns that are visible to me. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance!
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…
What is the best way to track project issues? I have issues that are emailed to me by my contractor customers and need some way to flag it and remember to follow up on it. I am having too many emails fall through the cracks and are not resolved in a timely manner.
Hey everyone, first time post! So I'm a spec writer and am trying to convert pdfs into Word docs. Which is easy…except when Bluebeam creates the Word doc, all of the paragraph levels are assigned to the same Word styles. As an example, in the attached image all of the paragraphs are the same "List Paragraph" style in Word.…
