Good Day Bugs-We recently changed from Adobe to BB. I needed to reduce a large size pdf. It seemed easy to do, and was happy to see I could do multiple files at once. However, the files are still too large to email. 15-30mb. I have tried reducing again, moved the quality slider in the output options box and it still only…
A question for the ages in the AEC industry, regarding the abbreviation for UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE or UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED… Do you belong to team UNO, or team UON?
Did you know that double-clicking a Bluebeam Revu Profile (.bpx file) automatically opens Revu and imports the profile for you? This is the quickest and easiest way to have a User import a Profile. It is a very low impact for our non-technical friends and co-workers. 😅 It is much better than explaining how to click the…

It would be pretty dope if we could import a block library of symbols we use in CAD as stamps or markup tools in Revu rather than having to recreate each one or use snapshot. Also, if we could integrate linetypes instead of creating them from scratch, that would be amazing. 🙏 Sincerely, a CAD Manager who deploys and trains…

Is their any way to import a "standard list" of measurement items that I could use on multiple projects without having to type them each time I start a new project. I.E. is their an import function that could facilitate this need?
Hi, I am wondering if I am the only one that has this problem lately. Why veiwing and editing plan sheets the program lockes up and I can't close it nor does it work any more. I have to end task it to restart it. This has happened several times in the last two weeks. Can anyone help me figure this out?
Hi All, I moved some .pdfs in my studio folder around and that has wreaked havoc on the revisioning of my Set. Is there a way to remove the Superseded stamp and return the individual sheets to the current revision status? Thanks ahead, Ian
I created a new set with a set of 7 sheets; I then did slip batch to add 4 revised sheets. I saved that set file but then deleted it because I realized that it did not match one sheet (sheet name changed), but I would still like for that one sheet to supersede the old one with the same sheet number. When I go try to create…
I have a client who is trying to mark up a set but is running into a situation where they can't add markups after a specific page. The prior pages are fine, but past the specific page they can't add any more. They are the only user who is having this issue, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Have I missed a…
It seems sometime in Dec 2025 the invites sent out from the BB Session no longer has the name of the document in the session invite. We use to see "You've been invited to Studio Session (name of session)" all we now see is "You've been invited to Studio Session" the name is no longer shown. Is this a preference? or has…
If I put text on a page (text box or typewriter) and then use the Edit Action command to make a jump to another page, it will put a lightning bolt under the bottom right corner of the text box. Is there a way to make the lightning bolt to the right of the text? I have issues when I have the text in a list format the…
What’s the Best Way to Measure LF on a Curved Wall?
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
It would be nice to have a tool that would (assuming both the X and Y axises are the same scale) calculate scale from a known area on the set of plans. I have had two sets of schematic drawings come across my desk in the last month alone, that did not have the correct scale and did not have any labeled linear dimensions,…
