I use Bluebeam for electrical take-off and occasionally I need to replace the custom count I have in in place with something else. Lets say the duplexes in this area need to become junction boxes, or GFCI type. I'd like to be able to select count measures > Right Click > Replace count measure with > show tool box custom…
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?
It would be really cool if you could automatically segment the Dimension tool into equal parts. I remember in SketchUp that you can split a line into multiple points and it's very helpful when designing. In Bluebeam, I have a light fixture layout on a plan that needs to be adjusted. I'd like to have 3 lights equally…
Have you ever opened a file and tried to do some annotations and takeoff and it was locked with no permissions for the viewer? Are you unable to even print it to a .pdf or affect any change to it? Boooooo! Me Too. Looking for a workaround? I Found One! Aaaannnd, You're welcome. — If you have a other workaround, please…
In the latest update, the comment boxes seem to pop-up much more often which does not help our workflow. We create toolsets made up of groups of shapes and text boxes. When I try to double-click to edit the text, the pop-up box shows up. In order to edit the text, I now have to ungroup to edit the text. Is there a way to…
Hello, Please see attached. I am doing a rebar takeoff. I have a footing that is not squared. I have used multiply option to multiply my rebar lines spaced equally. however as you can see I have to adjust each line into the footing shape. Can you please create an option that I can trim all lines at the direction i want at…
When I bring in a screenshot, it is not to scale, and I need to rotate it and resize to try match the pdf content. For example, sometimes I want to take an aerial screenshot and overlay it over my pdf plans. To make sure it aligns I need to scale it correctly, and rotate it correctly. It would be very handy if I could…
We all know and love the ability to automatically create page labels. However there is no way to search for page labels besides adding a markup to the pages and filtering to it in the Markup List. If there was a option in the search section to search for page labels it would increase the efficiency of our searches and make…
I created page labels for my document and want to search for them but when using CTRL+F the page does not show up as seen below. Another solution would be to order/sort the pages by their label, is this possible?
I would like a tool that scans a pdf and spits out an excel containing whatever information I train it to. This would require an AI function that learns because not all drawings are formatted the same.

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…
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…
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!
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
