I hope Bluebeam Revu could allow users to add Width property to Length or Polylength measurement and could therefore calculate volume of the measurement. This will be helpful for measuring thickenings, beams, and walls.
This week, we'll be highlighting the Rotating Measurement Captions feature in Bluebeam! It's a simple, yet mighty feature that allows a user to rotate Measurement captions. Here's how: Select the measurement markup whose caption is to be rotated. Click the anchor point and drag it to the desired angle. Notice that the…
When I create a polygon cutout within an area and then try to measure a sub-area within this cutout, a bucket fill function is activated, filling the entire area. Is there a way to disable this fill function so that I can manually define the edges of the area measurement?
This week, we’re highlighting Dynamic Fill! This tool makes it easy to quickly measure irregular areas by filling them in. No need to trace every edge manually—it’s fast and helpful for area and volume calculations. How do you or your team utilize the Dynamic Fill tool for quick and accurate measurement? What specific…
While reviewing a truss submittal, I realized it would be much easier if we could use a dimension string following the same format as the truss drawings. Truss drawings use a three-part format that translates to feet-inches-16th of an inch (see below example). I would love to be able to use this format when calibrating the…
Could there be a tool which could split area & length measurements along a line or polyline in a single action? In the below example i would like to split/separate my Road area measurement, as well as the linier measure for kerbs along the red line to allow me to allocate the markups into separate spaces/layers etc? I…

Hello everyone, I am trying to see if I can change the default metric area measurement label on the system from 'sq m' to a familiar 'm2' label here in the UK. All the instructions, videos online, help searches are silent on the matter. Also been in touch with Tech Support and they were unable to help and suggested I reach…
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…
So it would be really awesome if it would tell you the distance from the last count you placed. For example… I estimate fire sprinkler heads. I use the count function for my head placement, to get the total number of heads required for a project. There are NFPA codes though that state how for apart or close a head is…

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.…
