Hi everyone, I’ve recently come across a few bugs while using Bluebeam Revu for construction estimating and takeoffs, and I wanted to check if anyone else has faced similar issues. Here are the main problems I’ve noticed: Measurement tools sometimes give inconsistent results when scaling drawings. Markups occasionally…
How would you remove hyperlinks in a document on a mass scale? Not going to each one and changing it's action, but listing all hyperlinks in one location and removing all in one fell swoop. I've looked thru the markup list to see if there was a way to display a list of all the hyperlinks in the document, but it doesn't…
I've searched and haven't found any information on integrating 'AI agents' with BB. Agents such as n8n or MS Power Automate. There would be many uses, but specifically I want to investigate (implement) a check gate at the signature/signing stage. i.e. the document may be signed only if other steps have taken place. Those…
So , my question is that i'm noticing that the tools in the toolchest will automaticly rearange themselves in a surtain order. I believe only a few updates back this was not the case or a lot less. I could be mistaken as i,m still a relatively new user. Is it not possible to keep your tool in a surtain order and they dont…
Is there a Tool set for Audio-Visual? I use Revu for marking up drawing sets for the addition of A/V. I need to add things like data drops, electrical outlets, speakers, microphones, wall mounted monitors, etc. Does something like this exist in Revu? I have looked and cannot find a Audio-Visual specific tools.
Hoping someone can help me, or at least tell me I'm not crazy. I'm creating a stamp that when applied to the target document, will include a list of names that were entered in a dialog box, and then overlay a digital signature field on top of each name. Everything works except that I can't get the size of the stamp to…
Hi everyone, Just updated to the latest version and the "resume sequence" function is not working anymore. Anyone experiencing the same? Is there a way around this issue? Have the old version on another computer, the function works fine there on the same document
When providing comments in a blue beam session is there a way to allow access to certain attendees to make changes to certain columns in the markup list? For example, attendees in a session can make comments and their information and comments are contained in columns A-C. Columns A-C could not be altered by anyone except…
Had some associates do their Bluebeam update and now they are not able to print their pdf document to a printer. Any advice?
New the new way is terrible. Please change it back. I would be happy to show you the issue.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
Please add folders within sessions for document organization. This will make navigating to the documents within a session cleaner and easier as documents within a session can add up and be cumbersome to have to search through to find what the user is trying to open. This feature would be greatly appreciated by all. Thank…
Hi all, my name is Aily, and I'm the Manager of Customer Education at Bluebeam - nice to meet you! I want to learn how you prefer to train, onboard, or up-skill your internal employees on everything Bluebeam, so I can make sure we're allocating the right resources to the right kinds of training (aka help me help you!). If…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
I just installed version 21.4 this morning on a second work machine, and encountered the common problem of Print to Bluebeam being broken during install. I resolved the problem using the following steps (Windows 11, 64 bit). I have admin privileges, so make sure you can make such changes before starting. I can't guarantee…
While I wait for the influx of new members from the PHX/NorCal bug webinar I thought I'd ask about your experience with making custom hatches and line styles in Bluebeam (the topic of the webinar). There were some great examples of custom hatches and lines that made a lot of sense for those users. One was a civil office…
If you've ever had to place a symbol on a drawing more than three times, you've probably wondered, "I wish I didn't have to keep clicking on the symbol every time I want to place it." I have great news for you 😀 The Reuse Tools option keeps that tool selected for placing as many instances of a symbol as you need! There are…
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…
I would like another option for locking that allows for a shapes dimensions to be locked, but still be able to move the shape / sketch around. An example of this would be a toggle for "dimension lock" where I could trace the outline of a building and rotate / move it around a site or property without accidentally changing…
I know that Bluebeam makes it difficult to select a markup that is under another markup—try selecting a markup four levels deep! BUT! I ran a demo today, and a 💡 went off in my head. Can I make a Keyboard Shortcut from the R21.2 Hide selected markup feature and use it to quickly hide obscuring markups to get to the markup…
Would it be possible to create an additional option under "Manage Toolsets" to edit the columns in the Tool Chest? Such as renaming or disabling which ones are not used. And that the columns are also extended as soon as they are extended to the right and do not become narrower again
