When I try to create a quantity link on excel, I keep getting the message 'Unable to perform Quantity Link on document with duplicate column names.' I did have some columns that had duplicate names but I have since changed them, this error continues to happen. Any one else have this problem and/or found a fix for it?

I'm using the software to calculate distance of conduit and electrical wire, if I have a 3/4" conduit(polylength) with 3(black, white, green) wires(polylength) in the inside, how can I make a group measurement that will have all 4 different measurement to be added to each wire color group, and Conduit lengths?
Could someone help me? Is it possible to work with two scales with different measurements on the same page?
How do I leverage the AI features to have Bluebeam search through hundreds of PDF pages of plans to find out specifically the information I need to bid on a job, which in my case is square footage of concrete slab that calls for sealing/densifying?
Hi All, We are changing the company style guide and stepping though updating everything to match. I am wondering if it's possible to change/specify the font used when creating a batch summary in PDF format? A long shot I know! Thanks Elizabeth
About once a day, Revu 21 fails and puts gibberish in the display area. It happened with 21.4 and now it's happening with 21.5. It usually comes up when I have several documents open at once, but sometimes it's just 1-2 documents. Sometimes it resolves by exiting and restarting Revu, but sometimes it takes a full reboot.…
I have a project that needs to be split in 1/2. I already have all mark-up done in the project plans (about 20 pages). Is there a way to automatically divide al pages into phases equally, or do I have to manually divide them page by page? What is the easiest way to break up the project into 2 phases?
My company is heavily invested in the Microsoft Surface ecosystem, including the Surface Hub. One of these hubs pushes $30k, so these are serious investments. We do not want to have individual users log into BB on the hub creating a bunch of data bloat. The browser version of BB seems like a great solution, however I just…
Yesterday I updated Bluebeam to version 21.4.0. Since then, whenever I try to open a PDF document it will show the comments but the view pane is missing (see attached screenshot). It will show the document in full screen but I can't easily flip through the pages that way. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

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.…

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 use the filter markups function to locate all takeoffs. However, when I have two markups at same location as in the picture, and try to filter the markup that I need, it will not show because the other markup is greyed out and obstructs it. The filter markup feature should work in a way similar to layers. for example in…
Is there a way to be able to Add a Sequence into a Count Measurement tool? Here's my scenario…I want to be able to mark up a plan with a red dot or a blue dot with a number sequence (each dot colour will have its own number sequence) but then I want to do a count on the number of red dots and number of blue dots and add it…

When you have a document open and split so you have (2) windows, is there a way for the tools to display with each window so you don't have to go all the way across the screen to get to the 1 windows tools?
I have "mirrored" (aligned vertically) a markup (Area Measurement) which contains a Depth (markup is calculating the volume of concrete) which also contains "Polygon Cut-On". After "Aligning" ive tried to move, delete, subtract "Control Points" but nothing works. I though markup maybe "locked" but is not the case.
I am using quantity link to get length takeoffs from my PDF directly to excel. I can link a cell to a certain measurement type (length, area, etc.) but can't separate it out from there. Attached picture might make this make sense. I want the 'Length 1' measurement to go to cell B2 and the 'Length 2' measurement to go to…
