Hi, brand new user here. Just sat through several hours of tutorials, and I'm trying to determine how useful Bluebeam will be for tracking my daily as-builts on a road project. I'm one of the first inspectors using Bluebeam here. The problem I am having is using the Polyline Sketch-to-Scale. I cannot seem to edit a drawn…
I am trying to delete a previous session and entering a new one. I keep getting an internal server error. Does anyone know who to get a hold of to fix this?
i cannot see my properties panel. it only shows up if i change profiles. i cannot use shortcut key Alt-P to make it visible
When I am trying to search for keywords on a plan/document, it displays 0 results found. This is the first time I've had this problem. Does anyone know why that would be?
I hope that is what the feature is called that I am referencing. I have used Blue Beam now for a couple years. I have always used the Line and Polyline tools when drawing things, especially overlays to buildings where I want to keep nice straight lines. In the past, I could select the tool, let's use Polyline: if I held…
Our company used bluebeam studio on the USA server before we had access to AU licensing. Now we have all AU licenses logging in to the USA studio server, and it tangles itself every day (worse with azure AVD). USA studio login seems to time out and when I log back in it removes the login to the AU license and logs in a…
HI, I've had this issue for about a month and poking around support forums indicates it's been around longer than that. When an email is sent with PDF attachment and I try to open it from the email, the file gets corrupted and then cannot be used. If I save it elsewhere first, no problem. I found various commentary but not…
Is there an easy way to create a hyperlink from a sheet number, such as C-400, that jumps directly to another sheet (for example, C-500), and then have C-500 include a link back to C-400?
We have been asked to upgrade a community hall that was built in 1935 It needs new scissor trusses to replace the old sagging rafters. How do I calculate the pitch?. The drawing is to scale at 1/4" - ft Thanks Murray
I recently discovered a bluebeam file which included lines with line style to suit different type of steel sections. The way the line style worked is that if the the page was 1:10 scale and the line weight was 1.0, the line style would produce a side on profile of a given steel I beam to scale. I thought this simplified…

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 should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
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 have used BlueBeam Revu to create piping isometric drawings. However, this process takes a very long time and is painstaking because currently Revu only allows you to snap to 45° or 90°. If there was an option to turn on snapping to 15° increments, it would allow for much cleaner and faster creation/marking up of piping…
