Is anyone else experiencing issues with their toolbars not displaying the icons in the order in which they have been set? I've only noticed this recently but, no matter what I try I cannot get the tools to display in the order that they are allocated in when you customise a toolbar. This applies to new toolbars as well as…
I have a small problem. Some spaces are "printed" to pdf just fine. Some spaces don't link up with area measurements. Process is like this I recive a pdf with spaces from Archicad or other I create area measurements from Spaces Some measurements don't seem to inherit the space in markup windows What to do? Is this REVU…
Hi everyone, I’ve been working with Bluebeam Revu for different construction projects, and while it’s been a great tool overall, I still run into a few challenges that I’d like to improve on. For example, scaling drawings accurately can sometimes be tricky when dimensions aren’t clear, and managing markups across larger…
Is there a way to have an option to include the page number as a prefix when selecting a page region for label? Only ask for this because I often will create page labels based on page region but it would be nice to include a method of retaining the page number in the label for extraction as single sheets, the plans are in…
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…

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…
Seeing as to how many rave reviews there AREN'T for Cloud, I wanted to come on here and list a few features that are desperately needed, and see if anyone else has insight into how the mobile version can be made as awesome as the PC version: Undo/redo button - Honestly can’t believe this is not there… dynamic editing of…
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…
