This happens sometimes when I open Revu directly from a PDF link. If i open it from the Revu shortcut on my Desktop, it seems to work fine.
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 submit a request about the printing of drawings, measurements and markups that are in specific layers. I draw measurements in buildings to demolish or to construct, on an architect et engineer drawing; I design one layer for unique elements, one layer for elements on the ground, one layer for vertical elements on walls,…
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…

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…
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…
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 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…
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
When moving a PDF file from the main BlueBeam application to another window (or second monitor), it creates a new Bluebeam tab. I would like to see it create a new separate application on my computer that I can pull up and down, as needed. Currently, if I click away on Bluebeam (with multiple tabs open on multiple…
