Does Bluebeam have an AI facility to assess a Fire Safety Certificate Application utilizing Irish Building Regulations?
One of my colleagues uploaded some specifications to the contractor's Procore session and when they downloaded it, the font wasn't right. I'm not sure what to check other than maybe there isn't a compatible font on the contractor's end. Any ideas? Sorry about the poor "screen capture" it's what they sent me.
Is there a way to do an array along a path in BB? There’s plenty of videos online for an array – but here’s a quick one that I’m curious about: https://youtu.be/eS6P8v6mUUM?si=_HfT88Swlnltlj2k CAD calls this a path-array. For my line of work, I would like to draw paths that align with the same path as a building that would…
What's up, ya'll? This is a two part problem, probably related to each other. I'm on Revu x64 Complete and I updated to 21.4. I'm now having a consistent issue when I have more than one instance open where I am unable to edit my markups in the markups list. This has also happened once with only one instance open. You'll…
What's up ya'll? I am trying to find an efficient method to run multiple Bluebeam instances on one project file so that one instance (on one screen) is my active takeoff/markups and the other instance (second screen) live updates those markups. Does such a thing exist? I am an electrical estimator and work on a variety of…

Is there a way to have different default markup settings? For example sometimes I am looking at 8.5x11 documents and other times I am looking at 30x42 drawings, so I often have to adjust my font sizes every time I switch between the two. Or sometimes I want my comments to be in blue while marking up a drawing set while…

I am startiing to learn, I have figured out how to scale for conduit runs. I would like to draw out feeder home runs in different colors. Also how to find boxes and other symbols to put in the toolbox
I have several symbols that I've created for use in a Tool Chest. Is it possible to give the symbols a drop down selection box which I can define? i.e. Having a drop down menu to select if the symbol is a recessed device or a surface fix device.

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.…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
One part question one part idea for y'all today. My office uses studio session extensively to redline and coordinate with several different consultant teams at once. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
It would be a great help for me if locked objects were marked when clicked on, for example with a padlock, as it does in other programs.
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
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…
Our work laptops were running two different versions of Bluebeam, and in both of those versions, we were unable to use the Microsoft Office add-ins. We keep hearing that there is a problem with Bluebeam, and I am curious whether anyone else is having the same problem. I'm interested in learning if the problem is a…
Hi all! I'm searching for a way to password protect a set of markups on a pdf without disabling the ability for other users to add new markups without the password. A working example would be one user, a drawing checker in this case, would go through the pdf creating markups. When they're complete, they lock the file so…
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…
