I want to group all WF Beams so when I click the beam for a take off it, has a pulldown to select the size. Can this be done?
I am having an issue where when I save, mark-ups just disappear before my eyes. I do a save after every sheet of mark-ups, and at random, every mark up I did just disappears. What is strange is that they still appear in the mark-up list, but that does me no good. I have tried exporting and reimporting the markups, doesn't…
Is it possible to relocate a drawing set from a laptop to a server? I have a large set with several revisions and would like to move it to a server to share to with others.
Perimeter measurement is an integral part of my work, however, is not available on my system (Bluebeam Revu x64 Basics). Is this correct and if so, what do I need to do to make this available. This is the only tool that I need (that is not available to me already) and I'm hoping that I do not have to upgrade my system to…
Whe I add a new toolbox, I am prompted for a place to save it. The default location, at least mine, is in the Windows user area. Something like C:/users/(your name)/AppData/Roaming/Bluebeam software/Revu/21. In my office we share files on One Drive. Can a default storage location be set so we don't have to climb up and…
Hi, Need to find out how to do a Global or Default setting for changing the current Measurment tool from inches to mtrs and font size, color of infill etc. Currently we have to go for every single take off measurements from changing this from Feet to Meters and rest of font size , color of infill etc. there must be a short…
Hi - new to the group. Confounded by this question. I am not able to print markups outside of the document area and the document. In print settings I am able to print either the document or the markups but when I click document and markups the markups are cut off at the document edge. I am making markups outside the…
hello I'm new here. I am needing to use this program to find the square footage and the baseboard perimeter of a project that I'm bidding on and I have no idea how to add it to the app or how to make it work. Can somebody please help me?
I have some markups that cannot be moved oredited after I change the linetype to a linetype that I created in bluebeam. Anyone have any answeres as to why this may happen
This past weekend I was working with some fillable PDFs from the Department of the Army (United States). Bluebeam was able to open the PDFs just fine, but signing them caused Revu to crash on me and it would say something about the type of file being unsupported. I ended up just downloading Adobe to sign those specific…

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…
