I'm looking for a way to use a dual monitor setup to review and markup files while having a full-size copy of my document on one screen, and another copy of the same document that I can zoom in to specific areas and markup on a second monitor, and be able to review the markups on the full-size view. I'm struggling to find…
In a Session, we sometimes use the Markups List to mark a Status as "Completed" to notify others when an action item has been resolved. When a user marks a Markup Status as "Complete", the markup then shows up in a dimmed state (greyed out) to them, but other users can often not see the same behavior on their side, making…

I wanted to sketch out a handrail making a u-turn, both in plan and an isometric but it seems you have to use two lines and two arc segments. Isn't there a half-circle or half-ellipse option?
Can I do this from all my packages? I have 20 pdf packages in my session and would like to get all comments and related info (drawing, answers, time ex) to excel. Is it possible? Mats
I am looking for a solution to put a bulleted list in comments.
When I create a polygon cutout within an area and then try to measure a sub-area within this cutout, a bucket fill function is activated, filling the entire area. Is there a way to disable this fill function so that I can manually define the edges of the area measurement?
I have an excel sheet pre-built for takeoffs and would like to retain usage of this. How do I directly export the markup values gathered from Revu into their corresponding cells within my spreadsheet?
I have gotten into habit of taking measurements and individually adding them via calculator to get the sum of the values. I just discovered grouping, and I am now able to open and collapse the markups as one. When I add the individual markups to a group, they are supposed to sum together, correct? Mine are not. If there is…

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…
