Is there a way to list all markups made since the last file save?
Hey - hope someone can help me here. I have custom mark ups I "save" to the tool chest to a custom tool set. When my session ends and I close and reopen bluebeam - none of the saved tools reload. Example - I am marking up an electrical plan. Realize I don't have a markup for bath fan with light. I create a custom mark up,…
Curious if anyone adds a "time" or "man hours" columns in their markups list when doing takeoff. I have some ideas but unsure if they will actually be useful. For example: 10 LF of footing = 1 man hour. Does anyone have any tips on adding custom columns on their markups for time? I already utilize it for material cost per…
I've been experiencing issues with how Revu scales images. My workflow is to import a PNG, add some clouds to it, and export it as another PNG. I have "Import Image Resolution" set to "Original," but have consistent issues with small images (1050x1796), which Revu paradoxically downscales to oblivion. Additionally, I have…
Hey guys, I have an excel template I use for take-offs. While on the spreadsheet, when I set the source file to the drawing, there is a very small chance that it successfully links. Usually, I have to set the source file, nothing happens, so I then set up a new quantity link. When i setup a new link, all the other quantity…
Here's an odd one that was brought to my attention from a user here. This is an XFA form created by the North Dakota DOT, and when data is entered into the form fields, the resulting math is incorrect when opened in Bluebeam but correct in Adobe. Bluebeam Revu 21.8: Adobe Acrobat: Since this form was created by an external…
I am trying to create links in external software (Excel, Work, Mindmanager…) to open PDFs in Bluebeam to a particular page, both locally and with cloud shared PDF but I have not succeeded. Has anyone else found a solution to this? Thank you.
When I am working with multiple pdf files, I have to extend one or more files to the second monitor. When a pdf is brought to the second monitor, the Bluebeam ribbon and menus will not go along with it to the second monitor and I will always have to select the tools from the original bluebeam window in the fist monitor. In…

Good Morning Has anyone successfully imported their take-off from Bluebeam via excel into Trimble Contract Master Estimation software and have you managed to link an item in that take off to your database item?

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…
I should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
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 have used BlueBeam Revu to create piping isometric drawings. However, this process takes a very long time and is painstaking because currently Revu only allows you to snap to 45° or 90°. If there was an option to turn on snapping to 15° increments, it would allow for much cleaner and faster creation/marking up of piping…
