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.

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.

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…
We are trying to standardize user permissions by creating Groups in Bluebeam Studio. It seems to be that Groups are individual user based and I also had an issue where a user invited to a group on one project automatically got invited to another group when that same user group was added to that project. Anybody else use…

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…
