Hi BB , I am trying to do a very simple task. Send a message to all participants ( joined and not joined) on a BB session. How can I do it? Thank you Nathalia
I would love BB studio to reconnect automatically. I am sick of the pop ups and barriers to keep working when I have to tell it to reconnect to the BB studio. Anyone have a solution?
Is there a way to delete or clear all markups on a multi-page document without individually deleting them by page? I have a 200+ page document with over 9,000 mark-ups and I want to delete all of the mark-ups within the entire document at one time. I am looking for a mass clear or delete option as going through and…
Hello everyone! I'm a BIM manager at my architecture firm, and we're currently facing some challenges with Bluebeam sessions and assigning statuses. Each time I create a new document, I have to set the statuses again, which is quite frustrating. I noticed that when I try to save the statuses to a Bluebeam profile, the…
I use Bluebeam Studio Sessions exclusively on the cloud to review drawings. I need to open 2 or more drawings simultaneously in the same project and I need to be able to mark all of them up. This is not possible right now; I have to open a download in pdf to be able to view multiple drawings but can't mark them up in…
Hello, I'm pricing a job that has both LF measurements for wall base and Wall Area measurements for wall panels. I currently have a formula calculating Raw Material Cost (custom column) which is: Measurement * Material. I have multiple other columns building off this value to add various other data. (Mark-up on material,…
Bluebeam is awesome for drawings etc., but it is not a web browser. Wouldn't it be nice if when you clicked on a web link it would open in your default browser? Unless there already is an option and I just don't know about it.
I've recently purchased the Tourbox and love using it for all my Adobe editing programs. It also lets you create custom commands for other programs. I have been assigning shortcuts for Bluebeam to it and like with the Adobe products it saves me time. One of my holy grails would be to assign a shortcut to the rotation of a…
When I have Revu running and need to open a pdf, by clicking the name in file explorer, sometimes Bluebeam decide to open another instance instead of opening in the one I have it open. It is annoying and any fix to this? When changed a markup status, is there a way to figure out what was the original color of this markup?…
I've done OCR and run batch hyperlinks. It works pretty well. However, the callouts all through the plans that are referenced on the bill of materials page are never recognized. Why is that? I've even tried doing an image search while in the BOM to find where that callout is in the plans, but I never get a good result. Is…

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 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 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
