Good afternoon all. I'm in the concrete sales business and more so than not, yardages for such things as foundation, paving and curb and gutter are not available from the contractors. This led me to finding another solution. Revu 21 seemed to be what I needed to learn. If there is anyone in here that does concrete…
Does anyone know why I can suddenly no longer reorder pages in thumbnails? I'm hoping that someone has found a solution to this issue. Bluebeam support can't seem to address this question in a timely fashion due to an overload of tech support questions.
Has anyone had this problem, or know a solution for it? The "My Tools" section of the Tool Chest has disappeared from my screen entirely, and it's not shown as hidden. As a result, I cannot use the numbered hotkeys for tools anymore. I have signed out of my account, restarted my computer, and reinstalled Bluebeam, but…
I have a profile that I have exported. When I try to import it to another computer, the file loads, but not the profiles. I've tried deleting the other profiles (although they keep appearing again even though they have been deleted). And just importing this profile. The profile works on my computer but when I try to upload…
I like to use multiple legends on the same drawing to give a summary of measurements for different areas of work. Whenever a markup tool is used, and the proposed legend is selected, Revu assumes that all previous markups that have used that same tool, need to go on the same legend? I've found I'm working around this by…
Is there a way to crop a snapshot to remove unwanted content without flattening, or taking a new snapshot? My use case is to use a single snapshot multiple times, then crop each of them once pasted and placed in position. I appreciate i may need to just take multiple snapshots, however this would mean i am required to have…
Hey guys! Got a coworker who's having issues being able to input text into a text based custom column. When he goes through the properties panel it lets him edit the property to his heart's content. The problem is that in his workflow he usually makes those changes through the markups list instead but it suddenly stopped…
Hi Bluebeam newbie, just installed the latest complete version today. All I want to do is to highlight a line drawing of a door and change its colour to red. Then choose a wall and fill the gap between 2 lines in red. Also it might be nice to edit text. = I've tried the select tool and it does nothing. Nothing is selected.…
for example I want to change the size from 12pt to 6pt across all my measurements

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…
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…
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 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
