I have a small problem. Some spaces are "printed" to pdf just fine. Some spaces don't link up with area measurements. Process is like this I recive a pdf with spaces from Archicad or other I create area measurements from Spaces Some measurements don't seem to inherit the space in markup windows What to do? Is this REVU…
I have created a few 3D PDF's using the add in within Revit but have been unable to view these on mobile devices. when the PDF is opened it just shows a white screeen but when opened on a computer it opens just as expected and is able to be orbited around in. i have tried multiple apps (bluebeam cloud, adobe acrobat reader…
Hi everyone, I’ve been working with Bluebeam Revu for different construction projects, and while it’s been a great tool overall, I still run into a few challenges that I’d like to improve on. For example, scaling drawings accurately can sometimes be tricky when dimensions aren’t clear, and managing markups across larger…
Sence last up date when I have muliple windows open. Each window will come forward as i scroll over them. Used to have to click on a window to full display. My computer setting is set for click to view. Is this a glich in BB or something else? Thank you, Christopher
Is there a way to have an option to include the page number as a prefix when selecting a page region for label? Only ask for this because I often will create page labels based on page region but it would be nice to include a method of retaining the page number in the label for extraction as single sheets, the plans are in…
when exporting a table to excel, it turns part of the table into an image with a black rectangle
Now that the option to switch from Markup mode to View mode has been removed from Revu 21, is there a way to lock markups and comments so that you don't accidentally move or shift them while panning around in the file?
Hi everyone, I’ve recently come across a few bugs while using Bluebeam Revu for construction estimating and takeoffs, and I wanted to check if anyone else has faced similar issues. Here are the main problems I’ve noticed: Measurement tools sometimes give inconsistent results when scaling drawings. Markups occasionally…
How would you remove hyperlinks in a document on a mass scale? Not going to each one and changing it's action, but listing all hyperlinks in one location and removing all in one fell swoop. I've looked thru the markup list to see if there was a way to display a list of all the hyperlinks in the document, but it doesn't…
Hello - When clicking on an established session I have been in before I get the spinning wheel then popup "Your connection to studio has been lost". After clicking OK closing window, it does open the session except it has "disconnected" me. Also does not show that in the Record that I have ever opened the session and any…

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…
