Hi Is there a current issue with logons to the admin portal? Have raised a ticket
I had the OCR plug in or whatever it is called. Tried to use it and received Revu’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software must be installed to scan documents for text. I downloaded the installed the MSI package for my 64 bit version of Revu. I clicked on the OCR MSI FIle yet I am clueless as the OCR error message…
I am a civil QS and have been using Bluebeam for only 2 weeks. I'm struggling to measure curved corners in Bluebeam. In a drawing with several curved corners, I used the curved method in Bluebeam, but it's very time-consuming. Would it be possible to find a shortcut key for this, similar to Planswift where you can simply…
I am tired of having to change each of my measurements from ft'in" to in" every time. I know I can select all at once and change them all to in" but was hoping I could default all measurements to in". TIA!
Hello all! I have used Revu 18 for the last few years and just transitioned to 21. I'm using the most basic of functionalities honestly but I need help on 21 please. In 18, when you opened a new pdf and needed to calibrate, you could measure an existing known dimension, then put the Feet and Inches in to calibrate the…
Can someone please tell me why check box "Show Segment Values" sometimes will not allow the user to actually make a check mark to show on the drawing. The command Show Segment Values is in dim mode which means it is not an active feature. Very frustrating. I have no idea why it does this on occasion. I am hoping there is a…
I'm using the search function to create custom hyperlinks to navigate around a set of architectural drawings between joinery items, finishes etc that cannot be linked using page labels. Ultimately I want to be able to transfer these hyperlinks to revised drawings as they come in rather than having to manually set them up…
CTRL + F initiates a search. I type the search term. I press Enter to see results. Upon pressing CTRL + F again to search another term, instead of highlighting the search term field for editing, it changes the "what to search" selector to "Folder". Is there any way around this? Very frustrating, and I don't believe older…
I assumed this How to print pop-up comments | Bluebeam Technical Support was a way to show a reply as a physical markup on a sheet as a note. But this doesn't seem to be the case (I'm assuming this is for printing markup summaries?) Is there a way to show replys on a sheet as something as simple as a note for printing?

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. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
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. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
It would be a great help for me if locked objects were marked when clicked on, for example with a padlock, as it does in other programs.
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. 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…
Currently, the final output consists of only the intersection of matched pages between specified current and revised files. Please let me know if it's possible to include pages that did not match from the specified revised file in the output PDF.
I just DLd BB and have a Mac computer- it seems as if I can only use BB cloud. Is the functionality different while using cloud opposed to downloading it straight to my desktop (which I can't do)?
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. 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…
