I'm looking to automate a custom column (or columns) by grouping 2-4 dimensions, and then having the total show up in the 'width' column (figured this part out) but having the individual dimensions separately show up in another column. ie, the example here is 4 dimensions, they are grouped together with a total width of…
So, I found a post about creating spaces so you can add the same markup in different areas of the drawing to their own legend for that space. I created spaces, did my counting and tried to create a legend for each space. I don't know why but once I create a new legend on the same sheet the markups go to the new legend and…
Did older versions of Bluebeam (18, 19 etc) automatically match the dimension units to whatever scale you calibrated to? I feel like it did' but can't confirm since I've been updated. For example, if I am working in a metric PDF, and I calibrate based on an existing dimension of 6100mm within a drawing, the new dimensions…
Is there a way of deleting a scale from a page (i.e. have a 'Set Scale' option to 'Scale Not Set')?
I would love it if we could have a functionality where 2 separate PDF's that are the same (except there is an older dated version and a new one) could be seen side by side, and when I hit the next or previous button the page turns simultaneously on both windows; to make the process of page-tuner comparison between 2 sets…
Has anyone come across a good workflow to help maintain the graphic quality of a PDF export from Revit, while minimizing the file size (aka reload time within Bluebeam)? We are seeing challenges with sheets that need to show hatch patterns (ex. life safety hatches), color, and on a 30x42 sheet size. I have tried to: reduce…
Wondering if anyone else is having an issue with Bluebeam Stamps (and sometimes text) disappearing, specifically in Studio Sessions? we have noticed it multiple times. Typically the user who placed the stamp is able to see the stamp on their end, but other users can not and these stamps can get lost when finishing a studio…
This is probably answered somewhere, but search does not appear to be working I am and Admin in a studio session, but I cannot change the status of any markups even my own. The Set Status sub-menu in the right click is blank. Any idea on why or how to fix? Not been an issue till recently.
Hi Everyone, I am a new Bluebeam Revu 21 administrator, and I was wondering if there is a way to bulk transfer ownership of all of the Bluebeam Session ID's from a session host that has left my organization. Thanks, Sammie

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…
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…
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 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…
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
When moving a PDF file from the main BlueBeam application to another window (or second monitor), it creates a new Bluebeam tab. I would like to see it create a new separate application on my computer that I can pull up and down, as needed. Currently, if I click away on Bluebeam (with multiple tabs open on multiple…
