We are trying to standardize user permissions by creating Groups in Bluebeam Studio. It seems to be that Groups are individual user based and I also had an issue where a user invited to a group on one project automatically got invited to another group when that same user group was added to that project. Anybody else use…
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…
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…
Hello all, New to Revu.. I've set the scale on the measurement tool, but when I measure a known size on the drawing, it is showing a smaller size. I've noticed that the page size of the plan is 8.5x11. It's the only difference I've seen from previous plans I've recently done without a problem. Can you advise what I need to…
does BlueBeam need a VBA runtime? it happens on a new Windows 11.
Does anyone know how to print a markup summary to PDF in column form, but not have the (1) designation on any of the selected columns?
This is a question I would really like to have a discussion about within the community, this may end up being a suggestion to the developers if what I am asking for is not possible, let's find out. For a reference to the following please see the attached pictures. I have a need to create a Custom Polylength Tool. I have…
When creating a quantity link, can I filter items based on selected criteria? For instance, I have 5 subjects and each contains 10 label items, I'd like to display only the label items for the chosen subject. Currently, all 50 items are shown, regardless of the subject selected. Is there a way to achieve this filtering…
Looking for a good way to migrate data stored in BlueBeam Cloud to Microsoft SharePoint site without losing any of the meta data along the way.
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to take a comment list and use the list to mark-up plans. We have a standard list in Word that has about 100 comments. I want to take the list and allow the use of one item at a time when marking up a plan. For example, one of the comments could say, "Provide rating where adjacent…

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…
