How do i extract the area of a door or window or oppening from the area of a wall?
So, I went through my 165 page PDF and replied to all the comments but using the right click → Reply option. Now, due to limitations with the original creator of the comments, I actually need to have them show as a text box next to the original comment. How do I convert the reply to comments into text boxes next to the…

I'm wondering if anyone has ever discovered a workaround for Revu requiring admin rights to install updates. This has become unwieldy and inconvenient for our users. I was thinking of experimenting with giving users full control on some program folders or assets but I thought I would reach out so I'm not reinventing the…
A question for the ages in the AEC industry, regarding the abbreviation for UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE or UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED… Do you belong to team UNO, or team UON?
Hi Community! I'm creating a drawing status stamp for my Team of Design Managers. We are a major contractor. I have created a finished template (containing two drawing statuses with tickboxes within it). I have 2 x issues I'm facing so far; one being around the Dynamic Date Tool and the other being Dynamic Tickbox Tool.…
I would like to know what is the best method to go through a project and begin to capture info for RFI's?
I was trying to figure out how to change the text size 1 to size 0.5 and every time I use the font size text box to change the number to 0.50 it'll default the size to 8. Is there a way to change the text size smaller then 1?
We need help. We use Bluebeam Revu to edit PDFs with stamps and text modules. At first, it worked. We work at two workstations and log in normally. For a few days now, we've been opening PDFs. When we start up, the editing bar on the page becomes active. Then it loads the PDF, and the bar becomes inactive. I've tried…
I recently synced my work OneDrive account with Bluebeam Cloud and I'm trying to figure out the benefits or the reasons for doing so. I'm new to using the Cloud option but does it makes sense to store documents and have OneDrive access all under one roof? I just realized that there is unlimited document storage on the…

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…
