Hallo, ich bräuchte Hilfe bzgl. der Polygonlängen - Messung in Revu 21. Ich habe eine automatisierte Baugrubenkalkulation in Excel aufgestellt, in der ich anhand der Polygonfläche des Gebäudegrundrisses die Volumina und Flächen ermittelt bekomme. Aktuell tippe ich die Koordinaten in Excel händisch ein, welche ich von PDF…
Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue on a new laptop and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have an active Bluebeam Basics subscription, but when I sign into Bluebeam on my new laptop, I get a message saying my free trial has expired and that I need to upgrade to keep using the software. The same…
Hi We had used your product for one single user as an individual . We need to renew the licence and may be add more user. I created an account buy using login 'Org Admin' UK, create an account the account creation is successful but if I try to logon onto the Org Admin portal I do have an error. DO I need to purchase at…
Several Municipalities are requesting the PDF's be Unlocked so they can mark-up and add their stamps. Much to Engineers sealed drawings, they do not want them unlocked. I tried scanning and sending them, but they are still locked. Can a blank mark-up layer be added before or after password protecting the drawing?
Hi everyone, I’m working with a new license that doesn’t seem to work. Everything is greyed out, and I can’t select any functions in the different documents. Is there something I forgot to activate or similar? I’ve paid for the “Core” version.
Hi Everyone, I have been back and forth all morning trying to reset my scale sizing. it is showing my measurements in inches and ft but I need them in m2. When I then go to remeasure it just goes back to the original inches and ft. Could some one please tell me how to reset this fully as i have never seen this before.
I'm trying to edit an interactive stamp I've created to have a dropdown field for our cost types, but I can't get the javascript code to work correctly and every time I try I'm losing the dialog box. I've linked Test Stamp 1 (the fields all fill out the way I want, but the Cost Type isn't a dropdown) but I know there's a…
I am using Bluebeam Version 21.7. I am using icons in my tool box and plotting them on my maps. I then click on those icons, right click and select create Legend. It is sometimes not updating the quantity and retaining the symbol icons. Any help is appreciated.
I often use Revu to combine documents into one PDF. Revu always asks if I want to save the stapler job before exiting. I never want to save the stapler job. Is there a way to stop that "Save Job before Exiting" popup from coming up?
1 out of 4 documents won't show our organization's profile when trying to set the status of a comment in a Bluebeam Session. We re-converted the document to a PDF and the issue still remains when we opened it with Bluebeam. We received the original document from another organization and it's not locked by the creator. Is…
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
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 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 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
