In construction projects, precise measurements are crucial, especially when preparing the foundation of a building. An offset is used to create a boundary around the structure, typically extending 1.8 meters from the building's perimeter. This offset allows for the necessary workspace for construction excavation. By…
My firm is looking into purchasing a few tablets for site observation and I was wondering what are some specific workflows and devices other firms are using. We would like to connect with our servers remotely to access documents for marking-up and answering client/consultant questions. We have been getting suggestions of…
Is there a way to confirm I have already used a particular "count signifier". I use the count tool to go over breakers in panel boards and I want a way to confirm that I have already used the data. So if im using red dots and green squares I want to be able to check the red dots, confirming I have already used those…
I'd like to be able to provide mixed text styles (italics, bold, etc.) within a single sticky note. I want to write commentary in the sticky note in italics and then provide actual direction and/or formal comments in standard (unitalicized) text. I don't want two notes, because then somebody has to open both to see all the…
Within two months of purchasing a Basic subscription, the scaled drawing tool feature disabled from my Bluebeam after a software upgrade. Technical support could not figure out what happened or why this feature was enabled in a Basic subscription and recommended I purchase a Core subscription. I am now being told that I am…
I'd love to be able to turn off the automatic creation of a comment that contains the text I highlighted, so that just the highlight is located in the markups list with no comments. I usually highlight something and then want to make a comment ABOUT the highlighted text, so I edit the comment. Sometimes, I just want to…
One recurring request I get is help scaling two separate views/snapshots/markups to be the same size. Often, the source views are not at a preset scale so doing the math isn't a realistic option and even when it is, it seems there should be an easier way. Like using the three points to align overlays but in this case, use…
We are not allowed to use Studio because it reaches out to commercial cloud-based system.
Is there anyway that we could be able to save multiple different highlighting colors into "My Tools" toolbox? This would make reviewing documents so much easier and quicker. As of now, we can only have (1) color assigned to the (H) key and it cannot be saved to "My Tools".
When I have number of drawings covering an area I often stitch the drawings together by starting a new blank pdf with large page size and then repeatedly using the overlay pages tool to bring them all together. I often delete off the boarder and title block to remove the clutter. It works reasonably well, but is time…

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…
