I'm new to Bluebeam…I LOVE it so far, but I'm looking for the best way to measure casework/cabinetry. Typically, for casework, I work in linear feet, but in Bluebeam I would like to markup the casework with either a rectangle or something like that. I don't want to use a rectangle then use a length measurement over the top…
Does BB certified for any standards e.g. in the area of Document Management I see https://www.iso.org/standard/76865.html Similarly on Cloud Security - ISMS Cloud Security Project Management Standards or Govt related and domain related (e.g in Aerospace each document should be maintained with all the versions for 100 years…
I am looking for an Excel template that takes the number of site engineers and workplaces of big AECO companies and calculates if BB is used, and what is the cost-saving yearly.
I currently have a 2015 MacBook Pro (Intel based) and run Revu via Parallels. Revu works well and I have no issues. I do not consider myself a power user by any means. Revu is typically utilized as a measurement tool and most other features within Revu are not utilized. However, the 2015 MacBook Pro has reached the end of…
Is there a way to save color preferences of the colorize option of images/snapshots? Trying to be able to save that my bluebeam profile like other tools.
I have printed a set of plans that has over a hundred sheets and then I batched signed them. After signing them I realized one of the sheets did not print correctly so instead of reprinting the entire set again, or clearing the signatures one by one, I want to clear all my signatures with one quick command so I can swap…
I am working on a large submittal package that I need to swap out groups of pages with updates. No matter how I try, it is frustratingly slow as in up to 10 minutes. My current process is to delete the old files and drag the new ones over. Does anyone have suggestions?
I have a black PDF piping diagram and want to colour all the different types of pipes. Eg potable water = Blue, RO water = red, Sewer = green. How do I do this please.
We use a "perimeter" measurement for calculating the total length of saw cuts in a concrete slab. Depending upon the size of the building there may be 40 or more of them. Tada, the Architect updates the drawing and the new drawing has to be marked up. I am able to copy and paste one measurement at a time. Is there a way to…
I am not a pro bluebeamer. Appreciate the help. As you can see above, I want to know if there is a way to extend the horizontal/vertical lines to the angled line all at once rather than clicking and extending one at a time. I use the multiply option to equally space the lines, then I have to individually extend them to 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…
Seeing as to how many rave reviews there AREN'T for Cloud, I wanted to come on here and list a few features that are desperately needed, and see if anyone else has insight into how the mobile version can be made as awesome as the PC version: Undo/redo button - Honestly can’t believe this is not there… dynamic editing of…
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…
