I want to better understand how permissions work in Studio Sessions. I have asked BB and was basically told to attend a 101 seminar at the end of November and read the product help screens. Really? So, I want to state what I think I already know and ask for clarification from the community. It feels like the documentation…
I purchased the iPad app. I use Microsoft SharePoint. I can't seem to connect to my account via WebDAV, it always says "Unable to Login" and "Forbidden". Do I need to configure anything in Microsoft 365?
Hello, we are looking for a program to create polylines with seperate measurement from segment to segment - so we found bluebeam. The next Challenge is to get the measurment of the segments into a *.csv I finally found the marking list where i can find a export - but no split for the measurments of the segments - so I hope…
As an electrical contractor are there any significant changes that should persuade me to update from 2016 (paid in full) to the current version (annual subscription) software?
Good day, I'm fairly new to BlueBeam 21 so I'm not sure if this has been asked/answered before, but I've searched and for the life of me I can't find a way to do it haha Problem: I'm trying to link a lot (100+) cells to show data from pdf. They should all have the same "Total" and "Subject" from the tool chest tools but…
Behind multiple markups we want it to have a specific link to a selected cell (different per markup) in an excel sheet. Using the action and url we were able to add the link, but is does not to work. This one of the formats we tried : <filepath>#SheetName!CellReference or excel://C:/Documents/myfile.xlsx#Sheet1!B5 Both…
Hey there, I work in estimating for a local construction company and we utilize Bluebeam to create markups (counts) based on provided plans. Sometimes the plans are single story or single area buildings and other times they are multi-story or even multi-area / multi-story buildings. We usually export our markups via a CSV…
Is there a way to link quantities to Excel from a Studio document? All of my work is exclusively in Studio but I can't seem to connect the two.
Hello All, If I am not mistaken, there is no current way to export a PDF package to retain the individual pdf sets from a Bluebeam Studio Session. The only current way creates a combined PDF set, to which then the admin of the session would need to break them apart if they wanted to keep them separate.
Good morning, Does anyone have recommendation of a Australian company that sells construction QS rate packages for building estimates? We typically outsource to QS companies our project but have the capacity and programs inhouse to do our own. The only thing missing is a rate library. In the past we have owned Rawlinson…

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…
