I am currently doing takeoffs for trenching and I cant find a tool that will help me in one step. Is there a tool that I dont know of? Example a polyline tool with options to give it a depth a bottom width and top width for the sloped trenches. This tool would be a great help to calculate trench volumes.
I wanted to removed all markups in my pdf so when I open it to BB it will apply the profile that i save.
Hi, how do i add or create a coverage area layover similar to this and scaled …Thank for any help
How do I keep a selected setting for the measurements, font size, line size, tip style, etc., how can I set that in the app and it stay there instead of me having to resize everytime I take a measurement?
I have a document with over 30 text boxes that are polygon shaped. I need to keep the text the same and just change all the text boxes at once to a rectangle shape. Is there any option to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bluebeam Support informed me that external scripting is a provided feature but not a supported feature so the only avenue for support is peer support. Searching the forum doesn't yield many results that would indicate many users are taking advantage of this feature but I guess that isn't surprising since it isn't…
I need to copy-paste formatted text boxes, and then edit it similar to this one: Is there a way to do it in Revu? I can only snapshot the text box (but can't edit afterwards). If I copy-paste, it keeps the text, but not the format, and I still can't edit. Any idea/trick?
Hi, I have a question about the "Visual Search" feature. I have watched the tutorial on how to use this feature from the Bluebeam University so tried testing it out for myself, it all worked fine until I realised that when I select an entity to search, it will only find and markup the entities above around the half way…
We are trying to standardize user permissions by creating Groups in Bluebeam Studio. It seems to be that Groups are individual user based and I also had an issue where a user invited to a group on one project automatically got invited to another group when that same user group was added to that project. Anybody else use…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…

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…
