Having Issues surrounding logging into BB Revu. When starting the app, it attempts to connect to a server for login credentials, but never makes it. A country choice dropdown is available, but that is it. It continues to hang no matter what sum of waiting. If I escape (X) from the login, it brings up two blank API message…

The plans we received from the EOR are a mess when it comes to hidden text, so doing things like creating page labels, bookmarks, or Set labels from Page Regions doesn't work and we basically have to manually edit everything, which can be a pain on a 770+ page plan set. At support's suggestion, they had me Print to…
If this preference isn't already available, i would like an option to have the highlighter tool simply as a free form tool, and not one that automatically attached itself to text.
Is there a way to identify which PDF files have a BB markup in a folder? I have approx 200 drawings in one folder to assess, some need to be 'Backcad' & upreved, most dont. Cheers
Hi, can anyone tell me what is the maximum amount of "Quantity Links" they have managed to their excel spreadsheet. I am an estimator of internal walls and linings including carpentry for mainly highrise residential buildings. (User of Bluebeam over 10yrs) My scenario is I have a typical "Toolchest" with 165 items (wall,…
I can create multiple legend types. For example, if I'm doing takeoffs on a multi page document, I can create a legend that adds up my takeoffs/tool counts for each page (source = current). However, if I were to create a legend on say the cover page that adds up all the pages (source = all), the other legends on all the…
Can Someone explain these Red Clouds to me? Why do the Come up and what is the issue? Thank you
Question for the community - How do you use Layers in your workflow? Layers has come up in several topics recently and I thought it would be a good idea to learn how and why some people use them so those of us who don't could better understand how they might benefit us in our daily life. So… How do you use Layers in your…
Seeking resources to onboard and acclimate people (including myself) to scripting routines (via Javascript) in Revu eXtreme. Best I've found so far is this tutorial, but it's limited to stamps. Anything that covers workflows for basic reporting (e.g. filtering and summing markup/annotation quantities by property) would be…

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…
