We've had a handful of random pages being rotated to portrait vs landscape when printed from Revit since the most recent update to 21.3. Has anybody else had similar issues lately?
When I turn off a layer and save my drawing, the layer still appears in the pdf I want to print or send to someone. I've tried unchecking the Print checkbox, but that doesn't do anything. The only way is to delete the layer. That kind of defeats the purpose of having layers.
Hello everyone I found very useful the replace pages tool, since allows me to keep the label from the original page. It's there any way to do this in bulk? I know there is the split page tool that allows me to replace the revised pages in bulk, but it does not keep the original name. It would be great to have the option to…

I have a lot of sessions. Instead of scroll down to find one, a "search" bar could be helpful so we can add the name or the initials of the project in bluebeam.
I use Bluebeam to identify staff locations on a floor plan. Is it possible to import a list of staff names to Bluebeam text fields? Right now, I have to create a new text field for each staff member, but it would be easier if I could just import this list to create multiple text fields.
Example. I need the width of a piece of wood (1) side and the length of that wood (1) side. Not the total length just width and length each independent measurement for the same label.
Any suggestions on how to create folders for every individual unit in 150-350 unit multifamily projects that can be organized by units per floor, includes items such as number of bedrooms, sinks, fireplaces, coat hooks, basically so when exporting in CSV that it will have all the items organized within that folder to make…
Does Bluebeam have a feature similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro that allows for comparing and summarizing the content of Tender Documents instead of just drawings? I know that Adobe Acrobat Pro can easily highlight the differences between two versions of a document and provide a summary of the changes, but I'm wondering if…
Hello, Does Bluebeam have any intentions of pursuing a Fedramp government offering? Does Bluebeam have solid documentation on how to disable cloud functionality? This article referenced these support threads: How to disable access to Bluebeam services | Bluebeam Technical Support We've got a customer who wants to use…

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…
I should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
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 have used BlueBeam Revu to create piping isometric drawings. However, this process takes a very long time and is painstaking because currently Revu only allows you to snap to 45° or 90°. If there was an option to turn on snapping to 15° increments, it would allow for much cleaner and faster creation/marking up of piping…
