I use Revu essentially for area, length, and perimeter. There are often times where I have an area which required forms etc around the subject. I know I am able to see the length in the properties but I would like one subject for the area and one subject for the perimeter. i.e. 5'x20sf of sidewalk. one subject 4" sidewalk…
Hi, everyone. It is there any way to change the color of a layer on a PDF? I have a plan coming from AutoCAD, and all the layers are in black. I know I can change the color of a layer in AutoCAD and send to PDF, but how can I do it after on a PDF ? The layer properties does not have an indication of color properties. Thanks

Include in the ability to hide markups a way to hide an select individual(s) and still be able to add markups. Currently it's hide all or hide none, without the ability to hide an individuals comments we have to turn everyones off to review the document then back on to add a new one.
Can the running Markups List be detached from the main window so it can be dropped on a separate screen making drawings viewable side-by-side with markups without having the markups list on the same screen as the drawings? Can this be added in an update, if it is not already possible?
One of the features from Adobe that we miss with Bluebeam's document-combining workflow is the ability to split a document into pages and arrange them along with other documents. I believe 80-90% of our workflow with this could be accomplished with the ability to select a subset of page(s) from a PDF document, which could…
Often I need to be able to look at two studio sessions at one time (structural studio session and a mechanical studio session). Can this please be added so that users can be in multiple sessions at any given time?
Architectural details are drawn at 3" per foot and we have full sheets of details at this size. Please add this scale into your standard scales. 6" per foot is also used for some details. Since these scales are not available we always have to set the scale of the sheet manually. Please add these common scales to your…
We have over 600 custom words. Revu allows you to add them one at a time, but it would be great if there was a way to bulk import the list of words.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
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…
