This is my first post, so please forgive me if I misstep! I had a project for a client that was looking to streamline their submittal process. In the past, their method was to complete single lines for lighting control in AutoCAD and print to PDF for contractors to Bid / utilize for construction. Our idea was to further…
After upgrading to Revu 21.4 I started getting this popup message whenever I launch Revit. Because I'm working on some older projects, I'm using Revit 2023, 2024, and 2025. 2024 is the only version this doesn't show up so I guess that's the version the add-in was applied to. What effect does this error have and how can I…
How can I change measurements, dimensions & calibration, from architectural to engineering units?
when using text box to label circuits on electrical drawings, is there a way to set a text box to color the numbers to the phase color of that number. say I type in a 1 the text is Black, if I type in a 3 the text will be red, and 5 would show in Blue
Is there a way to export the Tags for a Bluebeam Set?
We have 2 users the upgraded to this today. Now neither of them can print to Bluebeam.pdf(that option is no longer available) and Bluebeam is no longer integrated into their MS Word or Excel. However, Bluebeam works. Very odd situation. Any ideas?
Attempting to 'Automark' a plan set using a recent webinar that Ryan and Harry presented on. In the data box, I am only getting the preview to be the Region 1/Region 2 as shown below. Also, in the attached thumbnail photo, I'm not sure why the red box is so large. Scaling is not important to me during automarking, but…
Hello Everyone, Frequently, the plans we receive have a lot of existing markup from the engineer, etc. These are artifacts visible in both the PDF view and the Markups List. Is there a simple way to hide these from the Markups List but leave them visible in the PDF? These are not relevant to my workflow in the Markups List…
Hello Everyone, is there a simple way to add a BB-created document, such as an overlay, to a Studio Project without saving it first to the File System and then uploading it to the Studio Project? I apologize if this has already been asked and answered. I tried searching before asking but didn't come up with anything. Thank…
I would like to know which is the best application to use these two options in Revu? I would like to be able to look at a list of a room and just click on a link that brings me to the only spots needed for the room.

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…
