I work for a concrete construction company. I am new to Bluebeam and am wondering what tool would I use to measure foundation footings around the perimeter of a building that the walls sit on. Or even how to measure the basement walls for a home to figure out how much concrete is needed for that foundation. Say, for…
Is there a way to automate some of the repetitive process in Bluebeam? Is there a way to integrate Bluebeam with automation software like Power Automate, Zapier, or Make? We would like to automate some of our processes in blue beam such as exporting markups csv, creating folders and adding files in studio projects, setting…
Everyone seems to want the option to edit others' comments in Studio Session, it even came up in our BUG webinar yesterday. I understand that there are reasons for the current setup (legacy code, accountability, comment history, etc) but there may be other solutions Bluebeam can implement easier than unlocking comments. So…
I recently attended a Bluebeam Live event and was shown a slide of a background screen color that mimics an original blueprint. Can anyone out there tell me if this already a released feature and if so how to get to it? And if not, when will this feature be available. Thanks
HI BOEING TEAM; FOR THOSE WHO USE BOEINGMENU WE HAVE ADDED BLUEBEAM DESIGNTOOLS ADDINS MORE TO COME…
My System Measurement is already in U.S. format (Change the way measurements) Any other way to change the Length and weight unit in 3D PDF. I need this in feet and inches. Once this is resolved my task is completed successfully.
As per attached photo - I've carried out a couple of measures but there doesn't seem to be the subject grouping like previous versions. Attached photo for reference. Any advice would be great on putting this back on the screen.
We're looking to invest in some estimating software and was just wondering whether Bluebeam is capable of doing what Planswift does
Hi, I have a question. To upgrade from Basic to Core in Revu, do I have to pay the full Core plan or do I only pay the difference between Basic and Core? What steps do I have to follow if I only have to pay the difference?

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…
