Lock icon represents "Checked Out" instead of "Available for checkout"
Existing Lock symbol meaning "Available for checkout" is misleading. Need to change symbols & add color. The red icon to mean "locked or checked out". The green icon to mean "unlocked available".

Don't require project-by-project invitation to join session.
We have many projects moving through our office simultaneously. Many people are involved in many projects, and their involvement might vary from being designer or drafter, to just being a reviewer. A regular point of pain is where each project needs to authorise access to each person to a session. It would be useful if a…

Quantity Link - Source File select
My suggestion is to allow quantity link fields to be directed to one of the source files only, not all, as another option in the drop down like below… OR, (even better) to be able to dynamically change these source files by putting the relevant filepath in a field, i.e. column A has the filepaths, and the workbook can…

Please include a "Sort Pages by Page Label" function
A simple "sort" function when merging 2 pdf's with hundreds of pages each would help. The way of doing it now by extracting pages, and then combining them becomes tedious and time consuming.

Tools that support Georeferenced PDFs
Georeferenced PDFs are not a new thing, but it was surprising to me that these files do not have supporting tools in Bluebeam. The company I work for has been evaluating the benefits of switching our standard PDF editor/viewer from Adobe to Bluebeam, and this functional gap was a downside brought up by one of my peers. A…

automatically apply "send to back" to superseded labels?
It would be helplful if superseded labels automatically had "send to back" applied as part of batch slipsheeting. My job is preparing documents for sessions. Some of our users said they can't easily select markups if they're fully behind a stamp, so I've started doing "send to back" manually. I think it would make sense to…

Ctrl-E Keyboard Shortcut
Currently the "Ctrl-E" shortcut opens an email window with the active .pdf attached and the subject line matches the filename of the .pdf. This is my most used BlueBeam shortcut. Problem is Microsoft is pushing "New Outlook" on users and I'm begrudgingly becoming used to it (it's actually great for a lot of things BTW).…

Blueprints
It would be great that when you open up a set of plans; Bluebeam automatically scans and names each page likes other programs do instead of the user just seeing 1, 2, 3 or having the user name each one which can be exhausting given there are many pages.

Enhancement Suggestions for Space Tools in Bluebeam
Hi Bluebeam Community and Product Team, I’d like to share some feedback and suggestions regarding the Space Tools in Bluebeam, hoping to see further enhancements in future releases. Currently, Spaces can be created manually or imported from a Revit BIM Model, which is a great start. However, the current functionality is…

Suggestions for Enhancing Measurement Tools in Bluebeam – Insights from AutoCAD & Revit User
Hi Bluebeam Community, I’m an experienced AutoCAD and Revit user with over 10 years in the industry, and I’ve been using Bluebeam for the past 3 years. While Bluebeam has become an essential part of my workflow, I believe there are opportunities to further enhance its measurement tools by drawing inspiration from…

Capture Photos from iPad Camera and attach to Callout or other Markups
In Bluebeam Revu for iPad (which is slated to end soon) I would insert a markup comment (text) and then "attach" a captured photo (or image from a file). This has become very useful during construction site observations / punch walks. Once back in the office after adding several comments with attached photos, I would use…

Turn off Brown Help Box at top of screen when highlight feature is in use.
need a way to turn off this feature (brown help box) that lets you know the highlight is in use. toggling between different documents or screens, it moves every time you move documents. It is very distracting and moves your page.

Shape Recognition for auto placement of markup tools
I would like a scan option for shape recognition of a selected shape to place a selected markup tool on the shape within a set of drawings. Like Trimble LiveCount but better. I use Revu for estimating, for Revu to locate all of the duplex outlets and place a markup tool on the ones found would be nice! 😎

More callout options
This is something I used to be able to do in Microsoft Publisher that I feel would be useful in Bluebeam. Callouts that allow the option of different shapes, such as rounded edges or ovals. Also, if we could snap leaderlines or arrows to objects that associate with the object and move around with the object from the…

Markup replacement
My team uses a combination of markups (usually snapshot or group types) for takeoffs for multiple projects per day. Fairly often we will have to switch to a different manufacturer or solution midway through a takeoff or even after it's completed. These symbols usually represent ceiling or wall devices shown on scaled floor…
