Bluebeam Tool Repository
Please create an open source repository similar to GitHub for sharing and developing Bluebeam tools and add-ins. At a minimum this could be a place to share custom tool sets, patterns, stamps, linetypes, etc. At the best it could include the ability to create plug-ins and/or scripting tools to amplify the usefulness of…
Using Revu to Print a document with layers is horribly poor
I have a document with many layers that I can turn on and off. I also use the "configurations" option to save my various layer selections. This allows me to save many different configurations of the layers that are selected. However, the problem is when I need to print something. There is a separate column that shows what…
Secure Tool Sets with a password
While I understand it is great to be able to export and share tools, many of our customers build or pay to create premium tools to enhance their business set them apart from their competition. One of the common things we hear from our larger customers is that they want a way to be able to protect their tools (by password…
Window snapping and window behavior
I would like to suggest a couple of enhancements to improve the user experience for those of us who utilize multitasking workflows. Enhanced Window Snapping Functionality: It would be incredibly beneficial if Bluebeam Review could incorporate the ability to snap to various portions of the screen when hovering over the…

Hello, Please see attached. I am doing a rebar takeoff. I have a footing that is not squared. I have used multiply option to multiply my rebar lines spaced equally. however as you can see I have to adjust each line into the footing shape. Can you please create an option that I can trim all lines at the direction i want at…
Turning Off File Storage Capabilities of Bluebeam Cloud
We have users who use studio, and understand that this means that certain data will always live/be present in Bluebeam's Cloud. However we be interested in being able to turn off some of the core file storage functions of Bluebeam Cloud. For example, the "My Workspaces" section, where you can upload/store/work on files.…
Bluebeam Scripting (specifically BalancePages)
BalancePages should have a function to allow you to insert your own PDF. InsertPages has this functionality, so it isn't too far out of the realm of possibilities. Use: Making sure documents are always even or odd by slip-sheeting individual PDFs prior to combining. Having the possibility of IF/THEN statement in Bluebeam…
Add custom highlights to toolset
I would like to be able to create a toolset for "Scope of Work". The best way I see to do this is to use the highlighter tool and fill in the "subject" field for the specific scope. Then I highlight the text for that scope and it adds the text to the markup list. I would then be able to export the markup list and send out…
File Access - Save Category Collapsed States
I'm a project manager who uses Bluebeam to manage multiple project design files through multiple stages of a project. I love using File Access to pin frequently used files for quick access, and using Categories to keep those pinned files organized. Pinned categories can be manually expanded and collapsed, but it would be…
Correct Usage of 3d Space Mouse for Navigation of a 2D pdf.
I have a 3D Connexion space mouse that I have used for cad work, but I now spend most of my time going through 2D plans doing takeoffs. Instead of constantly scrolling to zoom in and zoom out, and dragging the pdf around with a mouse click, it would be very beneficial to be able to navigate the 2d pdf directly with the…
Add Average to the Totals When Grouping Measurements
I use the Polylength tool to measure cable runs while taking off drawings during bidding. I assign a specific color line to whatever outlet type I am counting like a 2-postion or 2-cable outlet as an example. I then take off the lengths of all 2-pos outlets per drawing(s). I then group them and figure the average by using…
Suggestions - Array function, custom fixtures/tool sets, and auto-save
Hello, I had a few features I wanted to suggest. I am hoping a developer can review these and leave some feedback. First, an Array function. It would be really nice to have an array function for laying out things like light fixtures that we have created custom tool sets for. I do a lot of design-build jobs, and it gets…
Batch Snapshot
I'd like to be able to create a sort of border or 'viewport' (on multiple pages) on a PDF in BB where I can batch plot multiple Snapshot images from BB into Word as a macro.
User Created Lines . . .
Can we get a change so that user text in a user defined polyline will follow the curvature of the line?
Line Measurement
There should be an easy way to get a length measurement for an existing line or polyline without having to redraw it with a measure tool?

Popular Suggestions

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
Optimisation for the new arm based windows machines
I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have a couple of suggestions that I think could make Bluebeam even better. First off, I've been really impressed with the new ARM-based Windows machines, especially those using the Snapdragon Elite X. They’re powerful, have great battery life—kind of like MacBooks in…
Editable Table
I'd like to create/insert a table into Bluebeam Revu that I can edit like any other markup.
Convert shape to Area
I don't know how many times I have drawn a rectangle or polygon shape to create an outline or fill, only to need the area. Instead of redrawing it, it would be great to be able to simply convert it to an area. Or have them always calculate area regardless of the tool?
