User Management Suggestion
It would greatly help with managing users from different divisions, different offices if the user list included user telephone number and title. My organization has three divisions in different locations, with each division manages their own users. However, the user list for our Account has no way to organize users. There…
Symbols
Can we have a way of adding symbols to text similar to that in Word/Outlook? Many in this community will use symbols everyday and the current copy/paste option is long winded and a bit clumsy. A simple drop down box like the one shown above would be a big time saver.
Sort studio session attendee ALERTs [by name or email domain]
The current Session Alerts dialogue box cannot be sorted in any way. It's challenging to scroll and find people in a long list. Would love to be able to sort this list somehow. Groups within the list are likewise not user friendly at all.
Export Captures to CSV with Markups Summary
We sometimes use BB on iPads or Surface tablets for site inspections which we use to create a report of deficiencies. We'll add a markup to a plan, add comments in a note, then use the capture tool to take multiple photos at the marked locations. Something I'd look for is being able to export all captures as either a…
Ability to Zoom
Revu 20/21 arent able to zoom while drawing some markups with navigation setting "scrolling" enabled
Install on D drive
Please make it possible to choose the drive where the application installs. IT guys set up the computers with everything defaulting to the C drive and it is never big enough because the apps keep taking more more space. Being able to choose the drive would be super helpful!!!
Exporting Nested Data from Grouped Markups
Could Bluebeam add an option to export grouped markup data without ungrouping? I’m working on a large project takeoff involving numerous material objects, where grouped markups helped streamline the process. However, when exporting data, the export function combines grouped markup data, preventing access to individual item…
Change Callout Leader Thickness Without Adding a Text Box
I frequently use callouts, but sometimes I want the callout to have a leader line without enclosing the text in a box. Currently, if the line thickness is set to 0.00 pt, the text appears by itself with a 1.00 pt leader line. However, if I adjust the line thickness, a box automatically appears around the text. Is there a…
Image appearance
Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible on BlueBeam to make an image appear in Popup mode by hovering the mouse over a word.That is, when I move the mouse over a word, an image appears on my PDF. Maybe with JAVA or Python code?
Erstellen einer Übersicht aus einer Markups-Liste in CSV/Excel
man kann in "Übersicht" bei der "Ausgabe" - Einstellung die Auswahl "Gesamtwerte" treffen. Diese Auswahl ist jedoch keine Option, da nicht der Betreff und nicht die selbst hergestellten Spalten erscheinen. Bild 1 Ich benötige den "Betreff" und meine erzeugte Spalte "BD- Einheit" Bild 2 Wenn man Auswahl "Markierungen und…
More Options for 3D file types for 3D PDF creation or plugin for SketchUp
Hello Bluebeam, I'm looking to incorporate 3D models into a PDF report. The models are usually created from simple LiDAR scans using an iPhone and apps such as "Polycam" and "3D Scanner App" which typically export to .OBJ .GLB .FBX etc… I can't find any work arounds to get this into a .U3D file to use in a 3D PDF. I've…
Perimeter - ability to edit length
As an architect, we use the perimeter command to illustrate maximum travel distances. The dimension command allows us to click on the distance (number) and type in a new number and the dimension automatically adjusts. We need the ability to do the same with perimeter. Right now, if I have a maximum travel distance of 300’,…
Suggestion to Bluebeam: Enhancing the Snapshot Feature with Auto Snap/Align Capabilities
Bluebeam's Snapshot feature is a fantastic tool that the design team frequently uses to copy structural framing layout plans and overlay them onto architectural drawing layouts. This functionality greatly enhances efficiency and collaboration, especially during design coordination meetings. However, one limitation is that…
Suggestion to Bluebeam: Enhancing OCR Capabilities for Handwritten Content
Bluebeam's OCR feature for scanned design and construction drawings has proven to be a powerful tool for professionals in the AEC industry. However, I’ve noticed a significant limitation when it comes to recognizing handwritten notes or annotations on these drawings. Currently, the technology struggles to accurately…
Bentley ProjectWise 2024 Integration
Currently, we see that Revu 21 has integration with ProjectWise Explorer 2023. However, we are upgrading to PW 2024 and noticed that we lost the integration. How soon will this feature be available? Hopefully this integration will continue to be supported as new versions of PW Explorer are released. Thanks.

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.
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…
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??
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.
Showing who has a PDF file open.
Just curious if there is a feature that can be added. The company I work for uses a network that will give access to pdf drawing files and the files are locked when someone has them open. I am wondering if there is a way we can add the feature to see who has the file open instead of it saying "locked by another user" as…
