Align to Segment
I often find that when I insert a tool, e.g., a rectangle of a specific size, in the corner of a room, the dimensions can be hard to read, as these values are placed along the line of the wall when the rectangle snaps to this area. It would be great to be able to offset the segment value so that it appears inside the…

Markup Status Settings - Drastic UI Improvements needed
So after using Bluebeam on and off at several Architecture and Engineering firms I keep coming back to major adoption issues with Revu and Studio for internal redlines. Many firms are stuck in the pen and paper mentality of use a highlighter color to "cross out" markups as they are addressed in the redline/QAQC stage. They…

Tool Chest UX regressions
You used to be able to click the header of a tool set to expand and collapse the set, now you must click the arrow Additionally, you used to be able to see the color of tools in properties mode when the set is in Detail view; now the color only appears in symbol view

Visual Search Apply Count Improve Icon Resolution
v21.6 unless the Tool Set magnification is set to high, the resolution of Icons is too low when you apply a count to Visual Searches. It would be better to have a higher resolution of these Icons permanently.

Improvement Proposal for Bluebeam: Multi-Selection of Control Points within an Area
Current Issue: In Bluebeam Revu, it is currently not possible to select multiple control points (nodes) of a single area markup (such as a polygon, area, or volume) at the same time for batch editing or deletion. For large or complex areas with many control points, manually deleting or adjusting individual nodes is…

Automated page labels via bookmarks from Revit print dialog
I would like to be able to create page labels automatically via the bookmarks for documents created using the Revit print dialog. Currently, PDFs created using the Revit print dialog (not the BB plugin) have bookmarks nested under a non-functioning bookmark called "Sheets". Because of this you need to do a few manual…

Add Calculation Functionality for Editing Line Lengths
A feature that would be very helpful for the development of markups is if a simple calculation function were built into the properties toolbar for editing line lengths. This would allow users to quickly draw a line and set it to the desired length for the scale of the sheet. For example, if my plan scale is 1"=25' and I…

QR Code Device Sign-In
I work for an engineering firm where we have users who go on-site for construction monitoring, capturing photos and marking up documents etc. With the use of the Bluebeam Cloud on iOS (iPad). With password complexity requirements, it would make it easier for users to be able to sign in by scanning a QR code from their…

Linear and Count Takeoffs with volume calculation
As a GC estimator, It would be incredibly helpful to have a linear and count takeoff tool that allows users to input both width and depth, and then automatically calculates volume. This would eliminate the need to rely on the accuracy of architect drawn widths when using the volume measurement tool.

Adjusting Properties in Bulk on Forms
We build a lot of forms and make them fillable. When doing so, or even when opening up a form with fillable spaces, you should be able to select the fillable boxes and adjust the properties individually, or in bulk for the entire form, as needed. This would be a great help when you have built a form, for example, and all…

Measure length along a sloped curve with the Perimeter tool
Please add the ability to measure the length of a sloped curve to the perimeter tool. I am consistently measuring guardrail lengths along curved staircases and have to manually calculate the total length of the guardrail. On straight staircases and slopes I am able to use the Length tool to accurately perform my takeoffs.

Reset of All Page Labels
I would like to see them make it so that when you are rearranging pages, adding pages, and deleting pages as you build a document, it will reset the page labels (page numbers) automatically instead of us having to continuously use the "Reset All Page Labels" function. This should be a given in a document when it is being…

Print on Both Sides
We build project manuals and print thousands of copies a week, and I would like to see the Print on Both Sides Option with the Long or Short side choice in the main print screen, maybe even be able to set it as a default for the day. This would be much better than resetting the properties on our printer every time. When…

OCR Defaults
I work with documents all of the time and would like to be able to default my OCR to "Text Documents" so that we do not have to change it so many times in one day. We build the specification packages that go out with our bids, and this is a regularly repeated task for us.

Bring Back Close All Tab X
The ability to close all tabs without searching or right mouse is essential. I think the previous ability to do this should be bought back.
