Create function and hot-key for poly sketch-to-scale tools, revert to previous point
Hello. This feature is available for other, non-scaled poly tools, and the hotkey is backspace. I would suggest you add this feature for sketch-to-scale tools as well. As of right now, the feature doesn't exist, and you have to hit esc, which deletes the entire mark-up, and you have to start over again. Let me know if I…
Inclusion of comments on PDF punchlist reports in Bluebeam Cloud
I am loving Bluebeam Cloud for so many reasons, but am finding tracking progress through the available documentation a little tough—specifically on PDF reports that I send to contractors. With just a single Description field, it's tough to document the "issue description" and "notes about how the issue was resolved" for…
Add a sort/filter option on Bluebeam Sessions
We would like to arrange all sessions by when they are scheduled to close or finish.
Ability to count Segments or Control Points in a Polyline
For taking off bends / elbows in pipe and conduit takeoff, it would be great to know the quantity of control points or segments in a polyline markup. This count could exist as an optional column to add and show in the markup window. Additionally, Bluebeam should be smart enough to tell me what the angle of the bend/control…
Option to not select locked markups
Often when marking things up I have a difficult time when background images and prior markups keep getting accidentally selected or moved when placing new markups on top. Please add an option to not select locked markups. So when this option is active and a markup is locked, it will not be selectable by 1) mouse click, 2)…
Add a Ruler Ticks to the Lines an Polylines (so many uses!)
💥 This one is as simple as adding ruler tick marks to line and polyline tools you already have. When used with the appropriate scale, you get a whole series of measurements along a line all at once, instead of taking multiple individual linear measurements. Perhaps this is the initial phase of development for my other idea…
Previous page button
Is it possible to have a "previous drawing" function like the "previous view" function?
Skew/Distortion Auto-correct
Old plans often have some skew or distortion as a result of the way they were scanned - which means that scaled linear measurements may not be entirely accurate - would love to have a way to auto-correct the skew and distortion! [I posted this on my first post in the "win an Amazon gift card" but is seems more appropriate…
Scaled Axes with Point Extraction
💥One new feature I would totally love to see added to the measuring tools is the ability to define a scaled axis (or a set of axes). Like an x and y axis you could just plop on a graph or cross-section. The next step would be to use that axis set to generate a list of coordinates based on the points you click on - similar…
Cycle markup format options when the shortcut key is pressed multiple times
When marking on pdfs I often need several different types of text, leaders, lines, etc. It slows me down to have to go to the toolbox each time to switch back and forth for commonly used things. It would be really helpful if the user could just hit the shortcut key more than once to cycle through multiple saved default…
Add ability to search by color or strikeout
We often get long pdf documents that are flattened text which have changes tracked in color or underline and deletions struck out. These changes can be very difficult and time-consuming to look for and currently requires flipping through every page and manually identifying each change. Please add the ability to search for…
Markups List for Drawing Sets (also flags and bookmarks)
Option for the markup lists to show markups for entire drawing set. Currently it only shows markups for the active pdf drawing. If your drawing set is made of multiple individual pdf files or if you add an addendum to your drawing set that replaces pages, the Markups list is basically useless. The same could be said for…
make alert selection easier
it is pain AND select a person / group of people in the BB session alert. Please consider giving better interface for that - such as sorting, recent etc..
Custom statuses for Punchlist
One way we track punchlist items is by marking them "In progress" once an item has been started. That acknowledges the contractor's work, and enables the design team to focus elsewhere. Currently, the options of Open, Ready for Review, Out of Scope, and Closed don't capture this nuance of the work. Can Punchlist statuses…
Save view setup
I sometimes work with multiple sets of PDF drawings for the same building. I then split the PDF view vertically or horizontally so I can have one section of the drawings open in one section of the screen and another section on the other side. For example, this could be an architectural set and an electrical set with views…

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?
