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automatically apply "send to back" to superseded labels?
It would be helplful if superseded labels automatically had "send to back" applied as part of batch slipsheeting.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…
Offset Tool
Is there a way to build a tool that does offsets of polygons, lines, polylines, etc.? Not the multiply tool but take a square, for example, and offset/scale it smaller/larger by a specified distance.
Re-Open a List of files
I am opening a half-dozen or more files at a time that are Design manuals, Guidelines and Best Practice type of resources, for several DOT clients, one client at a time. I am not collaborating with other users for this effort. I don't need a Session. I would like to see a couple tools, one to Save a List of Files that are…

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?
