Hello,

We would find it highly valuable to be able to pull measurements on drawings uploaded to Cloud. This would allow guys in the field to be able to measure things on the drawings while in the field on their iPads. We currently only have iPads for our superintendents, and instead of them having to call into the office to get a measurement of a door opening for example, they could get the measurement themselves, saving everyone time.

Hey @Landon McKinlay, thank you for this feedback! Could you share more about what type of measurements you need to make and why? This could really help us out.

It would be helpful to take length measurements. An example of this would be, I received a call from a superintendent this week to see what a door opening width is, as well as what a wall length was in an office room. These are things that should be able to be done on the cloud without having to waste each other's time.

Area would also be helpful. We would be able to get area measurements of siding, carpet, lumber for roof decking, all in the field. This would not only help us be able to complete take offs in the field to order material, but also allow us to verify quantities ordered that are ordered by people either in the office or in the field to confirm we are not over or under ordering.

perimeter/polylength would be great to have for the same reasons as the above. We have to order a lot of wainscotting and FRP materials, and it would be great to get these quantities on the cloud.

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.
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…
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…
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.
