This week, we’re highlighting Layers in Bluebeam Revu. Layers let you organize content, making it easy to show or hide different elements like markups or design details.
How have you used layers to keep your documents organized?
Layers are great so it's a shame that when you try to use a parent and child setup you can't then use a template as these settings are lost.
Solution at the moment is to just save a ordinary master pdf but if this issue can be fixed then using a template would be much better.
@vfrench - This suggestion may be slightly different than what you're suggesting above, but I think it's in line with what you're saying. If not, please correct me! Either way, please submit this feedback to us!
Also - Layers is a topic that's being discussed next week! RSVP here if you're interested in discussing Layers with your peers!

Hi @Angela Aff .
I have the layers in the template exactly how I want them - parent and child layers all look fine. I've then even created and named a new configuration.
However, as soon as I open a new drawing from the template, all of the setting are lost and I'm just left with one long list of layers - no parent or child settings.
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
Since the update, my area measurements have been messing up when I try to add a curve control point while measuring. I hold ctrl + click and drag and it almost always reverts back to a straight line when I release and adds a point where my cursor was holding the curve. Also, the lines/area disappear completely if I move…
I have added our org SharePoint to Bluebeam Cloud (website) and I can see folders as I would expect. When I add my org OneDrive account to Bluebeam Cloud I see OneDrive and PersonalCacheLibrary folders show, if I click on OneDrive, it says "Something went wrong. Please try again." Never works, and I opened a ticket and…
If Bluebeam thought moving away from Bluebeam Revu for iPad in favor of Bluebeam Cloud was a good move… they have some explaining to do. I have been trying to get Bluebeam Cloud work for my team and so far it is glitchy, slow, cumbersome, and it is missing 90% of what made Bluebeam Revu so good. I can't measure things in…
A mirror tool would be really helpful when sketching ideas.
I found this support article, but I don't see the options shown in the screenshot to send to Cloud. At the bottom of the tool set menu I only see Manage Tool Sets, there's no Send Tool Sets to Bluebeam Cloud.
In our work, we frequently need to compare floor plan drawings. Often, we have to compare older drawings from archives with very new and detailed ones. The scales of these drawings often differ — sometimes from 1:100 to 1:200, but more commonly with small variations of 1–5% at a detailed level. Our current workflow is as…
Introduce a return function in Bluebeam! For example; Let's say there are annotations on the floor plan that have hyperlinks that take you to that annotated elevation and from there you click another annotation marker on the elevations that takes you to that detail and if you want to go back, you either have to remember…
Hi everyone, We’re currently using Intune-managed iPads for our Engineers, locked down as “Bluebeam iPads.” This setup works well for us, but with the recent announcement that Revu is being discontinued, we’re concerned about functionality moving forward. One of the key requirements for us is the ability to print PDFs on…
