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.
Problem I'm experiencing is when you're typing in the search bar within the 'Tool Chest' panel, if you move your cursor out of the search box itself, the text cursor disappears and the program starts registering any key strokes as hotkeys. This doesn't happen with the search box within the 'Search' panel for example.…
I was happily using the new Offset tool (shortcut 'O') a few weeks ago. I went to use it again today and it seems to be grayed out. Whether I have a markup selected or not, the tool does not seem to work. Tried restarting system, no luck. Was this feature disabled in the latest update? I'm running 21.9, Core Subscription.…
Curious if anyone adds a "time" or "man hours" columns in their markups list when doing takeoff. I have some ideas but unsure if they will actually be useful. For example: 10 LF of footing = 1 man hour. Does anyone have any tips on adding custom columns on their markups for time? I already utilize it for material cost per…
I marked up a cloud in Revu and added three comments to the markup. On the web version, I can see all three comments. However, on the iPad, only two are displayed, and the first comment is not visible. Does anybody know how to display the first comment on the iPad? The image below is how you see it on Bluebeam for Web: The…
Is there any way to autogenerate markups in Bluebeam instead of manually tracing every area and perimeter? I bid multiple jobs a week, and these "robotic" takeoffs are a huge bottleneck. Does Bluebeam have an AI feature to auto-detect these boundaries and generate the markups? Manually tracing miles of sidewalk, asphalt,…
Hi, Im locked out of my account. Could you please reinstate my account as we have made payment and I have been on hold on the phone for an hour today and 30 minutes yesterday to no answer and i can't get through to you via email. Thanks,
I believe the crosshair color customization needs to be restored. I relied on this feature for a long time, and in the newer version it appears that I’m no longer able to change it. This change significantly affects my workflow.
Hi!, I'm a senior technician in an architect office, and I regurlarly do some site surveillance and dificiency reports. I am looking for an app on a tablet to consult plans (pdf format ideally), annotate them with comments (ideally speak-to-text) that will generat a list of comments with a "pin" on the pdf plan localising…
Hey, Is anyone know why Revu is crashing. I open it uplaod plans start measuring and it just crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have a very time sensitive project that I am doing and need it now and support is over 24hrs away. Any help be much appreciated. Thank you
If you choose an area and set the color, line weight and so on, then click out of measurement you have to then go back and redo all the particulars for that item that you are trying to take off. Can this be remedied? Onscreen allows the user to set a group of items to use repeatedly throughout a set of drawings (color,…
