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.
Hi all, I am posting to check if there has been any changes with support for fully independent windows when dragging tabs out. When I drag a tab away from the main window, the new window does not have the full toolbar, and minimizing one window causes both to minimize. I know I can open a new instance from the taskbar, but…
I often use Revu to combine documents into one PDF. Revu always asks if I want to save the stapler job before exiting. I never want to save the stapler job. Is there a way to stop that "Save Job before Exiting" popup from coming up?
Hi, I'm a new user and want to edit some text on an existing PDF file. Can somebody please help me on how can this be done. I can use text box to add content, but not edit the original content.
Is there a way to change the search engine used when I look up text from a file?
I have most of my tools set up exactly how I want them and saved. However, every once in a while a tool will go missing or will be moved into another tool set. This might be user error, but I think a way to "lock" tool sets to prevent moving/deleting tools would be helpful!
Hello peers, My goal using BB is to create excel spreadsheets of the counts of Exhaust Fans, Grilles, equipment etc. But most importantly ductwork. Instead of using the measurement tool where it gives you red measurements inbetween two arrows, is there a way I can highlight the duct run and it store the measurement?…
I have noticed when saving a file as PDF from Word the are sometime several bookmarks listed as "1". Bookmarks are created using Word headers, but there are never any headers named "1". Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?
Hi All, I am a site super who uses BB mainly for document management. As such I created a Set(.bex) to combine the different divisions of my project for easy access. I don't change anything on any of the documents but each time I close down BB a window pops up asking if I want to save the changes made to my Set(.bex) file.…
Hi, I switched to Revu 21 earlier this year, from Revu 20. Since that time, the plugin and Revu print to the last saved folder rather than the source folder. This is very challenging when my workflow may include multiple folders/paths at a time, in a day or in a week. It causes me to place PDF's in odd places when I forget…
As I was preparing my response to @Troy DeGroot's post about custom line types I stumbled on to something that seemed odd. My original work with the custom line types was performed on my desktop at the office. When I opened the file from my laptop, I was surprised that the custom line styles that I had created weren't…
