I have a black PDF piping diagram and want to colour all the different types of pipes. Eg potable water = Blue, RO water = red, Sewer = green. How do I do this please.
I think I need some more information to answer that. can you provide a screen shot?
@Deano, If I understand correctly, it seems like you have a drawing with the piping diagrams already laid out, in black. What you are looking to do is change the colors of some lines to reflect your schedule.
The easiest way is to simply draw over those lines using the polyline tool, with the correct color. See sample below.
If you want to get fancier, you can also use "line styles" to include text on the line.
That's just what I wanted Shaya. I have only just downloaded the program so now I need to find the polyline tool and have a play.
@Deano, WELCOME!
This may help you find the polyline tool…

Legend thanks.
Just wondering what everyone is using in the field other than an IPad? Any Galaxy Tab, etc. users out there? If so, have you got any feedback?
The rectangle function will allow a colored fill to be used, as will the ellipse function. Is there a way to "fill" an area that is defined by a polyline?
I’m using Bluebeam Revu 21.8 – Complete and trying to streamline navigation in a drawing set. My goal is to auto-create hyperlinks from callouts (e.g. 5/A401) that jump directly to the referenced detail viewport, not just to the destination sheet as a whole. I understand that Bluebeam can create page-to-page links, but I’m…
I wish we had subcategories under Toolchest. I have made tools for every category of plumbing using the Norwegian standard for naming them. But I wish there were subcategories for that as well. There are a lot of tools to create. I have also made my own linestyle for every one of the pipe tools. It have been easier if I…
this change from Bluebeam for iPad to Bluebeam cloud just made the program useless. When we are in the field, attaching a photo to a markup was 80% of the point, so when exporting a summary, the photo would be with the callout. How is this most-used feature gone? I am just now finding this out at 1am and have to travel in…
New Year new problems😶 we are trying to setup our field iPads to use BlueBeam and are having issues. BB Support indicate the iPad app is no longer supported as of Dec 2025 and to use the web portal app.bluebeam.com, when we enter the web portal address in the iPad browser it directs us to download the mobile app. What is…
Is there an option or way to disable the feature that allows a double left click to prompt the area box that allows you to zoom?
What is the schedule for enabling Cloud to allow batch stamping and signing of pdfs along with digital signatures as is available in Revu on Windows? It would be most helpful to be able to access, stamp, and sign drawings on an ipad instead of carrying laptops.
Good afternoon, I'm dealing with plans where every page is a differant scale. When I switch the scale on a differant page, it changes qunatities for all pages. I tried using viewports but it won't show me the total rollup on the bottom of the whole project. Any ideas? Thank you!
Just wondering if anyone else has had this error message pop up in the last few days?
