I know we can ask users to open the .btx file. But is it possible to deploy the .btx file automatically or copy it to a folder?
Thanks.
There are a couple ways to do it. If you look at the deployment guide here:
Revu 21 Deployment Guide | Bluebeam Technical Support
Go toward the bottom and find "Deploying custom extensions via the Revu.exe command line"
From there you can see a couple different commands related to Tool Sets.
/btxadd: would let you set a path to a Tool Set on a shared network drive that all users point to. Revu knows to cache network tool sets locally for offline usage.
/btximport: causes the Tool Set to be copied locally for each user
@Peter Noyes btximport does the trick well! Thank you.
Are we able to reorder the user's tool sets? I would like to move the new ones to the top, or near the top.
There isn't a way to use those commands to reorder. That is a great suggestion.
I just noticed when I used btximport it added the toolsets to the user's current profile Tool Chest only. Is it possible to add the toolsets to all the profiles?
Also, where in the config does Revu track which profile is 'active' for a user?
Revu tracks the active profile in UserPreferences.xml in:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Bluebeam Software\Revu\21
See:
<Record Key="ProfileManager"> <Path>C:\Users\pnoyes\AppData\Roaming\Bluebeam Software\Revu\21\</Path> <Active>Quantity Takeoff</Active> </Record>
Using the above import command, there is unfortunately not a way to specify that it should be in all profiles.
The way that Revu knows that a Tool Set should be in all profiles, is by having it specified inside the UserPreferences.xml mentioned above instead of inside of the profile. A record looks like this:
<Record Key="ToolSetManager"> <ToolSet> <Path>Electrical.btx</Path> <Title>Electrical</Title> </ToolSet> </Record>
Thanks for the help. I was able to script adding the tool sets to the UserPreferences.xml ToolSet element so they all auto appear for all profiles.
I want to write a script to edit the .bpx profile configs so these custom Sets appear at the top of each tool chest. Hope I can find time.
In the past we were able to require fields to be filled out before an individual could save the form. Now, if I make a field required it only puts a red thick border around it. This allows individuals to skip a field and submit a form with missing information. It is driving me crazy. Someone please advise. Thank you! :)
I use custom stamps regularly and find panning up and down in the dropdown to be annoying since the icon to pan up or down is so small and when my pointer goes past it the drop down disappears, then I need to find my stamp again..! Please fix..
Hi Bluebeam Team and Community, I often use Dark Mode when reading long documents in Revu, as it’s much easier on my eyes. However, depending on the document content, I find myself frequently switching back and forth between Dark Mode and regular mode. Right now, I have to navigate through Revu > Preferences each time to…
Is there a way to disable the "(1 of XX)" part of the navigation bar? I manage pdf's that have page labels formatted "PID-xxx". The actual count of a page in the pdf, meaning the "(4 of 11)" part below, is irrelevant to our document structure. When navigating to a page, I use only the page label to get to it ("PID-869" in…
Hi Ive got a Chromebook which runs Linux operating system, therefore I cant open the exe. file to use Revu. Is there another download for Linux systems or can I only use cloud version which is pretty useless for what I need? Need help please
How do I save a 3d model tree with just the columns that I choose? I have tried saving as a new view and then saving the pdf but when I open the pdf again the 3d model tree has reset to its defaults. I would like to send the pdf out to my team and clients so that they are able to just open without the need to set anything…

I am currently doing takeoffs for trenching and I cant find a tool that will help me in one step. Is there a tool that I dont know of? Example a polyline tool with options to give it a depth a bottom width and top width for the sloped trenches. This tool would be a great help to calculate trench volumes.
I wanted to removed all markups in my pdf so when I open it to BB it will apply the profile that i save.
