Great idea (it can be hard to select an object from crowded areas) but this has been really badly implemented unfortunately. The pop up crowds the area around the cursor and often obscures either the control point or the place where you want to drag the control point to.
See below where the control point is obscured by the pop up:
If you hold shift while moving a control point and you release it next to the pop up, the control point often isn't adjusted but does leave a black line behind which disappears once you press esc. This means you are limited in where you can adjust a control point. See the image below where the control point can no longer be adjusted.
Please please please give us the option to turn off features like this!
Hey @Andrew Shields,
I went ahead and split and moved your post for visibility. Thanks for providing screenshots!
You can turn off Selection Cycle in the Preferences menu. It's just a radio button you can toggle on/off.
I find the feature useless for my workflow, and it was easy to disable. That said, even if I did use it, the feature was pretty annoying how it covered the area where you were immediately working. Just a really bizarre feature with even more bizarre UI.
@bwiginton Thank you!!!
Yeah, it could be implemented a little better I suppose.
It's pretty easy to work around though. Zoom-in/out to adjust the placement of the pop-up in relation to your markup. You can hold shift while scrolling to zoom (even if you have to hold ctrl as well because you're in continuous mode).
I'm happy to see that there is a way to disable this new feature because it is a bit clunky. It would be nice if you didn't have to go in to preferences to turn it on and off. Maybe just adding an option to turn it on and off easily like the "snap to content", "snap to grid" etc.
I would love it if I was able to rebind the key from shift to something else. The feature has been useful the few times I've needed it, but It otherwise gets so much in the way that I just cant justify keeping it enabled
@STR - Kristin - I can see it going either way. Storing certain options away in preferences is helpful. Like switching on/off the cursor crosshairs or changing from dark theme to light theme. It could be useful being right in the Interface, but there comes a point where it's just too much going on to be productive. I think that the fact that the feature can be a sensory overload issue anyways makes it good to be stored away in preferences. I certainly agree with making it something we can turn on/off though. Definitely a good call on Bluebeam's part, IMO.
@M1ndstorms - That would be cool, but are there any other customizable key bindings that are held down? I think it's not really in the cards with the way the program functions.
Hi folks, This question came in from a sales associate. Has anyone found a way for Bluebeam v 21 to sign the user when the desktop app is closed? It's not a native capability according to Bluebeam Support website but it kind of sounds like a script can be created for this. Thank you for looking. Vinnie
What's up community?! I am struggling with an efficient procedure to create bookmarks in bluebeam. I know how to create bookmarks and parent/child formatting. I want to know if it is possible to write a script or if a default method exists to have bluebeam create a parent bookmark such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing,…
Anyone have issues with the ability to organize there layers? Mine is freezing up and not allowing to be organized? I can still add new layers, but I am not able to move them around and organize them into groups.
I purchased Bluebeam. I'm co—owner of a small civil contractor. I'm multifaceted; project management, estimator, and sometimes superintendent. We bought Bluebeam for the following reason: "Systematically increase our ability to bid and win projects". Right now, it feels like there is too much to learn in Bluebeam. What are…
I have some custom tool sets that recently have been showing these small numerical boxes. See attached. Not sure how they showed or how to get rid of them. Please help
Does anyone know why no recent files are showing up in my file access after updating this morning?
I am new to my role and position. I am having to use templates that were already made by a previous employee who is no longer with the company. The templates must be locked in some kind of way because editing is impossible/limited. SOS. (i am too new/inexperienced to make new templates). The templates are of roof details…
Could someone guide me on how to initiate and complete a Secondary Steel (For an Example: Bent Plate, Angles, CMU Wall Supports, Sill Angle….) project using Bluebeam? A video tutorial would be preferable for better understanding.
Hello, I've read a few forums on here with the same issue. I'm using an M3 MacBook pro with parallels and windows 11 installed. When I open Revu 21 the sign in screen is blank but I some of the buttons work, seems like they are just invisible. I was able to sign in by guessing where the text box is and the sign in button,…
One of my co-workers cannot get the sign in button to work at all, flashes for a second then goes back to "Sign in". Tried switching / resetting profiles, restarting. Really trying to avoid re-install.
