This was an interesting conversation. I think our current Bluebeam Community shows this diversity of career options pretty well. Bluebeam is certainly NOT a one-trick pony. My dad was a concrete finisher for about 30 years and told me to stay far away from construction. He told me to get a degree and find a good desk job. Well, I got the degree and a good desk job… in the construction industry. I hope he isn't disappointed in me. I actually tried to stay clear. I joined the Army, went to college for about 10 years (only one degree to show for it though), and married a city girl. I thought I'd never need to deal with the trades. Well, I don't recall exactly what got me here (probably the COVID lockdowns), but I couldn't be happier, and Revu is one of my all time favorite programs to work with. As for the Mean Tweets… that was pretty funny. I love when total strangers say things like "this is the worst thing ever 0/10". They give no support to the claim and expect other strangers on the internet to just take their word for it. lol
What a great story. I've been really thinking that we need to get more of these kind of stories into the podcast in the future, I like to hear people's "origin stories". Also I was a bit worried that the mean tweets thing might come off as me not taking feedback seriously. My whole job is bascially listening to people complain about Bluebeam and I want them to know that it IS important to me to understand what's going on and to try to find solutions and fixes. But it was fun to just joke around with Luke, so I think it came off in a light hearted way. Next episode is coming out soon, so stay tuned as they say!
Great to hear Stephanie's and Luke's origin stories. It was quite an entertaining and informative episode to listen and watch. Nice work team!! I had to laugh when Stephanie mentioned doing door takeoffs as this is a big part of my job today being a doors and hardware subcontractor. Looking forward to watching episode 2 :).
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.
Good Morning Has anyone successfully imported their take-off from Bluebeam via excel into Trimble Contract Master Estimation software and have you managed to link an item in that take off to your database item?
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,…
Is it possible to extract data from multiple pre-defined locations on hundreds of scanned PDF's and extract/export to excel? Scanned pdf's would have same form and locations of information. I have been able to extract all of information on pages (creates mess) but no way to capture just certain fields/locations?

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…
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…
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
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,…
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…
