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’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…
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?
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…
It would be nice to have a tool that would (assuming both the X and Y axises are the same scale) calculate scale from a known area on the set of plans. I have had two sets of schematic drawings come across my desk in the last month alone, that did not have the correct scale and did not have any labeled linear dimensions,…
Just wondering if anyone else has had this error message pop up in the last few days?
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!
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
Hi I’m new to Bluebeam so quite raw, I’ve inherited somebody else’s toolbox, and I’m not allowed to change the items within the toolbox (company policy), so my reason for writing is within my toolbox there are lots of rectangles which I can’t rotate to line up with diagonal lines on my drawing templates i.e. school…
I noticed that starting on 12/16 the invitation emails from BB for a Session no longer show the full Session title. They have always come in showing this example: You've been invited to Studio Session BP25-1257 Review 2 As of 12/16 the subject line is only showing this: You've been invited to a Studio Session Is everyone…
Not sure if this is a bug. We are Fire Risk Assessors so are often need to either colour in a wall or change the colour of a door on floor plans. We also have to draw lines to show the length of a certain route. Here's what I've noticed: 1 = The fill colour choices for a Polygon are not the same as the Change Colour…
