hello I'm new here. I am needing to use this program to find the square footage and the baseboard perimeter of a project that I'm bidding on and I have no idea how to add it to the app or how to make it work. Can somebody please help me?
Do you have a screen shot of what you're trying to accomplish? Might I suggest watching a few videos at Bluebeam University first before you start getting into using the software. It'll help
@HollyTalbot , switch your left side panel to thumbnail views, then right click on each plan you are working with and set the scale. Hopefully they are one of the PRESETs that are typical architectural scale settings, otherwise, you can use the CALIBRATE command (second one in the pic below). Once you have scale set, all these icons will provide measurements and values for your takeoff. Examples are the POLYLINE and the POLYGON that will give area and perimeter.
Follow these links to get started after setting the scale. Area tool: https://support.bluebeam.com/online-help/revu20//Content/RevuHelp/Menus/Tools/Measure/Area--MTV.htm Perimeter tool (Core and above): https://support.bluebeam.com/online-help/revu20/Content/RevuHelp/Menus/Tools/Measure/Perimeter--MTV.htm
The area tool will actually accomplish both. While the Area tool's primary measurement is Area, it gives other dimensions as well.
The Length of an Area markups is actually the Perimeter, plus it also will give you a height and a width.(just remember that the height will always be on the y axis and the width will always be on the x axis)
As you can see, if you set up your markups list properly, you can actually achieve both of your goals with one markup.
I had a number of instances where I would do counts on say fire doors and separate count common doors single separate common doors double and later find that Bluebeam has added them all together as 1 type. Seems to be when using the same shape and colour for the count. This could be expensive exercise if not picked up over…
How can I increase the size of Fonts in the menu, tabs and expecially in the index to documents?
Sometimes when I upload a PDF, it turns blue when i try to create a measurement, and will not allow me to get and quantities. What is causing this
Is there and adjustment to make BB fonts larger?
When I am creating a callout, is there a way for the text box to auto size to the text that I type in? See below
Kann man ein verwendetes Markup mit hinterlegten Parametern auf einem Plan anwählen und dieses mit allen Parametern wiederverwenden, ohne dieses im Tool-Chest zu speichern oder als Standard festzulegen?
Hi, Wondering if anyone has had success/if it's possible to import plain text FDF files into Bluebeam Revu? All FDF files of markups that I've exported are in binary/encoded format, and hence are unable to be altered (e.g. the coordinated of the markups), which is what I'm trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly…
Hi, I'm a new Bluebeam user. I am having issues with the way BlueBeam reads PDFs that I have generated from ArcPro. I have looked up and found that I need to check the box that says 'Remove layout background', along with when I go to print make sure the Advance printing settings says 'Image'. I've been making maps with…
I pick Edit > PDF Content > Erase Content Won't easer the W Pick more then the W its gone.
Since I updated to version 2.6.1 I cannot see any pdf pages now. Document opens and title shows in tab, but cannot see any pages - anyone else have this problem?
