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.
Good Afternoon, I am new to Bluebeam. I downloaded the program and can utilize it minimally. Separately (and a month after downloading Bluebeam), my employer added me to their subscription. Adding me hasn't seemed to also add the functionality that others have access to. Does anyone know how to somehow link my current…
For some reason, I am not signed in utilizing Revu. I click the sign in button and nothing happens. If I click it quick enough, it actually will show my username for a split second and then goes back to "Sign In". I am unable to find anything. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I noticed this issue prior to upgrading…
Good morning, I logged a ticket with support but no response yet. I cleared the registry by doing a complete uninstall of all previous versions and used the Bluebeam Cleaner Utility (but that only goes back to 21.0.3. I also ran the latest download as an administrator yet the only thing that installs is OCR and when it…
I'm having trouble stopping speech bubbles appearing beside custom symbols I've created and saved to my toolbox. These don't appear when others open the file however. Any tips on how to stop these appearing please? thanks in advance Joel PS I'm trying to attach an image but keep getting a permission error?
Hey Brains Trust, Using spaces for Takeoff. When I mark the space on a GA Drawings and copy / paste to an Elec drawing the space rotates as shown in the pics… What causes this and is there a way to stop this happening? There is no option to rotate this and its doubling work.
Ever since the (fairly) recent server "upgrade" I get disconnected from the Bluebeam servers several times a day and it's an annoyance. Is everyone else in the US having a similar experience? I came here just to post the item above, so that's the main issue I want to resolve. But it was even more annoying just getting to…
I have been using Revu to build quantity take-offs for construction estimates, I’m trying to clean up the organization and structure of the markups. I typically sort the markups by the subject, but I need to be able to re-sort the line items before I export the take-off. I can’t manually move items on the markup list up or…
is there a way to create page labels for a drawing set (ie 60-100+ pages), and then also add page numbering for sequential order (ie # prefix in front of custom page label)? it seems you can do one or the other, but not both?
In the existing Studio Project, I want to reorganize the folders without downloading them to my local drive and then uploading them back to the Studio Project. If I do that, I will lose the history of changes made to the set of drawings. Is there a way to move the folders within the Studio Project?
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
