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.
About 4/5ths of the way through the 21.8 MSI installation, a Custom Action named Call_LaunchShellExplorer is trying to open a .bat in such a way that Windows is prompting the user to select which program to use to open it. For now, we have simply added a transform to prevent that CA from executing. Has anyone else seen…
Recently, when drawing lines, polylines, the linework on screen is extremely thick. Does not match the default line thickness, just really thick, rasterized lines. Then when the command/lines is finished, the line changes down to the correct line width. Is there a setting to fix this glitch?
Hello all, I've been searching around trying to figure out if this was possible but have had no success. I'm wondering if it's possible to take 2 or more exhibits and combine them along the matchlines 'WITHOUT' snapshot. Snapshot essentially turns it into an image. My intent is to retain the attributes of the original .pdf…
this change from Bluebeam for iPad to Bluebeam cloud just made the program useless. When we are in the field, attaching a photo to a markup was 80% of the point, so when exporting a summary, the photo would be with the callout. How is this most-used feature gone? I am just now finding this out at 1am and have to travel in…
I have installed Bluebeam on a new laptop. Trying to read pdf files is not happening. Thumbnails show up but main window is either gibberish or blank. Have shutdown and then restarted and deinstalled and reinstalled to no effect. Repeated attempts to access Bluebeam result in laptop freezing and need to hard shutdown to…
Hi all, I have many tools showing as disabled & can't do my take offs. This includeds my tools in my tool chests. Any suggestions before I cry?
The rectangle function will allow a colored fill to be used, as will the ellipse function. Is there a way to "fill" an area that is defined by a polyline?
I've created a dynamic fill of an area on a PDF, and am unable to delete it; even using the Dynamic Fill option to "Clear All", "Clear Fill". How can I delete/erase this dynamic fill?
When I add digital signatures, the window doesn't close after I'm done. It doesn't freeze. I cannot change locations on the document. It will stay open and let me repeat the exact process but never closes. I have to go to Task Manager and close Revu. Any thoughts? Thanks,
I recently upgraded my bluebeam from Core to complete. now my interface is on view mode, i have tried to comeback to markup mode but can not fine the markup mode please i need assistance.
