There is a limited collection of already populated tool chest [.btx file] items? Or, do I have to create new? [Ex: Fans, equipment types, supply and return diffuser size arrays, etc, etc.]
@Kjones We offer a few premade Tool Sets that are available on the Bluebeam Website. There are a handful of mechanical sets available there. We don't make a ton of them, because we make it super easy to create your own… that fit your exact needs. consider ours as a starting point.

I would recommend getting comfy with the Snapshot tool in Bluebeam. If you already have plans or a vector PDF with the things that you would like to replicate, you can just Snapshot it, then use Color Processing if you want it to be a different color, and save it to a Tool Chest with a new Subject and you can use it over and over. You can make a whole reusable, shareable Tool Set in just a few minutes this way…. with whatever symbols/items you want.
Also, if you search around online, there are some people out there making custom Tool Sets and sharing them. Some are charging money, some offer some free ones. Check out Troy DeGroot's Resources at U Chapter 2, maybe he shared a free one that has what you need.
Ultimately, just making one that fits your exact needs is the best route and is super easy once you get the hang of Snapshot.
After the recent update, my search function does not work any more. I have tried my files including the ones I have successfully searched words in before the update. Is this a bug? How can it be fixed?
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?
I have plotted two drawings from AutoCAD to PDF (each a single page). When I open them separately in Bluebeam, their layers show up as expected. When I insert the second page into the same PDF as the first page, the layers are no longer showing for the second page. How do I get the layers to come along with the PDF when I…
Did a quick search and found nothing. Maybe I am missing it, but is there a way to customize right click menu? Thanks in advance…
New Year new problems😶 we are trying to setup our field iPads to use BlueBeam and are having issues.

What is this icon in Studio Session? How do I address it? Clear it?:
is Bluebeam going to add more tools to the cloud based app? such as stamp, measure/dimension and count.
My autofill descriptions list for the Count Subject has grown too big. When I begin to type in the Subject field of the "Count Measurement Properties" I get a list that is too big. I would like to clear this suggestion list. They are not "Subjects" that I have used in current PDF I am working on. They are the combined…
Hello, I received an email from Bluebeam stating that I was a part of their beta testing community. I have explored the new features, such as offset and markup conversion, but I haven't found the AI prompt capability. Is this available with BluebeamMax beta? I have paid subscriptions for Bluebeam (premium) and Claude.…
Hi all, I've recently been following the hype about working out of Bluebeam Sets as I'm looking for ways to streamline our workflow. I did have a question about viewing markups particularly when you are working with individual extracted drawing files as that seems like it gives you the best performance when working off of…
