If this is something that people are using is it possible to share some examples for inspiration?
@BTM When I worked in the field still, there were a couple ways that I would create a Dashboard type document in Bluebeam.
The fanciest is to make what Bluebeam calls a Digital Dashboard. Basically a fancy PDF with graphics that you link to resources/plans/files/sites/etc. You can link it all to a Studio Project where you keep files if you like.
I wold do it this way for a big project or one that was going to last a long time and needed a polished look.

I was usually too busy to make something fancy on a regular basis, so in those cases, I would just make a PDF with some instructions, maybe load a necessary Profile (.bpx) ot Teool Set (.btx) right into the PDF, add some text hyperlinks to the resources or to my Studio Project and then I would email it out, or attach it as a cover sheet in a Session, or load it as the first document anyone saw in my Studio Project. Way easier, but not as slick looking.
Oh yes, I made a sort of user's guide dashboard for my BB Project where we are hosting our conformed sets. It's been a big hit and a huge time saver. Those links provided above should give you all you need to know.
This is a great place and I am looking to set up a template for my teams projects. I am an architect, so this will be slightly different than on the construction end. Appreciate the links.
I've made several, and believe it or not, our Production Manager thinks they're a complete waste of time.
If you really want to have fun, create it first in PowerPoint, so much more design options, and then export to PDF. I think my favourite one is one that I designed in the Star Trek LCARS format.
I'd love to see the Star Trek one, that sounds awesome.
Holy crap this is awesome.
I love it! Mine were always more of the boring variety. Your Production Manager is mimissingssgin out man!
Doug this is sick! I have clearly been underutilizing power point to Revu for added pizzaz.
PowerPoint can do some really amazing things if you try. If you look at it closely, its set up for easy hyperlinking. The numbers on the left are actually Spec sections. The titles at the bottom is set up to match our Estimating folder structure, and a few key files. There's even a place for the date. The 548 is actually my employee number…lol Thank you both though
Just attended my first Tips & Tricks webinar earlier this week. It was great! Today I received an email from Stephanie with a link to watch an on-demand video. Unfortunately, I'm not able to visit the site (I receive an error message - see below)
Is there a tool which can apply a template to an existing PDF document? I can do it with the overlay tool, but its not efficient. I am currently specifically attempting to apply a letterhead to a PDF document without having to using snapshot, etc.
We were messing with settings now all the tools in my tool box are numbered and now I can't find the setting to get rid of the numbers next to the tools.
Long post for context: Yesterday I was trying to compare a revised architectural to realize that the floor plan has shifted in both the X and Y, so this morning I did a page snapshot. What I would like to know is, is there a way to snap to a point on the snapshot and move it to a point on the drawing?
In our work, we frequently need to compare floor plan drawings. Often, we have to compare older drawings from archives with very new and detailed ones. The scales of these drawings often differ — sometimes from 1:100 to 1:200, but more commonly with small variations of 1–5% at a detailed level. Our current workflow is as…
I found this support article, but I don't see the options shown in the screenshot to send to Cloud. At the bottom of the tool set menu I only see Manage Tool Sets, there's no Send Tool Sets to Bluebeam Cloud.
Hi I'm new here, joined to ask this questions. I started having an issue this week, where when I select the typewriter tool or text box nothing happens, pretty much rendering useless a big part of bluebeam for me. driving me nuts. Tried the basics, or re-opening, different files, restarting, different profiles, etc.…
I'm trying to figure out how "sets" works in Bluebeam to mark out the old documents and showing me the new changes in the addendums. when I create a set in Bluebeam and run it, they seem to be the same, but I can clearly see changes in design or whatever they are changing in the new addendums.
As an Org Admin user I have the ability to add users and delete users and assign the product, but is there a way to edit an existing user Contact Details? When I attempt to update a user's Contact Details everything is greyed out and will not let me make any changes.
I have added our org SharePoint to Bluebeam Cloud (website) and I can see folders as I would expect. When I add my org OneDrive account to Bluebeam Cloud I see OneDrive and PersonalCacheLibrary folders show, if I click on OneDrive, it says "Something went wrong. Please try again." Never works, and I opened a ticket and…
