How can i take-off materials quicker using blue beam. I normally see autocad PDF's. Ive tried exporting the comments but i would need to build a formula. Very time consuming.
Building toolsets in Bluebeam can be a tedious process but is very powerful with custom columns. What industry are you in? I'm in structural steel and we've built out some pretty powerful tools and workflows.
Depends on the Takeoff markup you are using, what Materials are you taking off?
Creating a Tool Set for Each item that needs counting.
Using Ctrl + Shift to Copy and Paste Helps, also Copy Multiple Helps.
Another option is Grouping Objects if Taking off Multiple different Material Types.
After Takeoff is Complete, using a CSV File Export to Excel and consolidate data…
I'm trying to find a quicker way to consolidate the BOM on a isometric drawing that list bolts, gaskets, and etc. I did build take-offs with custom columns. I tried to use excel to extract the data from a OCR PDF Sheet but it will take a lot of time to try to edit and produce formula
I'm in industrial. So, I see a lot of piping iso's, steel and civil drawings. I start building the custom columns and it's working better. My other question will be.
How much data I put in for specs on custom columns can it handle
Generally Speaking, the more you use Bluebeam the quicker and more efficient you'll naturally become at using it however a great place to start is understanding the toolbox functions. I'm in Roofing & Cladding and we have a number of different toolboxes for the various roofing & cladding build-ups we offer as a business. Understanding the full use of the take-off functions is also very beneficial.
Hello I'm trying to scale this drawing with the top measurement. It needs a . after the 13, separating the millimeters, put Blue beam does not allow it
Hi All, I am using Civil 3D 2024 and have installed the Autocad Plugin but when I click on "Create PDF" it does nothing. The only button out of the 4 that does work is the "Change Settings" button. We are on REVU 21 Complete. Does anyone know why? Thanks
How do I add a new toolset?
Where do I change the current , at decimals, to a .
I would like to remove and save approx. 10 pdfs from a studio session to condense the list to the most current files. The process of deleting individual files and saving a local copy is rather tedious. Is there a way to streamline the process?
BB crashed and I had added/edited dozens of tools and when I logged back in many of the toolsets were not showing in my profile or in the toolset list (so not hidden). Any ideas? And when I tried importing it said they already existed….
Curious if others have experienced this error when trying to PDF from the Bluebeam Add-in within Word and if you have any fixes: Version: 21.6.1 Operating System: Windows 10
I am struggling with converting certain tables and/or bid tabs from PDF into Excel. I have tried the entire document and just the page region, but when I export the data, the formatting is all screwed up. I can't seem to get the tables to import neatly. Any suggestions?
Hi. I've been banging my head against this one for a long time and it seems to be an intended feature. For all of my measurement markups, it seems like I can't add or modify comments. It will only prepopulate the comments field based on what I select to show in caption under properties. In practice what this means for me…
I'm working on a workflow in Bluebeam Revu where I need to tally items in multiples of 3, even though all materials are ultimately ordered in single units. The challenge is that many items I mark up are typically grouped in threes — for example, a single instance on the drawing represents three units of material. I want to…
