Revu 21.6.0 is here! 🎉
📅 Release date: June 3, 2025

Get ready for smoother workflows, smarter tools, and even more control.

Here's what's new and improved:

🖊️ Markups on Capture
Now you can mark up directly on embedded images—because sometimes words aren’t enough, and arrows say it best.

💻 ARM-based Windows? We got you.
Full support for ARM processors means Revu runs faster, lighter, and cooler on the latest tech.

🧰 Tool Chest, Supercharged

Manage Tool Sets like a boss
New Punch Key options
Multi-select & drag-and-drop markups
Cleaner, smarter Detail mode

🔐 Smoother Sign-In
Logging in through Microsoft Edge WebView2 just got faster and more reliable. Bye-bye, login hiccups!

🧱 2026 Autodesk Plugin Support
Compatible with AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks 2026. Staying ahead of the curve so you don’t have to.

🛠️ Fixes & Fine-Tuning

We squashed some bugs and polished the edges:

Visual trails appeared along the cursor path when using a custom count from a Snapshot on a rotated document.
Column data was incorrectly written to the Tool Set when reused.
Disappearing comments in Properties mode
Customized "My Tools" Toolbar missing after closing/reopening Revu
Image markups from custom toolset randomly became invasible after placement

Hi, Thank you for the great news of the Revu 21.6!

Angela Aff

Of course, @Yanming Zhang!

Kyle Sullivan

Can you provide additional information on the toolbox updates? I'm having trouble finding the updates.

Brandon Costlow

I don't think the updates are working. I've talked to several others on my team, and none of them have the tool chest or the markup capture updates.

Shawn

I am no longer able to edit the percentage/scale that my hatch patterns appear after updating today, the tool bar is gone. I went through the what's new tab and there is no mention of new functions related to hatch patterns.

I'm attaching a photo for reference. The hatch pattern is selected on the left and there used to be a toolbar at the top of my screen where I could edit the percentage/scale the pattern is shown at and it is no longer there. (I am not referring to the opacity percentage settings.)

Can you please let me know where to access this information as I cannot edit any of my tile drawings until I have this function back?

Angela Aff

Hi @Kyle Sullivan, @Brandon Costlow , and @Shawn - thanks for replying. I personally don't have an answer for you, but I've shared these comments with the team internally so once I know, you'll know!

Hi BB Team, Thank you for rolling out 21.6. But can you please create a short video showing off the new features. The reason why, is I am unable to determine how to perfrom the "Markups on Capture", and what exactly are the improved Detail Mode enhancements. Thx.. Looking forward to new improved tools. BTW LOVE the settings to hide comments in the Tool Sets. YAY!

BLassa

Anyone having an issue with the update completely making BB unusable? A coworker of mine goes to open PDFs and BB just freezes now. We've tried a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is still doing it. Her BB was fine before the update. Update works great on my pc.

It appears the update has been removed and is no longer available for download.

Hi all,

Following the release of Revu 21.6 yesterday, we identified a licensing issue affecting a subset of users. As a result, we have rolled back the 21.6 update and restored the download links for Revu 21.5.

We are actively working on a fix and will redeploy Revu 21.6 after further development and testing. In the meantime, if you are experiencing issues, we recommend reverting to Revu 21.5.

If you need assistance, please contact our Support team at support@bluebeam.com.

We will provide updates and timelines for the Revu 21.6 update here as soon as they are available.

Luke

Just an FYI, 21.6 works great on my end.

Vince Fitter

How do you revert back to the 21.5 version as it has messed up some of the stuff I use since I downloaded 21.6, do you have a link you could share?

Luke Prescott

Hi Vince,
