Best Practices for Accurate Measurements and Material Takeoff in Bluebeam
Hi everyone, I’ve been working with Bluebeam Revu for different construction projects, and while it’s been a great tool overall, I still run into a few challenges that I’d like to improve on. For example, scaling drawings accurately can sometimes be tricky when dimensions aren’t clear, and managing markups across larger…
Find & Replace
Does anyone know if there is a quick way (or any way) to do a bulk 'Find & Replace' on a markup? For example, I have x number of yellow widgets on a markup but the specification changes and I need to replace all the yellow ones with red ones instead. I want to be able to tell Revu to find all the yellow widgets, delete…
Error message pops up in the middle of working with a Revu file
I have been having issue with my Bluebeam/Revu that prevents me from carrying on with my work. Sometimes when a file is open and in the middle of working with the file, the following message pops up (see snippet below), which locks me out of continuing the work and forcing me to "End program" and restart Revu again. This…
How to backup and restore the File Access Tab content with Recent Files and Categories?
Many of my customers organize their Recent Files into Categories. What is the best practice to get this handy piece of user settings across into a new Bluebeam setup? I used Ctrl+K > Admin > Backup / Restore, but the Recent Files content seems to be not in the UserPreferences.xml. Anyone here to tell me where it is and how…
Circle Tool?
I see that there is a ellipse tool, but is there an actual circle tool? If so, where is it?
Tool Count Legends. Total Count Legend vs Current Page Counts
I'm not sure how long ago this changed, but it was pretty recent…. I used to be able to make a legend from my tool counts per page by selecting the counts to be per the "current" page and then at the begining of the document on the cover page I could create a Master Legend with the Total Counts that had ALL the counts from…
How to track and keep revised sheets in combined PDF drawings.
Hi All, I have single PDFs of my Arch., Struc. and Civil drawings. I would like to Slip Sheet new revisions of individual sheets into these plans separately and still have access to the previous revision's sheets. Is this best done through Sets or is there another way. Sets seems to be used to combine single PDFs into…
Searching for Details
I would like to know if there is a way to search throughout a file or set to references a detail on a page? In other words, I want to do a reverse search from a fine detail, all the way up the drawings.
Adding page number when creating page labels
Is there a way to have an option to include the page number as a prefix when selecting a page region for label? Only ask for this because I often will create page labels based on page region but it would be nice to include a method of retaining the page number in the label for extraction as single sheets, the plans are in…
fixed position for tools in the toolchest
So , my question is that i'm noticing that the tools in the toolchest will automaticly rearange themselves in a surtain order. I believe only a few updates back this was not the case or a lot less. I could be mistaken as i,m still a relatively new user. Is it not possible to keep your tool in a surtain order and they dont…
