What's one Bluebeam Revu feature or tool you could talk for hours about?
Let's get a ton of comments going so we can have a Bluebeam Feature Show & Tell at our next USBUG meeting!
I use Bluebeam to do all conceptual drawings and markups. I can 'draft' an entire structural set in a few days, and put out a professional product that later takes my team more than a month to produce anything comparable using Revit. All you need are tools that have the same settings, blocks, patterns as your typical CAD/BIM standards, some background pdf files from other disciplines. Here are some examples:
Using Bluebeam for concept work and sketches is something I preach about endlessly. The time savings is immense for things that are dynamic and changing. It's easy to drop these into a session and collaborate in real time.
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
Hi Bluebeam Community, I recently purchased two vacant residential lots in El Sereno/South Pasadena area to build at least two small temporary homes for families displaced by recent wildfires. This project will provide safe, dignified housing while survivors rebuild their lives—but I need your help to make it happen! How…
Hi, We are new to BB and just starting to setup our templates, library etc. I have seen comments on using BB for punchlists and viewed on youtube but does BB have a learning page on how to set these up properly? We do large multi storey hotel projects and ideally want a live punchlist of sorts. Thanks for your help
I’m wanting to show a custom column identifier for each markup utilizing the count tool. Using the label properties this feature works for any measurement tool (area, length, radius etc…). However, it appears to be intended to work for the count tool, but the label only returns the «Custom Column» identifier. I'm attaching…
Export Comments in Revision Clouds to highlight mouse over in PDF. Revision Clouds have a comment parameter already and if populated an option to export that data for a mouse over highlights the note in comments for the contractor for extra info on the reason for the update hence the added cloud. Very useful way to share…
Hi Community, I have a large page count PDF overlay project comparing two drawing sets. The sets have jumbled the pages between them and I have to align pages to do the overlay. I don't want to do batch overlay as I need the layers to toggle, nor did that work anyway. My idea, is since I have to rearrange the pages to get…
Hi Team, Can properties like those available to edit bookmarks please be added to layers? For example, Bold, Italic and Highlight.
I have been using Revu to build quantity take-offs for construction estimates, I’m trying to clean up the organization and structure of the markups. I typically sort the markups by the subject, but I need to be able to re-sort the line items before I export the take-off. I can’t manually move items on the markup list up or…
Is there some reason why OCR works on some text in a drawing file and not other text? It looks to be the same font as other text on the drawing that OCR was successful in making searchable. Sorry I am unable to include a snip due to IP. Can anyone share their OCR settings? I've been using Bluebeam for years and still have…
