Feature Request: Add Area to Properties Panel

nflowers · 2025-06-18T22:28:59+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

It's pretty simple. It seems pretty intuitive. There should be a field under properties that displays the enclosed area of the selected polygon. If the scale is set, that field should display the scaled area of the polygon. We shouldn't have to retrace existing polygons to calculate area. Please, and thank you.

A value-add would be selecting multiple polygons adds area values of all selected.

Yes please!!!! I was about to post a related idea. Once scale is set, why not display scaled properties alongside the drawing units? (i.e. for the properties this makes sense: area, width, height, line width) I know this isn't what BB Revu was intended for, but we frequently use Revu to sketch Engineering concept drawing overlays because the markup drawing tools are good and we can set a scale. The rather annoying part is that if we need a certain radius circle, like 3m, or certain line thickness like 12", we have to manually create a dim that is roughly that size and then drawing the circle / tweak the line thickness until it roughly matches. It would be so much faster if we could just type in the property directly … 12" line width.

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers.

Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
