New Method to Draw Curves (Using Perimeter Tool)

Joshua Laidler · 2025-06-19T08:19:45+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I know this might seem like a slightly Niche idea, however, when marking up a drawing using the perimeter tool - converting lines to arcs is slightly time consuming in my opinion. An alternative method of drawing curves would be to create multiple control points forming the curve - once again quite time consuming.

My Idea would be to see if there's a way to allow the perimeter tool to mark-up in a similar fashion to how the highlighter tool marks up when the user holds down left click? I would have thought this would make marking up using this tool much more efficient.

Thanks

I agree. They could simply add a poly arc drawing tool and apply that to a lot of other tools. In my opinion, Bluebeam has stagnated on the innovation side. Features users have wanted since 2018 are not integrated (ie options to loosen restrictions in BB sessions and collaborate without being stuck with someone else's markups)

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. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
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…
