In Revu Complete, there is an option to use Live Link to link measurements with cells in Excel. Here is a LINK to a YouTube clip that shows this feature. Bluebeam also lets you customise your linetypes for Markups and Measurements. Here is a LINK to Custom Linetypes. My tip is to create a ToolSet of at least 80% of all the measurements that you will need. If you are going to link Bluebeam to Excel, you need consistent, "clean" data.
Now linking from Bluebeam is great, I have made and seen some great workflows, just note that you will need to map all the data variations in Bluebeam to a single cell in Excel. So if you have 5 markups, with 3 variations thats 15 mapped links. If these have another 2 levels of options, say another 5 and then 3 that 5x3x2x5=150 mapped links. At some point you may prefer to use Export to .csv and review the data in Excel another way. You have some experimentation to do, but the work is worth it. Good luck.

My office is exploring the idea of getting all of my project observers an iPad with cellular data so that they can have Bluebeam Studio (or rather Bluebeam Cloud) at all times. Should…

Our IT department has been slowly upgrading our users to Windows 11. A few of our users have been experiencing really bad lag with creating, moving, modifying markups. This happens both in Session and with locally saved files. It seems to only be happening to our users with virtual/cloud computers. Specifically, we use…
What is up with the invisible text while editing a markup? This has been a recurring and persistent phenomenon that has remained through several updates of the BB subscription, over perhaps the last year. I create a markup with text, I double-click to edit said text and it becomes INVISIBLE (but is still there). I click…
Hi All, I accidentally added a layer at the end of the long list of existing layers. Has anyone found a way to reorder the layer list? I would also like to hide one of the layers I created by default and open it only when I need it. Is this possible? Thank you ahead, Ian
Here is my issue folks - clicking on a web link in a document does not open in the default browser, but in one of my other installed browsers. This behavior is experienced only with Bluebeam and one Trimble software, the rest of my installed applications obey my default browser setting. Has anyone encountered such issue…
I have recently upgraded to Revu 21 but the markup tools are greyed out so i am unable to use them. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be?
I used to know I two-key keyboard shortcut to re-size a cloud mark-up to more closely fit the text block it surrounds. I have forgotten it and can't find any information on it online. Can anyone help? Thanks
I'm trying to create a form that requires both signatures and initials. However, I can't seem to find a way to format the field for just initials. Is there a better way to do this other than using a text box?
