Markup List filter section is grey even on the bluebeam test document

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi everyone,

It's my first time posting and I just started using the markup list for reporting, but I'm running into issues in Revu 21.6.

1)Exporting Non-Comment Text: A Markup Summary report includes text from the drawing that is not a comment. I presumed this happens because the text is editable? The goal is to filter out the standard text and include only added comments. However, I tried to go around this issue with the filter option but also ran into issues.

2)Filtering Issue: The filter option in the Markup List is grey and not available. This occurs even with the Bluebeam floor plan tester drawing. It is not a Studio Session, and markups can be added to the document.

Has anyone encountered either of these problems, and if so, how were they resolved?
Any suggestions are welcome.

What version are you running? Filtering the Markups list if only available in Complete.

I'm using Revu 21.6 Bluebeam Revu x64 Complete.

this is new.
Without actually seeing this this could be tricky.

Regarding #1, have you deleted "Layers"?

trina.croll

The filter list above will not let me change any of the information. I haven't touched the layers, this sample drawing is under the Welcome to Revu. The same thing happens for all drawings I open.

Do you have any active filters? Clicking "All" above the desired column will give you your choices.

That's very strange. It's like you don't have the correct permissions, which doesn't make sense. Is this happening to anyone else in your office

You may have to submit a ticket and/or reinstall Bluebeam Revu.

Reinstalled and working fine now. I appreciate everyone trying to help!

Reorder layers and hiding layers on opening a file.
