Could someone guide me on how to initiate and complete a Secondary Steel (For an Example: Bent Plate, Angles, CMU Wall Supports, Sill Angle….) project using Bluebeam? A video tutorial would be preferable for better understanding.
This isn't a complete answer, but we have worked with clients in steel on various things in the past. We don't have any videos or classes recorded that are specifically on steel, but you can check out our regular quantity takeoff courses to get a better idea of what you can create with measurements and custom columns to get you there. Don't forget that everyone with a seat in Revu has access to Bluebeam University, which has both self-paced courses and live training. Another recommendation I have for you is to check out the Revu Custom Libraries. There, you'll find a welding toolset and a structural steel profile that includes more specialized toolsets that may help you with this project.
@Gopi J , your best bet is to make your own toolset. it takes time to set up but will ultimately speed things up in the future. Especially if you do any work on older steel structures like bridges as many of the old WF beams or Tied-Arch built structures, rather than more up-to-date structures use different values. Mine looks like this ↓
Be sure to set the measurements "Depth" Values to ones that will work with what you are trying to do in the measurements Tab.
Good luck and Happy Bluebeaming!
You also might try checking out our next Workflow Talk: Steel Takeoff Kit on 7/17 from 3-4pm ET and talk to the Bluebeam consulting team about this topic, they might have some tips for you too!
I purchased Bluebeam. I'm co—owner of a small civil contractor. I'm multifaceted; project management, estimator, and sometimes superintendent. We bought Bluebeam for the following reason: "Systematically increase our ability to bid and win projects". Right now, it feels like there is too much to learn in Bluebeam. What are…
I have some custom tool sets that recently have been showing these small numerical boxes. See attached. Not sure how they showed or how to get rid of them. Please help
Does anyone know why no recent files are showing up in my file access after updating this morning?
I am new to my role and position. I am having to use templates that were already made by a previous employee who is no longer with the company. The templates must be locked in some kind of way because editing is impossible/limited. SOS. (i am too new/inexperienced to make new templates). The templates are of roof details…
Hello, I've read a few forums on here with the same issue. I'm using an M3 MacBook pro with parallels and windows 11 installed. When I open Revu 21 the sign in screen is blank but I some of the buttons work, seems like they are just invisible. I was able to sign in by guessing where the text box is and the sign in button,…
One of my co-workers cannot get the sign in button to work at all, flashes for a second then goes back to "Sign in". Tried switching / resetting profiles, restarting. Really trying to avoid re-install.
Since the last update of Bluebeam every time I use the Overlay tool it tries to compare all the pages of the first document with the current page of the second document. This results in an error message. I can manually change the page selection to current and the overlay will work but this gets tedious when doing overlays…
Good Day Bugs-We recently changed from Adobe to BB. I needed to reduce a large size pdf. It seemed easy to do, and was happy to see I could do multiple files at once. However, the files are still too large to email. 15-30mb. I have tried reducing again, moved the quality slider in the output options box and it still only…
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…
