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!
Thankyou so much Ashley Cox. i will try your recommendations.
Thank you so much James😊
Is there any work-around to no keyboard shortcut for exporting a page region to Excel? I have made several (unsuccessful) attempts to figure out a way to pin this function to a toolbar, but this does not seem possible either. Is there a feature that I don't know about that will allow me to simply add this shortcut, or add…
The session was accidentally terminated due to participant error, and now we cannot access the PDF data that was inside the session. Is there any way to restore the deleted session or recover the markup data from the PDFs that were in the session?…

The Microsoft trend is to have scroll bars become narrow or invisible when you're not hovered over them, but that removes valuable "place" info and makes it harder to click onto the bar to drag it, and the space freed up by the missing scroll bar isn't used for additional viewing real estate - it's just wasted space that…

For no known reason my BB has become excruciatingly slow. It makes no difference as to what file I open, if it has text only, vector line, images, if it is a single page or many, the program is now so slow that it takes 30+ seconds just to display the file's first page upon opening it. A click to change pages on a 3 page…
Anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Had IT clean up my files yesterday, but the problem has returned today.
I have a set of plans w mutiple pages. the person who created the plans did not have it set up to link the details to the sheet the detail is on. the details symbols look like that which i attached. I have tried to follow the BB instructions, watch videos, read google questions all to no avail. Some info out there…
I may be missing something but with this new update. for some reason or other I cannot keep my custom columns for every PDF. I have to continually input them in.
This morning, I created a set and I have my set setting in the photo, but my markups are not transferring to the revised sheets. How do I get the set to reprocess?
