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😊
Hi all, I have recently updated to Bluebeam 21 and even though I can sign in ok with my login details, I have no functionality at all. I can only use as read only. There is no location to enter my subscription details like there was in Blubeam 18. I have contacted support twice now over the last week and no response.…
Hello. My name is Bill and I'm brand new to Revu. My apologies if this has already been discussed. I don't know enough yet to even know what to search for. I would like to know if it is possible to mark up a plan within Revu and then generate lists or reports of certain items. I would like two different types of mark-ups…
Is there a counting tool where i can just click click click while the numbers just appear? vs having to text box and manually type in numbers?
why do my mark ups disappear when I overly it on my new revised PDF?
Good afternoon, I've been having this issue with Bluebeam where after I take snapshot to make a custom tool chest item, the text in that item changes into symbols when I reopen Bluebeam. Attached is a snippet of said change. if this has been resolved before, I apologize. Please send me the link to the solution. this also…
How do you revise previous mark ups? I am unable to select and change any of them. I've tried unflattening and it doesn't work.
Is there a way to combine multiple Spaces? I often create several spaces that I’d like to merge into one. Bluebeam breaks up the counts by space, which is EXTREMELY USEFUL, but sometimes it gets in the way. For example, today I’m working on a project where I need to identify all areas that require Hospital Grade…
Can anyone knows how to solve this issue? I have tried relogging and also re installing the app, but it is still happening.
Could I use my ipad keyboard in conjunction with bluebeam for ipad? Trying to undo some action with Commad-Z but nothing seems to work. Please advise.
Hi everyone! Curious if anyone has run into this and maybe could help me understand the reasoning behind this issue. I'm using the area measurement tool for my takeoffs. For what I am doing I need to omit the walls which leads to a ton of controls points. Not always, but has been very noticeable today, is when using the…
