Inverse Color Processing Function

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Currently, Color Processing lets us select a color in the PDF and change it to another. However, it would be extremely helpful to have the inverse functionality: instead of choosing which color to change, we could select the color(s) we want to keep visible, while the rest become transparent (or another neutral color). This would dramatically speed up workflows when isolating elements for takeoff or estimation.

Building on the above, it would be fantastic to have customizable "color profiles" within a single PDF session. For example, we could quickly switch between a profile that displays only red pipes (hiding everything else), and another where only blue ducts are visible. This would allow us to rapidly toggle between different filtered views without reprocessing the file each time, making it much easier to work with complex, multi-layered drawings during takeoff.

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
