BB crashed and I had added/edited dozens of tools and when I logged back in many of the toolsets were not showing in my profile or in the toolset list (so not hidden). Any ideas?
And when I tried importing it said they already existed….
Have you shared your logs with Bluebeam support yet?
No, tried opening support and it wouldn't load.
Shot in the dark, but I noticed sometimes when I restart revu, it kicks me off my profile and resets me to default. Acts the way you describe. Try making sure the correct profile is set.
Thanks, I did. Restarted, logged out & in. All the usual "fixes" ;P
Between the profile and the support function not working, this might be a re-install situation. You can try going to the folder "C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Bluebeam Software\Revu\21". This is where all the toolsets are stored locally. You can manually delete them here, as well as the old profile and reload it, but I have a feeling you might run into this again. I am sure the suggestions from support will include wither reinstall, rebuild profile from scratch or both.
Yeah, was going to try a re-install. Fingers crossed. Keeps telling me they are already installed when I try to import, but they aren't showing up. Thanks.
I have run into this issue before. I can't explain why this happens on the backend, but it's because Bluebeam crashed and you did not close the program normally since adding the new toolsets. I believe there is some process that runs when you close Bluebeam that overwrites a configuration file with the latest list of Bluebeam toolsets to load. Since it crashed, it did not have the chance to overwrite the file with the new list, so it reverted to the last one before the crash. And the reason it said they already exist when you tried importing, is because they do physically already exist in your native bluebeam tool set folder - you added them there last time before the crash, but Bluebeam "forgot" since it could't rewrite the configuration file. That's my general understanding - may not be exactly technically correct. The way to avoid this problem is every time you add a new toolchest/toolset, make sure to close bluebeam normally because otherwise the next crash will cause the issue.
I've been trying to find anything related to this, but all I see is default tool 'settings' but I want to change the tool, not settings of the tool. The default selected now is the pan tool but my most used tool is the select text tool and when I open a new PDF or have multiple opened and then I close one, Revu will change…
Hello, I have used the Grab feature for years and it is one of my most frequently used tools. Recently, however, when I grab from one drawing and paste into another, the file size increases from around 1 MB to 2 GB. If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…
Hey, Is anyone know why Revu is crashing. I open it uplaod plans start measuring and it just crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have a very time sensitive project that I am doing and need it now and support is over 24hrs away. Any help be much appreciated. Thank you
When working on a file, Bluebeam will freeze then shut down. It's been happening quite frequently. Why is this happening?
As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color. Is there a way to change the icon to something like SW for sidewalk area? I have the measuring tools set up with custom labels and layers to facilitate review and quantity total…
Hello, Can I import Chets Tool Items from Excel. I've a list of items in Excel (number, description, m, m2, m3 of Pc) I've to measure. Can I import it to Tool Chest. Thanks.
Good afternoon, I want to create a Tool-Chest component in "Tool Chest" that automatically numbers, e.g., W001, W002, W003, W004, ... and measures the area. It should place this on the plan-view with number W001 and the area. And then also place this number W001 in the Marksup list so that the link between a specific wall…
Hello! Today when uploading a capture from a screenshot, the image sets at 3D, does anyone know how to make the capture images to set at 2D? Thanks in advance
Hi All, I want to send selected sheets from my drawing Set to a sub contractor. Is there a way to send just the sheets I select from the Sets window? Thanks Ahead, Ian
I am estimator and sometimes need a lot of back and forth between plan and sections/details. I am aware of can use ALT+ Arrow left to back my previous page. But, I would like to keep focusing my current drawings and open those links trough new tabs. I can do it when I use Microsoft Edge (when have opened the PDF drawings).…
