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 have a client who is trying to mark up a set but is running into a situation where they can't add markups after a specific page. The prior pages are fine, but past the specific page they can't add any more. They are the only user who is having this issue, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Have I missed a…
Hi, support for PDF/A and all the different versions 1,2,3, a,b,u is not very common among all the different pdf-software out there. However all the more important is to have a good implementation and support for PDF/A in our best pdf-software Bluebeam-Revu and we actually need it very urgently. But PDF/A is just…
初めて投稿いたします。 BluebeamRevuの社内導入を、主に積算業務にて検討しているのですが 「こんなタブレットを使っている」「この大きさのモニターを使っている」等の 他社様がどのような環境で使用されているかをお聞きしたいです。 現在弊社では現状ノートPC1台と24インチのモニターで、 モニターの大きさを変えるかiPadの導入等を考えております よろしくお願いいたします。

If I put text on a page (text box or typewriter) and then use the Edit Action command to make a jump to another page, it will put a lightning bolt under the bottom right corner of the text box. Is there a way to make the lightning bolt to the right of the text? I have issues when I have the text in a list format the…
It seems sometime in Dec 2025 the invites sent out from the BB Session no longer has the name of the document in the session invite. We use to see "You've been invited to Studio Session (name of session)" all we now see is "You've been invited to Studio Session" the name is no longer shown. Is this a preference? or has…
I use it a lot and would like to have it open at all times for quicker access. Even a keyboard shortcut would be nice, if there is one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -Wes s
We generate PDF draft reports that are reviewed and marked up with traditional clouds, highlights and text boxes. The reviewer compares marked up Draft #1 to the updated Draft #2. Normally, the reviewer would split the view and use synchronize views between the documents. Does Bluebeam Revu have a system where it checks…

Cloud and Cloud+ color fills only are changing from 10% to solid. First noticed in a Studio session. When selected, the solid fill reads as 10% in toolbar and properties panel. If bumped up or down, it resets to 10%. The solid fills return after closing, leaving, logging out for all users. Comments exported and imported…
