the link to the Academic Home page isn't working.

Should this also not be made available to registered apprentices, especially those in the building trades?
The wording was a little vague.

Thanks for highlighting that, @Doug McLean! We've fixed the link now so it works.

And yes, good question about apprentices. We definite "students" pretty broadly in the context of our academic program, so we welcome those in university programs, as well as high schools, trade schools, community colleges, technical schools, and registered apprenticeships. The goal is to make sure those who will one day use Bluebeam in the field have the opportunity to take advantage of it while they're still studying.

that's perfect @Sarah Parkinson .

We have a full Apprenticeship program where I work and I will forward this along to that team

Sarah Parkinson

Awesome, please do!

One thing to note for apprenticeship programs is that our standard student validation process can be difficult for academic users without "standard" credentials (school-issued email addresses, student IDs, etc). We have a separate pathway that we can use for getting apprentices access if they run into any roadblocks. If that sounds like a better fit for your team, please have them email academic@bluebeam.com so we can get them set up!

Unable to download an older version of Revu 21
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
custom area measurement not properly adding curve control point
Since the update, my area measurements have been messing up when I try to add a curve control point while measuring. I hold ctrl + click and drag and it almost always reverts back to a straight line when I release and adds a point where my cursor was holding the curve. Also, the lines/area disappear completely if I move…
Why does Sharepoint in Bluebeam Cloud work but not OneDrive?
I have added our org SharePoint to Bluebeam Cloud (website) and I can see folders as I would expect. When I add my org OneDrive account to Bluebeam Cloud I see OneDrive and PersonalCacheLibrary folders show, if I click on OneDrive, it says "Something went wrong. Please try again." Never works, and I opened a ticket and…
Bluebeam Cloud is lacking a few features
If Bluebeam thought moving away from Bluebeam Revu for iPad in favor of Bluebeam Cloud was a good move… they have some explaining to do. I have been trying to get Bluebeam Cloud work for my team and so far it is glitchy, slow, cumbersome, and it is missing 90% of what made Bluebeam Revu so good. I can't measure things in…
Add mirror tool
A mirror tool would be really helpful when sketching ideas.
Send tool sets to Cloud
I found this support article, but I don't see the options shown in the screenshot to send to Cloud. At the bottom of the tool set menu I only see Manage Tool Sets, there's no Send Tool Sets to Bluebeam Cloud.
What do the Tool Chest Settings do?
Scale by reference
In our work, we frequently need to compare floor plan drawings. Often, we have to compare older drawings from archives with very new and detailed ones. The scales of these drawings often differ — sometimes from 1:100 to 1:200, but more commonly with small variations of 1–5% at a detailed level. Our current workflow is as…
Return Button!
Introduce a return function in Bluebeam! For example; Let's say there are annotations on the floor plan that have hyperlinks that take you to that annotated elevation and from there you click another annotation marker on the elevations that takes you to that detail and if you want to go back, you either have to remember…
Question About Printing Functionality in Bluebeam Cloud
Hi everyone, We’re currently using Intune-managed iPads for our Engineers, locked down as “Bluebeam iPads.” This setup works well for us, but with the recent announcement that Revu is being discontinued, we’re concerned about functionality moving forward. One of the key requirements for us is the ability to print PDFs on…
