Product improvement ideas

At #UNBOUND25 multiple speakers mentioned how important user input was to the development team for adding new features. Users can suggest product improvements on the "Product Feedback" section of the Bluebeam Community webpage. If you see a feature suggested that someone has already posted that would help you with your workflows - or maybe just sounds cool - you can "like" the suggestion. The product development uses those "upvotes" to help determine priorities for feature development.

My goal for October is to make a suggestion every day. I'm 9 for 9 so far. Which one is your favorite?

YES!!!!! Thanks for sharing this tip, @David Cutler !!!!

Adding search box at the top of columns, to search a specific detail, if your using the subject or label as a detail marker.

Not 100% sure what you are looking for here but is this something that the filter can be used for?

David Cutler

Are you familiar with the search window at the top of the markups list @Timofey Abramov?

David Cutler

Okay, 21 for 21 so far. Please give my suggestions a look over and "upvote" the ones that you think would improve your Revu workflows.

Timofey Abramov

yes, and its definitely useful, but what I was thinking was more here:

{9D41B824-B8FD-4368-9C4F-597E64049E4C}.png

if an estimate has 100 subjects or 10+ labels in a subject often leads to scroll fatigue.

I'm not sure that I'm understanding what you are looking for here @Timofey Abramov. I'm pretty sure based, on my quick test with my custom columns, that if you were to type "6/SR.01 - STEMWALL FOOTING" into the Markups List search box Revu would only display markups that had "6/SR.01 - STEMWALL FOOTING" entered in the column between "Layer" and "Label" (and any other field that had that text string)

Another feature request would have the ability to have page search on every Bluebeam window, so when I split view and move over window to another desktop, I can navigate pages via that window versus having to use my main Bluebeam window. I even resort to running multiple bluebeams just to have that functionality.

Searching or Sorting Jobs
With the new Bluebeam Cloud app, many of my foreman have switched from the old Revu app to this, and have requested a sorting feature. Right now it's only showing their jobs in numberic/alphabetic order. When we label our jobs, they get the job number first. So the most recent jobs are at the very bottom of the list. If…
Allow import and export of Layer Configurations.
You can create Layer Configurations to control the layers within a PDF but that must be done manually for each PDF currently. I would like a way to import and export these configurations. I have thousands of layers, so doing this manually is not feasible. Ideally, I would like a human readable / editable format (such as…
Is there a way to completely hide the “Scale” text in Bluebeam Revu 21 page labels
I’ve noticed that in Revu 21, every page in the Thumbnails panel now shows “Scale: Not Set” if the PDF doesn’t have a defined drawing scale. In my case, I review and organize a lot of documents like submittals, wiring diagrams, proposals, and building maps, none of which use or need scales. The problem is that the “Scale:…
Add Layers AFTER starting Bluebeam Session
It would be really helpful to be able to add layers AFTER a bluebeam session has been initiated. We use the layers to assign markups to particular users, which then allows them to filter their tasks.
Find & Replace
Does anyone know if there is a quick way (or any way) to do a bulk 'Find & Replace' on a markup? For example, I have x number of yellow widgets on a markup but the specification changes and I need to replace all the yellow ones with red ones instead. I want to be able to tell Revu to find all the yellow widgets, delete…
Allow Hyperlinks to BB Session Content - Files, markups, etc
I should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
