Is their any way to import a "standard list" of measurement items that I could use on multiple projects without having to type them each time I start a new project. I.E. is their an import function that could facilitate this need?
Welcome to the Community @BJL!
Short answer - YES! You can create custom tools and reuse them on future projects.
The next question is how much detail you want to collect with each markup and how you want to use the information in your overall workflow.
To get yourself started create a custom markup. Once you have the properties set the way you want select the markup, right click and select "add to tool chest". That tool will now be available for all future projects!
If you are new to Bluebeam there is some great content available on the UChapter2 YouTube site (https://www.youtube.com/@UChapter2 ) and the Vinic Surveying YouTube site (https://www.youtube.com/@vinicsurveying )
Don't forget to check out Bluebeam University too!
These are great places to see what is possible with Revu.
Hope this helps! 😎
I recently discovered a bluebeam file which included lines with line style to suit different type of steel sections. The way the line style worked is that if the the page was 1:10 scale and the line weight was 1.0, the line style would produce a side on profile of a given steel I beam to scale. I thought this simplified…
I erased one digit of the original pdf. Then added one character in text box over the erased area. Color is black. When I print, the character prints gray. And it looks gray in my "recents". (see "5" below) Anyone have a clue why?
Following on from a discussion that I was having with someone the other day, how many of you use a custom profile? And, more importantly from my point of view, how many of you use multiple profiles? I have many profiles - different trades, several for measuring groundworks (civil engineering) alone, etc.. I thought many…
I would like a .BTX file with all Electrical and AV Symbols in it. I would like to mark up plans for material Takes.
When using the highlighter to mark completed changes, it often jumps into "text" mode every time it goes over letters, etc. Is there a way to turn this off so I don't accidentally highlight a bunch of text? I know you can hold down the CNTL button, but I'd like something that works more smoothly.
I am interested in understanding how my team can utilize BBM in the field to perform construction punchlist with notes and pictures and how this data can turn into report. Ideally we would like to have a toolkit available. What is the timeline for this functionality?
I am trying to get or develop a way how I could get an automatic distance between two devices taking into account some parameters that I define
If I measure some items several times, and then an hour later find some more to measure, can I reuse the markups I used initially without adding to the Toolbox? I see there is a format painter but this just changes the markup appearance without changing the markup properties such as layer, description, etc. If I added…
I'm using the mobile app for iPhone and my project recently stopped updating all the changes I make on my laptop. I'm currently running back and forth taking pictures of different details and going back to the building to layout work for my guys. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I hope it's something really dumb…
I am open to purchasing a higher license, but first I want to see if this will work like I am hoping it will. My company adds user data in a spreadsheet (e.g. IP Addresses, SN, etc), and we would like that info to go directly into our as built drawings. The idea being that we would only have to update the information in…
