Hi @owen_archmill,

Bluebeam’s web, iOS, and Android apps are at different stages of development and are serving slightly different user needs today, so tool availability will vary by platform for a while.

Web: Supports Length, Area, Count, and PolyLength tools today.
iOS (iPhone and iPad): We’re shipping an update next week that adds Length, Area, Count, and PolyLength measurement tools.
Android: On the same path, but those tools will land later than iOS.

Dimensions and Stamps are on our roadmap across platforms, but they’re not part of our immediate H1 2026 priorities. Our next priority will be Tool Chest with Tool Set importing for bringing your custom markups on the go, and Capturing features needed for site observations and punch reports.

Best,

@Shawn Dawson, do you have an ETA on when you will be adding these items for the session part for the ipad. i know you mentioned next month, do you have an exact week? thanks!

Hey @owen_archmill, we're targeting the 3rd week of February, which should fall on (or around) Wednesday, 2/18.

Hi @Shawn Dawson, any updated timeline on the iOS measurements?

Hi @CCalladine, iOS measurements v1 are now live! Please note: measurements are currently only available from Studio Projects and Local PDF editing. We're rolling out an update next month that brings measurements into Sessions.

Amazing timing,

Thanks Shawn!

When is it anticipated to add capability of digitally signing drawings in Studio? I was hoping to be able to stamp and sign drawings on an ipad.

Hey @IBS, Stamps are on the roadmap, more advanced tools like Stamps and Snapshots are targeted for 2027.

The ability to fill out PDF signature fields was just released back in December. We still have more broad general-use features that we're focused on this year like Measurements (released today), Tool Sets, and Image Capturing, as well as some critical navigation improvements for juggling multiple files.

Shading issue
Some of the BB marked up PDFs I receive have shading and "draw order" out of whack to the point that I cannot read what's below the block. All of the items should come in like the "12' APPLES" unit, in orange. Any thoughts? The preferred "Order" would be with the shading at the base level and the pasted fixture block above.
