I used to use the "paint can" fill option all the time when organizing my PDF's, and that icon disappeared a couple years ago. Did it get changed or modified? Is there an alternative that will do a similar task?
Thank you for the additional information @T-Berbs. Have you tried using "Dynamic Fill"? You have to have a "Complete" subscription to use this feature, but this might get you close to what you are looking for. If you have good quality drawings to work from Dynamic Fill can be a huge timesaver when measuring or color coding items with curves. I'm an estimator in the Civil Site Construction space. Dynamic Fill (with a good set of drawings) works well for parking lot and curb takeoffs.
Depending upon how you have your interface setup you can launch it from a toolbar or from the Tools menu:
Hope this helps. 😎
@t-berbs could you provide some additional insight into how you are using color to organize your PDFs?
David, Thanks for reaching out, so I am in the HVAC industry and we receive PDF's from engineers with their plan for heating and cooling buildings. I add color to the ducts and piping to refer to differentiate between the air systems (Supply, return, exhaust etc) , material changes, piping systems and so on. The "paint can" icon used to let me quickly go through and color these systems for me to then follow while I design my systems. That feature went away, and I don't have an alternative that is as quick.
Thanks for the information. The Dynamic Fill button is grayed out on my system, it must not be part of my company's subscription.
That could be the case @T-Berbs. You can check your subscription plan by clicking on your user name in the upper right corner of your screen. Might be a good time to lean on IT to upgrade your plan…
I've been trying to find anything related to this, but all I see is default tool 'settings' but I want to change the tool, not settings of the tool. The default selected now is the pan tool but my most used tool is the select text tool and when I open a new PDF or have multiple opened and then I close one, Revu will change…
Hello, I have used the Grab feature for years and it is one of my most frequently used tools. Recently, however, when I grab from one drawing and paste into another, the file size increases from around 1 MB to 2 GB. If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…
Hey, Is anyone know why Revu is crashing. I open it uplaod plans start measuring and it just crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have a very time sensitive project that I am doing and need it now and support is over 24hrs away. Any help be much appreciated. Thank you
When working on a file, Bluebeam will freeze then shut down. It's been happening quite frequently. Why is this happening?
As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color. Is there a way to change the icon to something like SW for sidewalk area? I have the measuring tools set up with custom labels and layers to facilitate review and quantity total…
Hello, Can I import Chets Tool Items from Excel. I've a list of items in Excel (number, description, m, m2, m3 of Pc) I've to measure. Can I import it to Tool Chest. Thanks.
Good afternoon, I want to create a Tool-Chest component in "Tool Chest" that automatically numbers, e.g., W001, W002, W003, W004, ... and measures the area. It should place this on the plan-view with number W001 and the area. And then also place this number W001 in the Marksup list so that the link between a specific wall…

I am estimator and sometimes need a lot of back and forth between plan and sections/details. I am aware of can use ALT+ Arrow left to back my previous page. But, I would like to keep focusing my current drawings and open those links trough new tabs. I can do it when I use Microsoft Edge (when have opened the PDF drawings).…
