Furniture Tool Chest

Melise Connelly

Hi there! I am just starting out using BlueBeam… we have recently finished intro training and learned about furniture tools on BlueBeam support, however there are minimal available and mostly around residential/home design and they suggested i put a post up in the community. I am looking for advice on how to draw, or where i could find access to a wider range of, furniture stamps like dining tables (varying shapes), tables & chairs, booths/banquettes, etc.

Any tips/tricks would be really appreciated.

The first place to start is BlueBeam itself. If you haven't already, go to https://support.bluebeam.com/revu/resources/revu-custom-libraries.html to browse and download available tools.

Troy DeGroot runs UChapter2 which offers Bluebeam training and an assortment of tools for free download: https://uchapter2.com/

Another site I like is https://www.archtoolbox.com/. While it is focused on architecture and CAD, they do offer "BBToolsets" for a small fee ($50 one-time, I think?) which includes tools aimed at architecture and interior design.

For my office focused work, it's sometimes useful to check out the furniture manufacturers (e.g. Steelcase, Hon) websites. They make models of their furniture available for download although it tends to be in AutoCAD or Revit formats. Worth a try at least.

Good luck!
