HI BB team,
Is there any way we can delete or hide the "comment" column in BB's tool chest. It is not used in our company and takes up needed space when taking off the plans.
MDT, I hear what you are saying, but I have never found a way to hide it. But let's dig a little deeper into what you are trying to do or could possibly do. It is easy to Hide the Comments column in the Toolset by simply dragging the grip across to provide more display area real estate or drag the Comments column closer to the display area. But that then hides the Lable column. I assume you have a need for the Lable column.
If you do not need a Label, that is a simple fix to give the Subject more space and fewer Comments information, but not removed.
Now, let's dig into why you are not using the Comments column. I come from a CAD Management background, so if I can communicate easily with end-users without walking over or jumping on Teams, I will take advantage of that function. In Toolsets, I use the Comments column to describe how to use the Markup in the Toolset. Does everyone read it, It's probably not, but it's there and reduced the number of times they asked me, 'How does this work.'
Good luck with your Toolset.
Good morning, since this issue shows up in multiple posts and I agree with them I would like to add further explanation below.
When performing a take off you want to maximize the plan sheet space you are viewing. Currently if you drag the "grip" to narrow the tool chest display area it slides the comment and label columns with it until they reach their minimum width and then it starts to overlap the subject area leaving your subject area to only +/- 8-12 characters. Then if you go to expand the grip to reveal more characters it first unveils the comment and label columns and by the time the subject column grows in width you've now lost a good section of your entire screen. The two fixes would be 1. ability to hide columns 2. when you drag the grip have it start to cover the label comment columns immediately.
Agreed! Thanks for detailing this issue. the comment column takes up so much real-estate and its pretty much useless.
Actually, I take that back, well at least some of it. I just checked and you can now HIDE the Comment section.
and just slide the column over, and now its GONE:
I also see that you can pretty much hide all columns you want, so this issue is FIXED!
I'm at the latest update, my columns do not collapse as far as you're showing
This remains the narrowest in my case…
I see there was an update 6/6/25, but it seems it is not applied to older versions. I cannot fully hide the column and it is very frustrating to repeatedly minimize as much as I can every time I open tools.
Recently, I've been experiencing and issue in that when I use my hotkeys for the typewriter or text box, they don't work. I used to be able to then go click the icon on the bar and I'd then be able to drop a textbox or get the typewriter cursor to appear, but now that doesn't work either. I just tried uninstalling and…
I am not able to choose different colors for my layers when I am overlaying more than 8 layers together. All I am seeing is the graded color palatte in revu v21 rather than the default one where we can customize the colors based on the RGB values. Has anyone faced this issue before? Is there any workaround for this to…
How do I ensure my session allows for plan review markups? I cannot sort out how to enable one of my sessions to have both the review and plan review tab.
Small Biz and we have BB Revu 20 still in our conference rooms because it does not require sign-in. I tried putting Revu 21 in one conference room and had it signed in with it's own account, but then there were server side issues and then login was required again. Users were confused and entered their own login for…
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.
we have installed the software and tried to login with "name_example.com" Account using "Bluebeam Australia Region"., But it is not allowing to login. Showing the error like below snip. But., we tried to login with "Bluebeam United States Region" and it allowed login, but the Plan is showing as "unassigned" like below…
Hello!! I have been using Bluebeam for a decent while, and anything I have trouble with I can usually sort out on my own, but I am stumped. We have a set of plans, all of which are images with a peach-coloured background. To save on ink, I need to change them to grayscale, ideally. Please see the attached screenshot. It…
On Windows, some PDF previews appear in my folders sidebar while others do not. It seems like the ones I created show a preview, but the externally generated ones don't. Is there a setting I can change to make all PDFs show a preview?
Has anyone had issues logging into Studio after upgrading to 21.9? I have a team member who can't get logged into Studio but can use everything else. Only thing he's done differently is upgrade. Thanks!
Is there anyway to customize keyboard short cuts for say the highlighter function? I would like to be able to have these for different colors.
