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.
Hi everyone! What is the experience with Revu on Mac via Parallels? I have been exclusively using in the past decade Revu on several iPads for marking off, measuring, take offs on the go but now as the iPad app gone and the new Cloud / Mobile replacement is still in the cooking I am forced to seek alternatives. As I have…
Can Bluebeam convert a .pptx file to a PDF, and if so, how?
How do I show a file path in a text box?
Hi, brand new user here. Just sat through several hours of tutorials, and I'm trying to determine how useful Bluebeam will be for tracking my daily as-builts on a road project. I'm one of the first inspectors using Bluebeam here. The problem I am having is using the Polyline Sketch-to-Scale. I cannot seem to edit a drawn…

When I am trying to search for keywords on a plan/document, it displays 0 results found. This is the first time I've had this problem. Does anyone know why that would be?
We are currently reviewing our licenses and find that we lack the necessary functionality to scale up or even maintain our current number of licenses. We would like to see functionality for creating and managing templates for control plans, commissioning protocols, checklists, and similar field documentation, with results…
I hope that is what the feature is called that I am referencing. I have used Blue Beam now for a couple years. I have always used the Line and Polyline tools when drawing things, especially overlays to buildings where I want to keep nice straight lines. In the past, I could select the tool, let's use Polyline: if I held…
