What’s one Bluebeam workflow you wish was easier?
Hi everyone! 👋
I've been following discussions here and noticed that many Bluebeam users face similar challenges — from quantity takeoffs and custom columns to CSV exports, reporting, repetitive markups, and project documentation.
I'm an independent developer working on practical digital tools, and I'd love to hear directly from the people using Bluebeam every day.
Rather than build another tool nobody needs, I'd prefer to understand the real problems first.
A few questions for the community:
🔹 What's the most frustrating or time-consuming part of your Bluebeam workflow?
🔹 Is there something you still have to calculate, organize, or correct manually?
🔹 Have you tried solving it with custom columns, Excel, scripts, or existing tools but couldn't get the results you wanted?
🔹 If you could have one small application, template, calculator, or automation specifically designed for your workflow, what would it do?
Here's my idea:
If several people share similar problems, I'd like to investigate developing a practical digital solution based on your feedback.
It could be a standalone application, an Excel-based tool, a Bluebeam-compatible toolkit, or a simple automation — whatever makes the most sense.
I'd also be happy to involve interested community members in testing an early prototype and sharing feedback.
No sales pitch here. I'm genuinely interested in understanding what Bluebeam users need and exploring whether we can build something useful together.

Even a small everyday annoyance could be the starting point for a useful tool.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
