I have uploaded a batch PDF; I have noticed there are already layers that the Bluebeam software has picked up and added in the layer section. Please let me know if there is a quick and seamless way to perform these actions.
Clarification: The Bluebeam layers that appear in the Layers section do not appear in the markups section. Why is that?
Action 1: The action I am trying to preform is to measure all the double dashed lines on a page. I noticed that one of the layers that the Bluebeam software automatically picked up on is all of those doubled dashed lines that I need to measure. Currently, I isolate that layer and then use the measuring tool to measure all of those lines. What I am looking for is a shortcut. I would like to isolate those lines and then with one or two clicks tell BB to measure that particular layer. Is this possible?
Action number two: On another page in the same document, the Bluebeam software picked up the layers of single dashed lines and double dashed lines automatically but combined them. Is there a way to split a preexisting layer and then preform the same action in action 1 of measure those lines separately and in a seamless fashion.
Thank you in advance and look forward to your response.

Moved your comment into a separate discussion.
For the first part of the question, the layers you're seeing in the PDF probably came from the authoring software (Autocad, Revit, etc..). The reason why they're not in the markups list is the markups themselves are not assigned to a layer.
For the rest of the post, the answer unfortunately is simply, not an option today.
Is there a way to set a customized Tool Chest/Tool Box as the "My Tools" default, so that the symbols/markups you have in your custom set can have the number shortcuts? I have created my own "My Tools" with customized formatted markups. However, I was hoping to share them with others in the office so they don't have to…
Is there a way to adjust the way a Markup/Callout can be input into a document when it comes from the Tool Chest? "My Tools" are setup with pre-formatted callouts for certain types of Quality Reviews of Construction documents. The formatting is office-wide. I created the shortcuts so i can have a "Hot Key" associated to…
What's up ya'll?! Does anyone else have a recurring copy/paste issue where you are not allowed to copy a markup and paste onto a different sheet within the same file? This has only recently appeared. The issue is resolved when I restart my computer but simply restarting bluebeam does not solve the issue. I am on the latest…
Hello - Does anyone know of any companies that review the quality of construction drawings prior to construction? Any that utilize AI? Thank you!
Hi, I am trying to figure out the best way to do collaborative P&ID markups with multiple colleagues using Bluebeam. We would like to do real-time collaborative markups of P&ID:s without having to check files in and out and then being able to download one or more files from the session to send to other disciplines, without…
I want to export Text inside bubble from P&ID PDF to excel format so that I can easily inlist all tags to save time.is there any specific way or by scripting in bluebeam revu software?
We have AGTEK users that provide us with material takeoffs, dirt work quantities etc. Is anyone here importing AGTEK material takeoff markups into Bluebeam? Thank you! Here is what google AI thinks the process is…
Heya, How does one define which textbox gets taken over when you define a sequence on a tool? I created 3 groups and created the textboxes in alphabetical order and in different placements. However, the sequencing chose a random textbox to replace the text with "1" on every one. How do I define which of the 3 textboxes…
How can i take-off materials quicker using blue beam. I normally see autocad PDF's. Ive tried exporting the comments but i would need to build a formula. Very time consuming.
how do I filter out only my mark-ups to transfer to another PDF as when I window in the whole document alot of other stuff is highlighted?…. I just want this stuff….
