Hi,
How easy is to learn Bluebeam, how long would it take to learn the basics and be able to perform common tasks?
What's the benefit of handling this software?
Thanks,
Bluebeam is easy to learn the basics and the more powerful tools are not hard to learn either, but they do need to be used frequently to remember them. But that's true of any software.
Thanks a lot!

I am also a new user, I would say I learned the basics in a few days and even memorized some keyboard shortcuts. Now that I have been using it for about a month, I am starting to learn more in depth uses and trying to find better quicker ways to complete my tasks.
Hello @Gheorghe I am using Bluebeam software since 2015, and when I started to use Bluebeam it was very easy to learn for me to grab the tools and utilize it. I must say this a friendly user software.
It is quite easy to learn. If you are using it frequently, it will take one week to 10 days to learn the basics.
Hey @Gheorghe and others on this thread - I have a recent update from Bluebeam University, which will definitely speed up your learning:
We just released a new suite of courses on BBU called Start Using Bluebeam - it's split up by role, so you can learn features quickly based on your role in the industry.
And we're always looking for feedback, so please feel free to reach out if you would like to see a specific kind of course or video from us!
Hi all, We recently experienced a technical issue that caused users to have trouble accessing Bluebeam.com domains. The problem has been fixed, but it may take a little while for the fix to fully take effect everywhere due to how internet systems store temporary information. Thank you for your patience as everything…
Hi Bluebeam Community, I recently purchased two vacant residential lots in El Sereno/South Pasadena area to build at least two small temporary homes for families displaced by recent wildfires. This project will provide safe, dignified housing while survivors rebuild their lives—but I need your help to make it happen! How…
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
I’m wanting to show a custom column identifier for each markup utilizing the count tool. Using the label properties this feature works for any measurement tool (area, length, radius etc…). However, it appears to be intended to work for the count tool, but the label only returns the «Custom Column» identifier. I'm attaching…
I do an absurd amount of take offs, and count all day long. I LOVE being able to leave a sequence, and resume it after looking at another page. This doesnt work anymore? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
When this happens, I can't move a directory with that file. This reddit post solved it for me. You just need to disable the recent file list in Revu. But I would like to use the recent file list feature someday, now that I have to turn it off. Please fix this Bluebeam. Thanks.…
I have a new issue whereby every time i open Bluebeam, it creates me an additional "My Tools" chest….i now have 16 Tool chests named "My Tools"!?! They also cant be deleted so they are growing. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi, We are new to BB and just starting to setup our templates, library etc. I have seen comments on using BB for punchlists and viewed on youtube but does BB have a learning page on how to set these up properly? We do large multi storey hotel projects and ideally want a live punchlist of sorts. Thanks for your help
