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!
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…
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…
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…
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
Export Comments in Revision Clouds to highlight mouse over in PDF. Revision Clouds have a comment parameter already and if populated an option to export that data for a mouse over highlights the note in comments for the contractor for extra info on the reason for the update hence the added cloud. Very useful way to share…
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…
Hi Team, Can properties like those available to edit bookmarks please be added to layers? For example, Bold, Italic and Highlight.
Hi Community, I have a large page count PDF overlay project comparing two drawing sets. The sets have jumbled the pages between them and I have to align pages to do the overlay. I don't want to do batch overlay as I need the layers to toggle, nor did that work anyway. My idea, is since I have to rearrange the pages to get…
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?
Is there some reason why OCR works on some text in a drawing file and not other text? It looks to be the same font as other text on the drawing that OCR was successful in making searchable. Sorry I am unable to include a snip due to IP. Can anyone share their OCR settings? I've been using Bluebeam for years and still have…
