I have plotted two drawings from AutoCAD to PDF (each a single page). When I open them separately in Bluebeam, their layers show up as expected. When I insert the second page into the same PDF as the first page, the layers are no longer showing for the second page. How do I get the layers to come along with the PDF when I…
Working with really large PDF sets, sometimes it seems performance may be hindered by a set with layers that were exported from the originating software, i.e. AutoCAD. It would be nice if there was a merge layers option to bring all layers to one.
Does layers work with sets? I created a layer on one sheet, then tried adding that layer to another sheet, but it's not available to add. It only has the option to create new.
You can create Layer Configurations to control the layers within a PDF but that must be done manually for each PDF currently. I would like a way to import and export these configurations. I have thousands of layers, so doing this manually is not feasible. Ideally, I would like a human readable / editable format (such as…
As a long-time user of both Bluebeam and AutoCAD, I'd like to propose a feature that would significantly enhance layer management workflow: a dedicated layer toolbar with a dropdown list, similar to AutoCAD's implementation. Layers are crucial to my workflow, both for markup organization and CSV export processes. While…
Did you know that you can easily create a layered PDF from a group of existing PDFs, where each will be a separate layer in the PDF? First, go to File > Create > Layered PDF Click Add Open Files to add all files currently open in Revu to the layered PDF. You can select a file and click to remove one. Comment down below: Do…
Hi Team, Can properties like those available to edit bookmarks please be added to layers? For example, Bold, Italic and Highlight.
When selecting layers, CNTRL SHIFT select , we cannot move the LAYERS in a group they HAVE to be done individual this is extremely inconvenient as its a simple movement of layers and option If we have 100's or layers, this is very time consuming when a simple option to select all in a group and move up or down into a…
Keyboard Shortcut Key Request: Add ability for the user to select a single layer to be assigned to a keyboard shortcut key for toggling on and off that layer. Example: Layers: Main document Overlay document #1 Overlay document #2 Right click overlay document #1 layer > assign to layer shortcut key > toggle on/off assigned…
I submit a request about the printing of drawings, measurements and markups that are in specific layers. I draw measurements in buildings to demolish or to construct, on an architect et engineer drawing; I design one layer for unique elements, one layer for elements on the ground, one layer for vertical elements on walls,…
I apply markups on top of each other to represent takeoff items for estimating. Each markup is on a separate Layer so that they can be toggled on and off for clarity. I will then group these markups and add them to the Tool Chest for repeat copy and paste. These pasted markups are then Ungrouped so that I have individual…
This week, we’re highlighting Layers in Bluebeam Revu. Layers let you organize content, making it easy to show or hide different elements like markups or design details. How have you used layers to keep your documents organized?

Can someone please tell me why I suddenly can't access my tools or properties of tools in Bluebeam? I am trying to add my signature as I do every day but today all of a sudden, my saved tool set doesn't work. I can import a new signature .png to Bluebeam but it won't let me access the properties of the tool to change the…
Whats the best way for two people to work on a drawing (not both at the same time). We have one person doing most of the drawing, but then sometimes our assessors need to go in and change something. At the moment this means downloading the PDF from Google Drive, opening up locally on bluebeam, editing, saving locally, then…
Could you please let me know if there is a way to split the window first and then open a spreadsheet or a Word file in one of those windows parallel to the pdf file?
Imagine placing a door symbol and Revu automatically attaching a mini BOQ for leaf, frame, hardware and labor, all rolling up into one smart cost object that updates as you copy or move it.
Im trying to adjust my polyline sketch to scale mark ups that I use for estimating and the only way I can get it to work is by dragging the control points. Is there a way to click the markup and edit the length via input. EX) Clicked line is 8'-10 1/2" I want to round to 9'-0" so I have to hold shift and drag the control…
Can Bluebeam convert a .pptx file to a PDF, and if so, how?
i cannot see my properties panel. it only shows up if i change profiles. i cannot use shortcut key Alt-P to make it visible
Following on from a discussion that I was having with someone the other day, how many of you use a custom profile? And, more importantly from my point of view, how many of you use multiple profiles? I have many profiles - different trades, several for measuring groundworks (civil engineering) alone, etc.. I thought many…
I am trying to delete a previous session and entering a new one. I keep getting an internal server error. Does anyone know who to get a hold of to fix this?
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?
