It would be really nice for the estimators that use bluebeam regularly to be able to see the counts of all the measurement tools and markups, not just the count tool. This would essentially mean that every measurement that's not a count would be automatically assigned a count of 1. Then, for example, if I take off the…
Other mark ups are able to be selected and aligned. The same functionality should be available for count tools for cleaner organization of these mark up tools.
I'm working on a workflow in Bluebeam Revu where I need to tally items in multiples of 3, even though all materials are ultimately ordered in single units. The challenge is that many items I mark up are typically grouped in threes — for example, a single instance on the drawing represents three units of material. I want to…
Trying to figure out how many markups are on a PDF? Ditch the manual counting and use the Count Tool! Here’s how you can count objects in a PDF: Go to Tools > Measure > Count If you want to set the Count measurement's appearance: Go to Window > Panels > Properties Now, click each object in the PDF that you would like to be…
If not possible to be enabled while using ALL measurement markups, at least it can be used in counting materials like fittings, or fixtures.
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 running a visual search, I noticed that the "Apply Count Measurement" to results is filtered by your last search within the toolchest. I would prefer that this did not filter the same way my toolchest does when running the search. Many times I want my chest to stay filtered, but want to be able to apply counts that…
BalancePages should have a function to allow you to insert your own PDF. InsertPages has this functionality, so it isn't too far out of the realm of possibilities. Use: Making sure documents are always even or odd by slip-sheeting individual PDFs prior to combining. Having the possibility of IF/THEN statement in Bluebeam…
So it would be really awesome if it would tell you the distance from the last count you placed. For example… I estimate fire sprinkler heads. I use the count function for my head placement, to get the total number of heads required for a project. There are NFPA codes though that state how for apart or close a head is…
Hello, we're working on adding custom tools with our own labeling for use in Revu. Count measurements have been very easy to integrate, but is it possible to add the Polylength tool with custom labels for the columns to the Tool Chest? When I attempt to add them like the count measurements, it "bakes in" whatever I draw…

I have measured many different areas in relation to flooring. Now I want to create a new sub-zone on top of some of them, where Bluebeam should calculate how many square meters of the different types (e.g., based on color marking) are within this zone—ideally also showing the percentage of the total area at the same time.…
As I was preparing my response to @Troy DeGroot's post about custom line types I stumbled on to something that seemed odd. My original work with the custom line types was performed on my desktop at the office. When I opened the file from my laptop, I was surprised that the custom line styles that I had created weren't…
It seems that the transition from Prime Portal to Org Admin has officially begun. Unfortunately, the way it is being managed has left us with the inability to manage projects and sessions (and ownership) for an unknown period of time. My understanding had been that Prime Portal would be retired at the end of the year (one…
Hello, I can't get Bluebeam review to work with handwriting to text while using it with my XpPen artist Pro 13.3. I enable the Pencil Entry (Entré de Crayon, I'am using the french version) and I cant make a single A to make it appear in text… Thanks for reading.
Hi all, I am posting to check if there has been any changes with support for fully independent windows when dragging tabs out. When I drag a tab away from the main window, the new window does not have the full toolbar, and minimizing one window causes both to minimize. I know I can open a new instance from the taskbar, but…
Can I change blend mode - use transparency, and color with overlay layers? I am not able to manipulate. I want one layer bright and other reduced opacity.
Currently I add each open file to an open session by "right click - Add to open Studio Session". Is there a way to batch this process? This would save me a lot of time.
New to bluebeam, best way to locate stamp in a pre-determined location on a sheet?
Hello peers, My goal using BB is to create excel spreadsheets of the counts of Exhaust Fans, Grilles, equipment etc. But most importantly ductwork. Instead of using the measurement tool where it gives you red measurements inbetween two arrows, is there a way I can highlight the duct run and it store the measurement?…
Hi, I'm a new user and want to edit some text on an existing PDF file. Can somebody please help me on how can this be done. I can use text box to add content, but not edit the original content.
