Is there a way to build a tool that does offsets of polygons, lines, polylines, etc.? Not the multiply tool but take a square, for example, and offset/scale it smaller/larger by a specified distance.
I know this might seem like a slightly Niche idea, however, when marking up a drawing using the perimeter tool - converting lines to arcs is slightly time consuming in my opinion. An alternative method of drawing curves would be to create multiple control points forming the curve - once again quite time consuming. My Idea…
You used to be able to click the header of a tool set to expand and collapse the set, now you must click the arrow Additionally, you used to be able to see the color of tools in properties mode when the set is in Detail view; now the color only appears in symbol view
It would be great to have the ability to add a keyboard shortcut for the Resume Count command in the context menu. If a count object was selected a user could then type a single command to resume that count.
A bunch of scanned drawings were obtained and processed with OCR. As it is hard to control how the printer scans the drawings, the drawings will not be aligned. It would be great to include a function to align drawings based on the title block. So when the users run the automark function by selected region, the accuracy…
It's pretty simple. It seems pretty intuitive. There should be a field under properties that displays the enclosed area of the selected polygon. If the scale is set, that field should display the scaled area of the polygon. We shouldn't have to retrace existing polygons to calculate area. Please, and thank you. A value-add…
Currently the "Ctrl-E" shortcut opens an email window with the active .pdf attached and the subject line matches the filename of the .pdf. This is my most used BlueBeam shortcut. Problem is Microsoft is pushing "New Outlook" on users and I'm begrudgingly becoming used to it (it's actually great for a lot of things BTW).…
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
I’ve used BB Revu for nearly 20 years and it is an important tool in my architectural practice. Recently, we decided to move over To Apple MacBook Pro laptops because the other hardware being used in the office is Apple's. While I knew some software would not be available on Apple Macs, I was surprised that there was no…
Currently, when Exporting Excel Markup Summary, Replies come in on a different line (see below image in red, first table). This makes tracking and sorting these markups quite cumbersome. Would love there to be an option to have replies come in on a different column. (see below, second table). Replies to replies would…

I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
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…
There should be a way to add layers in a pdf on blue beam studio to have to set them all up sheet by sheet then upload them is very time consuming each time a new sheet is added or if someone else adds sheet
Hello y'all ! Is there someon who know how to export coordinate of each control point? (Polyline, not polylength measurement) Thank you ! :-D
I have recently been upgraded to Revu 21 and I remember my tools having custom properties applied for certain tools. Like attaching cost codes to specific tool chest items. I am not seeing the custom fields in the properties window now. Where did it move to?
I frequently copy excerpts from a PDF using the 'Snapshot' tool ('G' keyboard shortcut) and paste them into emails and chat (MS Outlook & Teams). I love that it can retain vector data and have customized resolution. However, I ran into an issue trying to copy the full page. Even with a basic, unlocked, 8.5x11 page with…
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…
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
Hi everyone, does anyone know why I have the Filter and Sort option disabled in the summary option?
