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
The desktop version of bluebeam already allows for non-pdf file types to be checked in and out of Bluebeam Studio Folders (for example, and excel spreadsheet). Offering the same feature for the iPad App would allow Superintendents on the field to utilize excel spreadsheets to track equipment rentals and other useful…
I work on large projects with our client who use Blue Beam Studio for their turnovers, we use to be able to copy the directory folder in the properties tab and use that link to send out, then it would allow the person who uses the link to the document to take them there in their Bluebeam Studio which is perfect for signing…
If you alert someone to a comment in a studio session, they get a notification. The first time they click on the notification, it takes them to the comment with the alert, but if they navigate away, the notification no longer acts as a link, even if you set its status to "unread". Notifications should always act as links.
As a contractor several different company's. Often get give a different "Work" email addresses. So when i get added to sessions or project. I often have to get the invitation resent to my personal email. Is there away to attach more then one email to my account. So when i am added via a work email. I can just ad that email…
To avoid driving back to external lists of users each time I create a session, I started utilizing "groups" to store these users. It took a while to set up as there is no mass import option (another feature to add!). Once assembled, adding users is as simple as a couple clicks on the desired user groups. When explaining it…
We use Sessions for reviewing massive drawing sets collectively as a team. There are many instances that we need to inform users of some changes made, documents added, etc. that impacts their work. There does not appear to be an "email all attendees" option, which would be very useful. Not all attendee lists are the same…
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to take a comment list and use the list to mark-up plans. We have a standard list in Word that has about 100 comments. I want to take the list and allow the use of one item at a time when marking up a plan. For example, one of the comments could say, "Provide rating where adjacent…
Studio sessions are great for quality control and reviewing plans. It would be great to have a plan development workspace with the collaboration of a Session but the ability to add / delete sheets within a set.
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…

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.
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
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'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…
Hello y'all ! Is there someon who know how to export coordinate of each control point? (Polyline, not polylength measurement) Thank you ! :-D
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…
