We use MassDOT, RIDOT and other standardized status conditions, so we have something like 20 different status options for markup items. Bluebeam allows multiple statuses to be added to any one comment, and tracks the time/date/user the status changes. Turning on 'Filter List' allows us to focus on certain statuses, but…
How can i take-off materials quicker using blue beam. I normally see autocad PDF's. Ive tried exporting the comments but i would need to build a formula. Very time consuming.
Hi all, Strangest thing has happened where my measurement markups will not longer display. I am able to set scales, set the start/end of the measurement, the preview measurement appears but after clicking again, the measurement disappears with no markup. Online advise says there is a Option tab to check "Show Markup" but I…
As the title suggest, it would be nice and almost necessary to include leaders in the default ARC tool rather than having to create a polyline, convert to arc, drag grips, etc, to simulate this.
Revu 21.6.0 is here! 🎉 📅 Release date: June 3, 2025 Get ready for smoother workflows, smarter tools, and even more control. Here's what's new and improved: 🖊️ Markups on Capture Now you can mark up directly on embedded images—because sometimes words aren’t enough, and arrows say it best. 💻 ARM-based Windows? We got you.…
Hello y'all ! Is there someon who know how to export coordinate of each control point? (Polyline, not polylength measurement) Thank you ! :-D
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…
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…
Is there a way to select all items on all pages after mark-up? I need to have all items appear, from all sheets in a single legend. Common mark-ups will all tally together, but if there is a stray item on a single page, it gets left behind.
How do I change uploaded PDF doc from pending so that I can work on it?

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…
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…
