Add Append/Prepend Functionality When Editing Custom Columns Across Multiple Markups
When multiple markups have different values in a custom column, editing them all at once replaces the existing text. I’d like the option to append or prepend text, so I can add consistent information without overwriting unique information in each markup. I don't want to have to make multiple custom columns for this.…

Bugs for certain markup tools
With the latest update, it seems the ability to hold down CTRL to temporarily turn of Snap to Markup or Snap to Content was removed. Now, say if I need to draw a line, I have to click once to begin the line (which means the beginning of my line will snap to something nearby), and then I can hold down CTRL to turn off the…

Rotate markups before placement using a keyboard shortcut
I would like to suggest a new enhancement for future releases of Bluebeam Revu: the ability to rotate markups before placement using a keyboard shortcut. For example, pressing the Space bar while placing a markup could rotate it by 90 degrees with each tap. This feature is common in other design and markup applications and…

Font Toolbar Size Input - Auto Enters After Typing First Number
When editing the font size using the Font Toolbar (not the properties toolbar that shows up when editing text), if I single click the font to edit the size, then use my keyboard to enter a double digit number, the font size will automatically enter only the first digit. For example, if I want to change the font from 12 to…

How to save a layers template and use for new estimate projects?
When working with layers in Bluebeam, our estimating team typically uses the same template across all projects — about 15 main layers, each with multiple child layers. So far, we haven’t found a reliable way to transfer this full layer structure from one project to the next. We’ve tried saving the layers to a template file…

Gross and Net Square Foot
When doing takeoffs it would be nice to see the cutout information (specifically the area) connected to the sketch to scale markup. For instance, A wall with a door opening; the markups list would show the rectangle sketch to scale properties for the wall (length, width, area, etc) and it would have a column for "cut out…

ARCS - better - more like CAD
Better arc control - 3 Point arc is the best (Skectchup / ACAD) and then Editing that arc with the mid point or end point ie: CAD. The Illustrator Method currently being used is way too complex than it needs to be. Simple arcs

Open Link in New Tab/Window
It would be great if Bluebeam pages can perform like web browsers. Specifically, when reviewing a huge set of drawings, it becomes difficult navigating between different pages. So, it would be amazing if one can click a link and open it in a new tab or window that is split from the previous one. That way when reviewing…

Add option to apply multiple tools at the same time
My suggestion is to add the ability to apply multiple tools at the same time. In construction we often need to apply multiple layers of materials to the same area. Examples could include plywood/tar paper/shingles on a roof or fine grading, stone, asphalt base, asphalt binder, tack and asphalt wearing course on a parking…

Hatch Functionality
Hello. Under hatch patterns, it'd be great to have a version of the grid pattern that is rotated 45 degrees. This is the traditional hatch pattern used for concrete masonry in architectural drawings. I normally achieve this by overlaying two objects with the diagonal patterns, but this can be cumbersome. Alternatively,…
