Import Layers from Excel for Efficient Take-Offs
I would like to suggest a feature that would greatly enhance productivity in Bluebeam Revu. It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to import a list of layers from an Excel file directly into Revu. Use Case: I currently manage an Excel file that contains a detailed list of items for estimation, each of which…

BETA TESTING
I'm so frustrated with Bluebeam and these updates with broken features. Seems like every update for the last year has major problems and then fixes take a long time to come out and no one on the support team has any concrete information on the next fix. I love this program and use it all day most days. I just hate that new…

Multiply Markup Adjustment
Plan sets are often set to 45 or 90 degrees. Only having the option to multiply up, down, left and right limits us in terms of 45 degree plans. Honestly, what would it take to code in those additional fields? 45 minutes after a lunch break?

Templates to Keep Parent and Child Layers
At present I can't use the Template drawings as they lose the parent and child layers when they are saved as a new drawing to be marked up i.e. all the layers default back to a single 'level'. Can this be updated to ensure the staged layers are maintained.

Export to Excel Not Working
I've recently had an issue whereby I was trying to export a schedule out to Excel but there were lots or errors or information was just missing. I found this to be because of the font type on the pdf - basically Bluebeam wasn't recognising or didn't like it. So, I simply selected all of the text, changed it and then…

Current Folder As Save Location For Markup List Export
Instead of defaulting to the last folder where a Markup List file was exported to, can we have the option of defaulting to the folder in which the pdf file that you are using is saved. If I am moving between pdf's which are saved in different folders it is too easy to end up saving the output file in the wrong place.

Takeoffs - CNTRL + Shift Key after 21.7 Update
I do a good amount of takeoff in bluebeam and noticed an annoying issue after updating to 21.7. It used to be that you could use the CNTRL + Shift keys to do a straight takeoff line (shift key) and avoid any control lines or points on the drawing (CNTRL key) to get to a precise spot on the drawing. After the update, the…

Offset measurement for excavation
In construction projects, precise measurements are crucial, especially when preparing the foundation of a building. An offset is used to create a boundary around the structure, typically extending 1.8 meters from the building's perimeter. This offset allows for the necessary workspace for construction excavation. By…

Tool Count Legends. Total Count Legend vs Current Page Counts
I'm not sure how long ago this changed, but it was pretty recent…. I used to be able to make a legend from my tool counts per page by selecting the counts to be per the "current" page and then at the begining of the document on the cover page I could create a Master Legend with the Total Counts that had ALL the counts from…

Drawings are loading sequencial oand slow
Hi All. i have reached out to the support team, but without getting the needed help. They wrote that the problem was due to the drawing being "large", but the problem is not connected to all large drawings. The Drawing is not responding dynamic to zoom, but keeps loding in small bites/fields, making the it slow to work…

Markup & Custom Column Issue
Hi all, I have reached out to the support team at Bluebeam with little success with an issue i am having recently. I have a selection of custom mark-up tools and columns that were created last year for the take-off of pipework and ductwork insulation and have been working well for the most part. As I carry out my ductwork…

Streamline Snapshots
This very well may already be a feature and please let me know if there is a faster process to what I am doing. When I receive a construction package, I insert a 200 in. x 200 in. blank page (that's the largest size). I take snapshots of all the drawings and use the match lines on each drawing to ultimately make one large…

Batch > Summary > Load Config -- How about a default path?
Can you set a default path for the Load Config file? That would save some time.
