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
1- On-site usage of Bluebeam Cloud is highly convenient and effective. However, it would be greatly beneficial to incorporate a "Notes" feature similar to that available in Bluebeam Revu into the markup tools. This enhancement would enable users to add comments more efficiently, without compromising the document’s…
In Bluebeam Revu for iPad (which is slated to end soon) I would insert a markup comment (text) and then "attach" a captured photo (or image from a file). This has become very useful during construction site observations / punch walks. Once back in the office after adding several comments with attached photos, I would use…
We were looking for a punch list tool for our projects. Cloud used to have Project Management process for submittals, RFI's and Punch Lists (if I remember correctly). I know those features went away. Now that Studio Projects show up in Cloud could the Punch List tool in Cloud be brought back and have it be able to link to…
To increase efficiency it would be ideal if, when exporting a markup summary, that one would be able insert page breaks for each individual punch item. Meaning that each singular punch item and associated embedded photo's get grouped together. This would allow Contractors to pull specific sheets and direct them to the…
We do a lot of field surveying of existing conditions and, of course, punch listing of projects being built. At a previous job we used PlanGrid. At my current company we use Bluebeam and I'm in the process of evaluating the use of Bluebeam in the field. Two capabilities that PlanGrid has that are missing from Bluebeam:…
I have adapted the Punch List feature in Bluebeam to work for Field Reports/Site Observations while on site, which has been a huge time saver, as I am able to generate the field report while onsite with minimal additional time post processing. I created two stamps one for Corrective Action (CA) and another for Planned Work…

Curious if others have experienced this error when trying to PDF from the Bluebeam Add-in within Word and if you have any fixes: Version: 21.6.1 Operating System: Windows 10
Hi. I've been banging my head against this one for a long time and it seems to be an intended feature. For all of my measurement markups, it seems like I can't add or modify comments. It will only prepopulate the comments field based on what I select to show in caption under properties. In practice what this means for me…
BB crashed and I had added/edited dozens of tools and when I logged back in many of the toolsets were not showing in my profile or in the toolset list (so not hidden). Any ideas? And when I tried importing it said they already existed….
I am struggling with converting certain tables and/or bid tabs from PDF into Excel. I have tried the entire document and just the page region, but when I export the data, the formatting is all screwed up. I can't seem to get the tables to import neatly. Any suggestions?
Every Time I load a document, it says this document has a protected scale and won't let me measure anything. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks
Hi, just wondering how I can edit markups/takeoffs that I made at my home office and view and change at my work office? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dynamic Fill is an awesome tool, but from time to time I do try to use i on drawings where even though I have an outline shape that appears to be closed, the Paint Bucket tool still bleeds out even at the smallest brush and slowest fill settings. Does anyone have any suggestions or found a fix for this? Using it primarily…
Hello, Is it possible to have Bluebeam Studio automatically sync all studio files to a local server in lieu of Bluebeam's cloud servers? My office is exploring the idea of getting all of my project observers an iPad with cellular data so that they can have Bluebeam Studio (or rather Bluebeam Cloud) at all times. Should…
Our IT department has been slowly upgrading our users to Windows 11. A few of our users have been experiencing really bad lag with creating, moving, modifying markups. This happens both in Session and with locally saved files. It seems to only be happening to our users with virtual/cloud computers. Specifically, we use…
Hi, we mainly use Revu 21 to edit pdfs and save in PDF/A format. We need pdf documents in PDF/A-2b format. Is it possible to convert a pdf to pdf/A-2b format? please explain how to do it? thanks Oliver
