🗓️ August 2025 Challenge - One Tool, Many Uses!
Hi everyone! Welcome to our August Monthly Challenge – One Tool, Many Uses! This month, we’re highlighting the versatility of Bluebeam Revu.

Open second instance of BB, lose all my imported tools/line types/hatches
I have over 20 tool sets, line types and hatches. If I open a second instance of Bluebeam, those tools do not show up. Annoying but not that big of a deal. The problem is, if I then close all instances of Revu, when I launch it again, sometimes all of my tool sets and hatches have disappeared (and they don't come back…

Toolsets not saved?
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….

Custom tools moving within the same toolbox when selected
I have a toolbox that is organized numerically by the markups label. Lately I have been having an issue where I will click on a markup and in addition to selecting it, it gets moved elsewhere within that same toolbox, sometimes by just a few spots, sometimes all the way to the top. This toolbox has many markups in it, and…

Tool Chest UX regressions
You used to be able to click the header of a tool set to expand and collapse the set, now you must click the arrow Additionally, you used to be able to see the color of tools in properties mode when the set is in Detail view; now the color only appears in symbol view

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…

Quick swap markups for Tool Chest item
I would love to see an option to: Right click on a toolchest item and quickly "Select all matching on current page" Once selected, right click, "Replace with Tool". would replace all selected with the toolchest item of my choosing. Would be separate functions, as this "Replace" function would be available for any manual…

Punchlist Setup/Template
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

Freezing/Lag with Custom Tool Sets
Hello, I am relatively new to Bluebeam and I am setting up custom tool chests by division, for take offs. I am only a couple divisions in and I am having issues with freezing/lagging if I open more than one tool chest at a time. In fact this is my second time doing these as the first time it caused my program to crash and…

Love the search and filter Tools feature, but does it have to apply to the image search as well?
When running a visual search, I noticed that the "Apply Count Measurement" to results is filtered by your last search within the toolchest. I would prefer that this did not filter the same way my toolchest does when running the search. Many times I want my chest to stay filtered, but want to be able to apply counts that…

Enhancing Measurement Takeoff Efficiency Through Smart Color-Coded Markings
I've built a fully personalized tool chest, but we're still doing takeoffs manually. For example, if a measurement is marked red, it would be great if any related markings or measurements could automatically adopt the same color. Take walls in buildings, for instance….. if we categorize walls as Type 1 through Type 6, and…
