Hello everyone! I'm a BIM manager at my architecture firm, and we're currently facing some challenges with Bluebeam sessions and assigning statuses. Each time I create a new document, I have to set the statuses again, which is quite frustrating. I noticed that when I try to save the statuses to a Bluebeam profile, the…
I have a profile that I have exported. When I try to import it to another computer, the file loads, but not the profiles. I've tried deleting the other profiles (although they keep appearing again even though they have been deleted). And just importing this profile. The profile works on my computer but when I try to upload…
Please turn status settings into an importable files like tool chests/btx files or hatch patterns/bhx files. It will make things easier when you have a user that prefers their own profile instead of the company provided profile. Currently, if the company's default statuses change, the user will need to load a new profile…
Did you know that double-clicking a Bluebeam Revu Profile (.bpx file) automatically opens Revu and imports the profile for you? This is the quickest and easiest way to have a User import a Profile. It is a very low impact for our non-technical friends and co-workers. 😅 It is much better than explaining how to click the…
I recently discovered how easy it is to export/import profiles (yay!) but, realized that this does not carry over everything. For example, our typical default markup is red, but, we want to provide another Profile where the defaults are green. When trying to set this up, the color override will change the default color to…
Hello, I would like to darken my grid so I can see it better. I just updated to Bluebeam 21 and I don't know if it's on my end or not because we just got new laptops also but in Bluebeam 20 when I drew lines and had the grid up I could see the dots clear as day fully zoomed in but now I only can see them if I zoom out to a…

Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…

Is there a way to apply multiple digital signatures to a document without having to Save after each signature?
After my last update… When I add a Dimension to a pdf the extension lines are way to long. Sometimes putting them off the edge of the page. I have: set and checked scale checked dim line and text size any ideas….
This is a simple question. When I've 'Checked Out' a document in my BB Studio Project and added mark-ups, does it automatically Save when I 'Check In'? Or should I click save first, and then Check In?
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
I was hoping to find a way to filter sessions by "My Status", so I can quickly see those I have marked as "reviewing" or "finished", but I do not see that as an option in any of the dropdowns that are visible to me. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance!
Greetings, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer. Hopefully I can get some help here. Is it possible to overlay and also compare two PDFs? When we only compare the files, we only see the cloud and sometimes it's not easy to tell what is the difference. If I can also overlay those PDFs, I can see the color…
What is the best way to track project issues? I have issues that are emailed to me by my contractor customers and need some way to flag it and remember to follow up on it. I am having too many emails fall through the cracks and are not resolved in a timely manner.
Hey everyone, first time post! So I'm a spec writer and am trying to convert pdfs into Word docs. Which is easy…except when Bluebeam creates the Word doc, all of the paragraph levels are assigned to the same Word styles. As an example, in the attached image all of the paragraphs are the same "List Paragraph" style in Word.…
