Hi, during the Revu Essentials training at Unbound I had a few ideas: - double right click to go back to previous too used - similar to Autocad when having 3 tabs open, give the possibility to synchronize only 2 of them. To find a way to control the licenses after they were already purchased before double right click to go…
I have several users who are opening BlueBeam and finding their license has expired. I want to make a suggestion that BB opens a pop-up stating, "Expiration To Expire In X Days." Starting with 14-days and continues counting down until it states, "License Expired". See attached example.
Does anyone else have this issue? This is the second time this happened to me and my entire office… it is really starting to make me think Bluebeam isn't has beneficial as it should be. My contract/subscription included 4 seats. I am the organization administrator for all of the seats and was notified at the beginning of…
If a server goes down or there is a large DNS issue (like BB experienced today in USA), it can severely impact productivity. With the new cloud-based license subscriptions, if a user cannot connect to a server to authenticate, the software does not work. This is unacceptable for a company as large as Bluebeam to have…
Happy Friday, everyone! The Integrations team is happy to share that we have new Subscription endpoints, also known as Webhooks, available on the public Bluebeam Studio API. ⚙️ What's New These endpoints allow developers and partners to subscribe to activity and updates made to a Studio Project or Session while building…
A couple of features we could benefit from as account managers are: The ability to add subscriptions to our account throughout the subscription term without using a third party. And at the end of the subscription period, allow us to right-size or drop unused licenses. Our BlueBeam purchase experience is painfully slow. It…

It would be nice to have a tool that would (assuming both the X and Y axises are the same scale) calculate scale from a known area on the set of plans. I have had two sets of schematic drawings come across my desk in the last month alone, that did not have the correct scale and did not have any labeled linear dimensions,…
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
This might be a really obvious one but I can't seem to figure out the best way to do this: I frequently mark up drawing sets for estimates wherein there are multiple pass-through trades under my scope. What I want to do is to be able to do takeoffs for multiple trades, giving them each their own layer that represents them,…
Hi, I am allowed to join the Bluebeam max beta and I am about to and I am willinig to do so. So we were told to just download an install Bluebeam Revu 21.8. I am confused, how to tell I have the beta version? in other words, if I do not have the beta version, how to download it? maybe I missed the point completely. What is…
It seems sometime in Dec 2025 the invites sent out from the BB Session no longer has the name of the document in the session invite. We use to see "You've been invited to Studio Session (name of session)" all we now see is "You've been invited to Studio Session" the name is no longer shown. Is this a preference? or has…
If I put text on a page (text box or typewriter) and then use the Edit Action command to make a jump to another page, it will put a lightning bolt under the bottom right corner of the text box. Is there a way to make the lightning bolt to the right of the text? I have issues when I have the text in a list format the…
I use it a lot and would like to have it open at all times for quicker access. Even a keyboard shortcut would be nice, if there is one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -Wes s
Not sure if this is a bug. We are Fire Risk Assessors so are often need to either colour in a wall or change the colour of a door on floor plans. We also have to draw lines to show the length of a certain route. Here's what I've noticed: 1 = The fill colour choices for a Polygon are not the same as the Change Colour…
Cloud and Cloud+ color fills only are changing from 10% to solid. First noticed in a Studio session. When selected, the solid fill reads as 10% in toolbar and properties panel. If bumped up or down, it resets to 10%. The solid fills return after closing, leaving, logging out for all users. Comments exported and imported…
Hi I’m new to Bluebeam so quite raw, I’ve inherited somebody else’s toolbox, and I’m not allowed to change the items within the toolbox (company policy), so my reason for writing is within my toolbox there are lots of rectangles which I can’t rotate to line up with diagonal lines on my drawing templates i.e. school…
