Good Day Bugs-We recently changed from Adobe to BB. I needed to reduce a large size pdf. It seemed easy to do, and was happy to see I could do multiple files at once. However, the files are still too large to email. 15-30mb. I have tried reducing again, moved the quality slider in the output options box and it still only…
A question for the ages in the AEC industry, regarding the abbreviation for UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE or UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED… Do you belong to team UNO, or team UON?
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…

It would be pretty dope if we could import a block library of symbols we use in CAD as stamps or markup tools in Revu rather than having to recreate each one or use snapshot. Also, if we could integrate linetypes instead of creating them from scratch, that would be amazing. 🙏 Sincerely, a CAD Manager who deploys and trains…

I created a new set with a set of 7 sheets; I then did slip batch to add 4 revised sheets. I saved that set file but then deleted it because I realized that it did not match one sheet (sheet name changed), but I would still like for that one sheet to supersede the old one with the same sheet number. When I go try to create…
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…

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…
What’s the Best Way to Measure LF on a Curved Wall?
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
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,…
It seems like every other day, Bluebeam requires me to sign in. AutoDesk doesnt. 365 doesnt. Please, please, please, have it stop. I use bluebeam on one machine, and it should know by its IP address and that its not be used fraudulently. Fix this!
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…
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
