Hello - Does anyone know of any companies that review the quality of construction drawings prior to construction? Any that utilize AI? Thank you!
Hi Community, I have a large page count PDF overlay project comparing two drawing sets. The sets have jumbled the pages between them and I have to align pages to do the overlay. I don't want to do batch overlay as I need the layers to toggle, nor did that work anyway. My idea, is since I have to rearrange the pages to get…
Georeferenced PDFs are not a new thing, but it was surprising to me that these files do not have supporting tools in Bluebeam. The company I work for has been evaluating the benefits of switching our standard PDF editor/viewer from Adobe to Bluebeam, and this functional gap was a downside brought up by one of my peers. A…
I use Bluebeam for electrical take-off and occasionally I need to replace the custom count I have in in place with something else. Lets say the duplexes in this area need to become junction boxes, or GFCI type. I'd like to be able to select count measures > Right Click > Replace count measure with > show tool box custom…
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?
It would be really cool if you could automatically segment the Dimension tool into equal parts. I remember in SketchUp that you can split a line into multiple points and it's very helpful when designing. In Bluebeam, I have a light fixture layout on a plan that needs to be adjusted. I'd like to have 3 lights equally…
Have you ever opened a file and tried to do some annotations and takeoff and it was locked with no permissions for the viewer? Are you unable to even print it to a .pdf or affect any change to it? Boooooo! Me Too. Looking for a workaround? I Found One! Aaaannnd, You're welcome. — If you have a other workaround, please…
In the latest update, the comment boxes seem to pop-up much more often which does not help our workflow. We create toolsets made up of groups of shapes and text boxes. When I try to double-click to edit the text, the pop-up box shows up. In order to edit the text, I now have to ungroup to edit the text. Is there a way to…
Hello, Please see attached. I am doing a rebar takeoff. I have a footing that is not squared. I have used multiply option to multiply my rebar lines spaced equally. however as you can see I have to adjust each line into the footing shape. Can you please create an option that I can trim all lines at the direction i want at…
When I bring in a screenshot, it is not to scale, and I need to rotate it and resize to try match the pdf content. For example, sometimes I want to take an aerial screenshot and overlay it over my pdf plans. To make sure it aligns I need to scale it correctly, and rotate it correctly. It would be very handy if I could…

Hi all, We recently experienced a technical issue that caused users to have trouble accessing Bluebeam.com domains. The problem has been fixed, but it may take a little while for the fix to fully take effect everywhere due to how internet systems store temporary information. Thank you for your patience as everything…
I have been using Revu to build quantity take-offs for construction estimates, I’m trying to clean up the organization and structure of the markups. I typically sort the markups by the subject, but I need to be able to re-sort the line items before I export the take-off. I can’t manually move items on the markup list up or…
Hi Bluebeam Community, I recently purchased two vacant residential lots in El Sereno/South Pasadena area to build at least two small temporary homes for families displaced by recent wildfires. This project will provide safe, dignified housing while survivors rebuild their lives—but I need your help to make it happen! How…
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
There should be a way to add layers in a pdf on blue beam studio to have to set them all up sheet by sheet then upload them is very time consuming each time a new sheet is added or if someone else adds sheet
I have recently been upgraded to Revu 21 and I remember my tools having custom properties applied for certain tools. Like attaching cost codes to specific tool chest items. I am not seeing the custom fields in the properties window now. Where did it move to?
I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
