The functionality that currently exists within the Markups List to add custom columns is not available in the 3D Model Tree when using the CAD plugin feature to generate a 3D model directly from a Navisworks file. This would be helpful to add custom columns that can be edited in order to assign a "group" name to a…
If not possible to be enabled while using ALL measurement markups, at least it can be used in counting materials like fittings, or fixtures.
How do I save a 3d model tree with just the columns that I choose? I have tried saving as a new view and then saving the pdf but when I open the pdf again the 3d model tree has reset to its defaults. I would like to send the pdf out to my team and clients so that they are able to just open without the need to set anything…
Is there a way to create a 3D drawing from scratch? Basically would be similar to a CAD drawing, I suppose.
It would be great when you export a 3D PDF from Revit, that the colors that appear on the Revit window match what the colors are in the 3D PDF. Currently, exports from Revit only take their native material colors and overrides in the 3D viewport do not transfer. Frequently, colors are altered for emphasis and changing the…

log in I am really tired of having to log into Bluebeam every time I open it. Please figure out another way. This is the only application on our PCs that require this.
Just started happening after I had to do a preferences reset. Each time I open a existing pdf file on my companies server, I get the error that the file is locked by another user. I know that it is not, so I click retry, and it opens just fine. Happens again even after closing the file and then attempting to open it again.…
Hi everyone – I’m new here and excited to learn from this group. I work with a lot of teams in construction and government who are moving toward tighter IT security policies — especially removing local admin rights for end users. One thing I’ve noticed is that Bluebeam (and sometimes other tools) can get tricky in that…
I have some drawings where the Pan Tool (hand icon) works like this - 1)Left mouse button held, hand grabs whole drawing and moves it around. Mouse scroll wheel zooms in and out. I have other drawings where it works like this- 2) Left mouse button held, hand grabs whole drawing and moves it around (same). Mouse scroll…
Is it possible to remove restrictions on a PDF file in Bluebeam? I frequently download PDF files from many manufacturers and they often put security restrictions on them which is difficult to share with other trades/collaborators. I've tried using online PDF tools but they only let you remove security on a couple files at…
