India's architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has changed rapidly in recent years as a result of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the industry. BIM is a collaborative process that combines design, planning, construction, and facility management tasks; it is more than just a digital tool. BIM…
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…

Here is a quick description of some tasks we would like you to perform in 3D Drawings. During this process we encourage you to add your own plans and explore 3D Drawings by connecting different floor plans to elevations. Experiment with the various features to understand how they can enhance your workflows. After you have…
We've had some new members join the experiment this week so it seems like a good time to post this quick start video.
Hi eveyrone, I sent out an email last week, but we have had some new testers join the experiment since then so I wanted to post this here to make sure everyone has a chance to fill it out the survey.

Many of my customers organize their Recent Files into Categories. What is the best practice to get this handy piece of user settings across into a new Bluebeam setup? I used Ctrl+K > Admin > Backup / Restore, but the Recent Files content seems to be not in the UserPreferences.xml. Anyone here to tell me where it is and how…
Hi All. i have reached out to the support team, but without getting the needed help. They wrote that the problem was due to the drawing being "large", but the problem is not connected to all large drawings. The Drawing is not responding dynamic to zoom, but keeps loding in small bites/fields, making the it slow to work…
When extracting pages, I currently have to either: Select all pages first, then use Extract [Ctrl+Shift+X], or Go to Extract and change the page range dropdown from Selected to All Pages. Is there a way to skip these steps and have All Pages set as the default so I can extract the full document with a single click?
While I do love the ease of the built in browser functionality in Revu, I'm wondering if there is a way to have a link that opens outside of Revu, in an external browser (ie: chrome or edge), and is connected to markup. I've found several issues with the Revu Browser Youtube links only play at low resolution Several links…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
Hi, I have just updated my bluebeam last weekend and when i am trying to measure, there is now a thick line which blocks the view of my clicking point. i have line weight disabled already. Its just when i am measuring via length, Polylength, area etc. it has slowed up my measuring process as i cant click on the points I am…
Hi all. Anyone else having a problem since the latest update, where you go to change a line size & it jumps up to highlight?
When I open a set of plans in Bluebeam, I get hundreds and many times thousands of items that automatically populate into the Markups List. I try to delete them but it won't allow this to happen. Does anyone know how to get rid of these or stop them from importing? They are mainly random labels, words or drawings…
When selecting a markup to use such as one that measures area for carpet, while in the process of using the markup tool, the wall lines are totally obliterated by a solid line that is impossible to see through no matter what the opacity setting is of the line. This leaves the markup a matter of guesswork as to where the…
Since the update, my area measurements have been messing up when I try to add a curve control point while measuring. I hold ctrl + click and drag and it almost always reverts back to a straight line when I release and adds a point where my cursor was holding the curve. Also, the lines/area disappear completely if I move…
