I have a set of plans that I want to run an overlay on. It's 30 pages and most of them are not consistent in how they were updated and the only accurate way to do it is to go into each page and individually do an overlay for a single page at a time between the two PDFs being overlaid. I feel like we would benefit from the…
Just realized this might be better on this forum, sorry for posting this from another area if that's an issue. I have a set of plans that I want to run an overlay on. It's 30 pages and most of them are not consistent in how they were updated and the only accurate way to do it is to go into each page and individually do an…
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…
Keyboard Shortcut Key Request: Add ability for the user to select a single layer to be assigned to a keyboard shortcut key for toggling on and off that layer. Example: Layers: Main document Overlay document #1 Overlay document #2 Right click overlay document #1 layer > assign to layer shortcut key > toggle on/off assigned…
Is there a shortcut to colorize snapshots? I use the snapshot tool quite a bit to take a snip of something and then overlay on another drawing. After pasting that snapshot, I will typically right-click and chose "Change Color" and select colorize and have it changed to red so I can distinguish from the snapshot and the…
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…
Please have the default settings for overlay feature actually work and apply to the pdfs I am trying to compare. otherwise, what's the purpose of the default settings?
When I try to overlay two documents, I have my default settings set to "all pages", however, I have to manually change each document in the overlay list to all pages. Why is this function not working? It used to work in older versions (2015).
This week we’re highlighting the Overlay Pages feature. This tool allows you to compare two or more documents by overlaying them, highlighting differences and changes with different colors. It's perfect for identifying revisions between versions of drawings. Overlaying documents can help you catch changes that might be…

Hi All, I have single PDFs of my Arch., Struc. and Civil drawings. I would like to Slip Sheet new revisions of individual sheets into these plans separately and still have access to the previous revision's sheets. Is this best done through Sets or is there another way. Sets seems to be used to combine single PDFs into…
Does anyone know if there is a quick way (or any way) to do a bulk 'Find & Replace' on a markup? For example, I have x number of yellow widgets on a markup but the specification changes and I need to replace all the yellow ones with red ones instead. I want to be able to tell Revu to find all the yellow widgets, delete…
By using the email feature, the emailed sheet took two weeks for delivery! Where are these files stored before sending or how did I initiate the 'send' button two weeks later!!:)
Is anyone else experiencing issues with their toolbars not displaying the icons in the order in which they have been set? I've only noticed this recently but, no matter what I try I cannot get the tools to display in the order that they are allocated in when you customise a toolbar. This applies to new toolbars as well as…
We have a team member who opened their own Bluebeam account. I need to absorb that account into my company account. How do I do that? Haven't gotten any help from Bluebeam when trying to ask them directly.
I see that there is a ellipse tool, but is there an actual circle tool? If so, where is it?
I would like to know if there is a way to search throughout a file or set to references a detail on a page? In other words, I want to do a reverse search from a fine detail, all the way up the drawings.
Hi everyone, I’ve been working with Bluebeam Revu for different construction projects, and while it’s been a great tool overall, I still run into a few challenges that I’d like to improve on. For example, scaling drawings accurately can sometimes be tricky when dimensions aren’t clear, and managing markups across larger…
Hi everyone, I’ve recently come across a few bugs while using Bluebeam Revu for construction estimating and takeoffs, and I wanted to check if anyone else has faced similar issues. Here are the main problems I’ve noticed: Measurement tools sometimes give inconsistent results when scaling drawings. Markups occasionally…
Is there a way to have an option to include the page number as a prefix when selecting a page region for label? Only ask for this because I often will create page labels based on page region but it would be nice to include a method of retaining the page number in the label for extraction as single sheets, the plans are in…
