I hope Bluebeam Revu could allow users to add Width property to Length or Polylength measurement and could therefore calculate volume of the measurement. This will be helpful for measuring thickenings, beams, and walls.
This week, we'll be highlighting the Rotating Measurement Captions feature in Bluebeam! It's a simple, yet mighty feature that allows a user to rotate Measurement captions. Here's how: Select the measurement markup whose caption is to be rotated. Click the anchor point and drag it to the desired angle. Notice that the…
When I create a polygon cutout within an area and then try to measure a sub-area within this cutout, a bucket fill function is activated, filling the entire area. Is there a way to disable this fill function so that I can manually define the edges of the area measurement?
This week, we’re highlighting Dynamic Fill! This tool makes it easy to quickly measure irregular areas by filling them in. No need to trace every edge manually—it’s fast and helpful for area and volume calculations. How do you or your team utilize the Dynamic Fill tool for quick and accurate measurement? What specific…
While reviewing a truss submittal, I realized it would be much easier if we could use a dimension string following the same format as the truss drawings. Truss drawings use a three-part format that translates to feet-inches-16th of an inch (see below example). I would love to be able to use this format when calibrating the…
Could there be a tool which could split area & length measurements along a line or polyline in a single action? In the below example i would like to split/separate my Road area measurement, as well as the linier measure for kerbs along the red line to allow me to allocate the markups into separate spaces/layers etc? I…

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.

Hello everyone, I am trying to see if I can change the default metric area measurement label on the system from 'sq m' to a familiar 'm2' label here in the UK. All the instructions, videos online, help searches are silent on the matter. Also been in touch with Tech Support and they were unable to help and suggested I reach…
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…
So it would be really awesome if it would tell you the distance from the last count you placed. For example… I estimate fire sprinkler heads. I use the count function for my head placement, to get the total number of heads required for a project. There are NFPA codes though that state how for apart or close a head is…

My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
Looking for a good way to migrate data stored in BlueBeam Cloud to Microsoft SharePoint site without losing any of the meta data along the way.
Hello all, New to Revu.. I've set the scale on the measurement tool, but when I measure a known size on the drawing, it is showing a smaller size. I've noticed that the page size of the plan is 8.5x11. It's the only difference I've seen from previous plans I've recently done without a problem. Can you advise what I need to…
Does anyone know how to print a markup summary to PDF in column form, but not have the (1) designation on any of the selected columns?
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to take a comment list and use the list to mark-up plans. We have a standard list in Word that has about 100 comments. I want to take the list and allow the use of one item at a time when marking up a plan. For example, one of the comments could say, "Provide rating where adjacent…
Hello everyone. To day I am posing a question that I hope someone can assist me with. In short what I want is to know if Bluebeam is capable of opening a File (any type at all) from a CAD program such as Microstation or AutoCad, and recognize a line as an actual line, instead of just as an image (PDF)? A bit of background:…
Now is a good time to "Revu" your progress on 2025 Bluebeam goals. Whether it be workflow review, tool improvements, or simply existing markup edits to align with the latest company standards we all could use a little reminder to look back and ahead in 2025! Feeling energized dialing back to the beginning of Q1 when I…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
can we please make sure to keep the add measurements , scaling and mark up tools to the iPad version of BlueBeam.
Greetings, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer. Hopefully I can get some help here. Is it possible to overlay and also compare two PDFs? When we only compare the files, we only see the cloud and sometimes it's not easy to tell what is the difference. If I can also overlay those PDFs, I can see the color…
