I know this might seem like a slightly Niche idea, however, when marking up a drawing using the perimeter tool - converting lines to arcs is slightly time consuming in my opinion. An alternative method of drawing curves would be to create multiple control points forming the curve - once again quite time consuming. My Idea…
When creating a quantity link, can I filter items based on selected criteria? For instance, I have 5 subjects and each contains 10 label items, I'd like to display only the label items for the chosen subject. Currently, all 50 items are shown, regardless of the subject selected. Is there a way to achieve this filtering…
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.
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…
Hello, I'm pricing a job that has both LF measurements for wall base and Wall Area measurements for wall panels. I currently have a formula calculating Raw Material Cost (custom column) which is: Measurement * Material. I have multiple other columns building off this value to add various other data. (Mark-up on material,…
When clicking "New Count," an interactive dialog box should open, allowing users to input details such as Subject, Label, and options to select colors and styles. The fields should be customizable to accommodate various needs. Additionally, the dialog box should retain information from the previous entry to streamline…
Would be extremely helpful to have the option to save the summary to the same folder that the PDF resides in, and to be able to include this as part of the Config that I have saved. Currently the folder has to be navigated to every time in order to save the Markup Summary to the desired location. Would also be very helpful…
Hello, i flattened some new markups over the old ones however when I search with CTRL + F the older items still hit. How can I make sure these older markups are removed? I cannot delete them since theyre also flattened. See below for examples. Used the image search to find AE yet this is what is shown in the actual search.…
Hello, I've been doing takeoffs/markups on some projects that have large rooms that have the same quantities in them but the features are "mirrored" from one side of the room to the other. The "flip horizontal/vertical" for my markups kind of works, but not in the same way that i'd like it to work. similar to what Revit…
Good day, I'm fairly new to BlueBeam 21 so I'm not sure if this has been asked/answered before, but I've searched and for the life of me I can't find a way to do it haha Problem: I'm trying to link a lot (100+) cells to show data from pdf. They should all have the same "Total" and "Subject" from the tool chest tools but…

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…
