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…
I would like to suggest a feature that would greatly enhance productivity in Bluebeam Revu. It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to import a list of layers from an Excel file directly into Revu. Use Case: I currently manage an Excel file that contains a detailed list of items for estimation, each of which…

Hi, I have a question about the "Visual Search" feature. I have watched the tutorial on how to use this feature from the Bluebeam University so tried testing it out for myself, it all worked fine until I realised that when I select an entity to search, it will only find and markup the entities above around the half way…
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…
