Hi all, I wanted to ask if it were possible to create custom measurement tools in Bluebeam? specifically a tool that would measure the area and the percentage of an object within a circle? I have drawn a quick diagram which I hope explains what I mean. But from the diagram a tool that will tell me what percentage of the…
It would be great if the standard MS Office keyboard shortcuts (ctrl shift - or ctrl shirt +) worked in Bluebeam.
Hello, it would be very useful if in the Create Page Labels menu there was an option to create page labels with content from a particular header/footer region. Since all my pages are different sizes/orientations, I have to go back through with the "create page labels by region" workflow for each different location to get…
Is it possible to create an offset button (function similar in autocad) to be able to place lines at a distance from a point, for example? For example: When calculating earthworks for a building, we calculate the soil 5m further than the outer perimeter of the building. Now I manually draw lines at 5m distance from each…
We (Stam + De Koning, part of Volkerwessels) are exploring if Bluebeam Revu 21 is suitable for implementing 5D-BIM within our workflow of calculating construction projects. The main requirement is to substract reliable BIM-data based on IFC (OpenBIM). Based on my previous contact with the Technical Support Team (Adam…

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…
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.
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…
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…
