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…

Good lord why isn't there a way to lock the tool chest. Why are tools jumping around from section to section. I am not doing it, it actually wont let you move tools the way that it is moving tools around by itself. Sooo frustrating knowing that you have built a tool, to find it missing and then to re-find it in an entirely…
Hi all, Looking for a bit of help here with Spaces. I am copying spaces between services plans (Power plan to Lighting plan etc.) so identical building layout, but the space is often rotated by 90° regardless of page rotation. I have read the community posts on Rotating pages, but even if I copy the spaces (even grouped,…
When editing the font size using the Font Toolbar (not the properties toolbar that shows up when editing text), if I single click the font to edit the size, then use my keyboard to enter a double digit number, the font size will automatically enter only the first digit. For example, if I want to change the font from 12 to…
Hi, I have a question regarding the "recover unsaved changes" window. In this window, there is a "recover" button but whatever I do, it always stay "unclickable". What is this button for? I have always been confused by this window because I thought I would have to select the files and click on "recover" but in fact, we…
I have an associate that is using a pdf Form that we created for them to use. After he fills it out and saves it, the background of random pages turn from white to black.
When working with layers in Bluebeam, our estimating team typically uses the same template across all projects — about 15 main layers, each with multiple child layers. So far, we haven’t found a reliable way to transfer this full layer structure from one project to the next. We’ve tried saving the layers to a template file…
I created separate sets for my Arch, Struc, Civil, etc. drawings. It helps to have 2-3 open at once. They will open as a tab a the top of the window but only 1 Set is available at a time in the Sets window. Can I have more then one Set open and have is switch as I switch through the main window tabs?
Hi all, We're trying to automate the creation of toolchest for all of our clients and we're in the process of generating them from Autocad to the .btx format. Was wondering if there's any documentation out there for the btx file format ?
With no intentional change of software I have run into a situation that causes Revu v21.7 to be unusable for modifying PDF files. It only functions as a viewer. V21.7 has been working without issue until now. Multiple problems occur: All markup tools are grayed out and non-functional. The BB logo and the text "Sign In"…
I did a search and did not find anything. I am trying to get my company to switch for prints and highlighters to BlueBeam and doing take off. The first job is an airport distribution facility and all the PDF's plans are protected. All markup on the right is greyed out and I cannot paste out count symbols on devices to get…
