Use Case
Reads the text content of every sheet in the active PDF open in Bluebeam Revu, locates scale notations printed beneath detail titles and numbers, and applies the correct page scale to each sheet via MCP. Sheets with a single unambiguous scale get it applied automatically. Sheets with no scale found, multiple conflicting scales, or an NTS designation are flagged and left untouched. Produces a full in-chat report in document order showing every sheet, the scale applied, and the reason for any flag. Never creates or modifies page labels. Use this skill whenever the user asks to "apply page scales", "set page scales", "bulk set scales", "set scales on all sheets", or any equivalent request to apply drawing scales across a full drawing set in Bluebeam Revu.
Requirements & Setup
Bluebeam MAX, Claude. Upload bulk-set-page-scales.skill file.
Overview
Scope: Every page in the active PDF open in Bluebeam Revu.
Produces:
- Page scales applied in Bluebeam Revu for all unambiguous sheets
- In-chat report in document page order showing every sheet and outcome
Step 1 — Read Document Structure
Step 2 — Search for Scale Text
Step 3 — Parse and Classify Each Page
Classification rules
After deduplication, count the number of unique canonical values per page:
Condition | Classification | Outcome |
|---|
Exactly 1 unique scale (not NTS) | APPLY
| Scale will be set |
0 unique scales (no hits found) | FLAG
| Reason: Scale not found |
2 or more unique scales | FLAG
| Reason: Multiple scales found — list them |
NTS or N.T.S. only | NTS
| Reason: Not to scale — no scale applied |
NTS + one or more other scales | FLAG
| Reason: Multiple scales found — include NTS in list |
Step 4 — Apply Scales
Step 5 — Generate Report
Section 1 — Scales Applied
Page | Sheet No. | Scale Applied |
|---|
3 | A1.01 | 1/8" = 1'-0" |
5 | A2.01 | 1/4" = 1'-0" |
… | … | … |
Section 2 — Scales Not Applied
Page | Sheet No. | Reason |
|---|
1 | G0.01 | Not to scale (NTS) |
8 | A5.01 | Scale not found |
14 | A7.11 | Multiple scales found: 1/4" = 1'-0", 1/8" = 1'-0" |
… | … | … |
Additional Information: Drawing sheets with multiple scales present will be flagged by Claude. Viewports must be applied manually in this scenario, until Claude has access to viewports.
