Hi everyone! We're bringing back a community favorite this month—Shortcuts! The last time we ran a shortcuts challenge was back in October 2024, and a lot has changed since then. New community members have joined, workflows have evolved, and Revu has continued to receive updates and improvements. Whether it's a keyboard…
Attached are the AISC shape sections as polygons in Bluebeam toolsets. Scale of toolsets is 1":25". I tend to copy the shapes I use often into a Commonly Used Steel Shapes tool set with the same set scale that way I don't have to scroll the list to find a common shape.
Currently the "Ctrl-E" shortcut opens an email window with the active .pdf attached and the subject line matches the filename of the .pdf. This is my most used BlueBeam shortcut. Problem is Microsoft is pushing "New Outlook" on users and I'm begrudgingly becoming used to it (it's actually great for a lot of things BTW).…
We have callout tool set up with certain size of leader. Sometimes, I started with text box tool and need to add a leader later. The default leader size shows quite big. The font size is actually the same, just callout tool setting is 50% of the font size while the text box setting is auto. I can fix it. But I want to set…
Bluebeam Revu desktop is not letting me sign in. Clicking on the sign in button, pop-up will flash for a second and disappear. can someone let me know if there's any issue? can't studio Thanks!
Nowadays we get pdf plan sets that have the CAD Layers within the plan set, because of this I could isolate a curb line, pipeline, or building footprint, etc. Because of this is there a way to select layer/line type when completing a takeoff similar to CAD? A curb line is a perfect example where being able to select it…

Previously when using the polyline & polygon markups, while applying your markups the line would show up as transparent so you could see exactly where you are placing the control point. Now the line shows as a solid, creating guesswork when placing control points. This makes for extra work, as you have to go back and edit.…
We are having an issue where our detailers are sending PDFs of blueprints and they will not be grouped by page size. Where this becomes an issue is when we go to print, we have (2) different printers we use. One large format and one smaller printer. Also, occasionally they get a page size wrong, (use 12x18 instead of…
Please expand edit security function. Offer a forced security removal. Currently I need to open a file in another PDF reader and save it without security in order to do what I need in Bluebeam. Even if the end result is a watermark stating the integrity of the document may be compromised. Bluebeam reduced a 280,000KB file…
I am a 1-person company who uses Revu extensively for my various contracts with a license for Extreme. I am wondering if there is a way I can change my account's email address - the one I've been using is being phased out by my ISP and I keep having issues with it. I logged into my Bluebeam account but could not see a way…
Revert mark-up grouping back to totalling for the whole group instead of showing the quantity of the first markup of the group.
One of your fellow BUG members said it'd be great to have a workshop and show-and-tell meeting on creating Custom Tools specifically for Construction Owners. #1 Join the Construction Owners Bluebeam User Group (COBUG) #2. Take this Poll You will need to join the group to see/take the poll Thank you!
I'm talking about the user-defined key and value pairs (Document > Document Properties > Custom tab). The use of "key" and "value" suggests that one should be able to reference the defined value somewhere by calling the key. The only thing I can think of is in Labels and Formula Columns, but I cannot find a way to use them…
Hello - it is essential to our jobs that we have the toolbox feature and capture attachment to a markup on Bluebeam cloud for our Ipads. For our employees that already had Revu downloaded, this has not been an issue since we can access the old app. The issue is that our new employees cannot. We NEED ALL functions of revu…
Has anyone else experienced this? We use the person + icon within a studio session when we want to invite extra attendees. Their email addresses are added and then staff types a message which often includes critical information for the new attendees to get up to speed. But they are reporting that sometimes their invitation…
When a document has Form Fields (e.g. Tools —> Forms —> Text Box), the keyboard shortcut is inactivated. I can't use my regular keyboard shortcut. Normally, from my Tool Sets, I'd hit "1" for the green rectangle markup. I can still click and select them but I'd rather not to move my fingers off the keyboard….. Does anyone…
Hi We noticed today that a new column called "GoCanvas Status" is automatically enabled in all of our profiles. We understand that the current workaround is to uncheck the column and save the profile again. However, this becomes difficult to manage in our environment since we maintain around 30 different profiles deployed…
With the addition of (finally) a Canadian Studio server, I was wondering if there was a way to migrate all my projects that had been previously stored in the US Server over to the Canadian one?
This is probably answered somewhere, but search does not appear to be working I am and Admin in a studio session, but I cannot change the status of any markups even my own. The Set Status sub-menu in the right click is blank. Any idea on why or how to fix? Not been an issue till recently.
First Time User. All of these contract documents display fine in other viewers, but in BlueBeam, the drawn borders come apart and the right hand side has lines missing or skewed. Whats the fix?
Say you have a large floorplan that is divided into a dozen or so different areas (spaces). Is it possible (in any version of Bluebeam) to have a single legend that - simultaneously - shows the device counts specific to each individual space? See attached diagram for an example of what I'm hoping to do. Thank you wizards…
Recently, I've been talking with support about an issue where the layers applied to my markups, disappear. Screenshot examples are below. Not all my layers end up deleting, and up until now I thought they would when I pressed the save button, however, today was not the case. In my examples, I'm showing how the area…
when entering text in bluebeam max markup list, why doesn't it auto save and create a suggested list as you type like it did with core?In Bluebeam Revu, the Max edition differs from Core by focusing on advanced structural workflows. If your text fields and Markups list aren't auto-completing or suggesting past terms, it is…
Hi everyone, In light of the new ADA Title II regulations, many state and local governments — and the vendors who work with them — need their digital documents to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 24, 2026 (or 2027 for smaller jurisdictions). This includes PDFs that end up on public websites or portals. I’m trying to…
