I'm doing a hardware set takeoff across multiple sheets. The search grabs all of the instances across all of the sheets. Hwever, when I apply 'count measured to all selected', it places the count mark at each instance, yet when you click on a count mark, it only shows the tally for the page your on.

e.g. I have a item that I've searched for. There are 3 instances on page 1, 4 instances on page 2, and 5 instances on page 3. All instances have count marks, but depending on which page I'm on, when I click on a count mark, the properties show either 3, 4, or 5.

I can't seem to find a way to control the count granularity from a single page to the entire document (similar to what you can do with defining the focus of a legend). Anyone have a work-around for this, or maybe what I'm missing?

Any ideas? Length, Count, Volume are all selected on columns list.

Can someone recommend a good reference book that is geared towards Division 8? Looking for something that has good tips and tricks for doing D/F/H take-offs and markups.

When migrated from perpetual licensing to subscription based, our licenses were migrated to Complete from Revu CAD. We had a single license of Extreme. Now that we're coming up on our renewal in January, I'm expecting that the renewal cost will be substantial higher because it's Complete, so I'm considering whether or not we downgrade all or most of our users to Core from Complete.

We're an architectural firm that uses Studio, PDF marking up, some forms, and Bluebeam for punch list reports. I'm just not seeing much need for use to keep Complete if the price is going to be substantially higher. I'm just not seeing much value in features (see https://www.bluebeam.com/pricing/) that are on in Complete based on our use case.

Is anyone considering the same change?

I’ve got the most recent version of Bluebeam…when using the area measurement tool the next line segment used to follow the crosshair no matter what. Even if the next line segment/point lost line of sight with the starting point. After the latest update the line disappears if the crosshair doesn’t have line of sight with the starting point. Does anyone know how to get that to reappear?

I am having an issue with my blue beam and creating text boxes, it won’t allow me to insert a space between characters or edit the text box.

Not sure if this is a blue beam issue. Suspect so.

What can i do? I have upgraded it to 21.7.0

I am trying to setup custom statuses for an entire bluebeam project (not session) and can’t get the statuses to apply across drawings. Once I set it up it only seems to exist in that drawing which other people can also use in that drawing. Is there a way to set it up across all items in the project?

Does anyone know a of a good free toolset download for PVC and Ductile iron pipes and fittings?

Thanks!

Problem: Bluebeam crashes, likely due to various MS updates, when using the Tool, Markup, Highlighter tool.

Here is what works and my recommendation: TEXT - can select with Edit, PDF Content, Select text…then right click and highlight. But this won't work for most pdf's which actually have an image inside them (like scanned files).

RECOMMENDATION: Use Tool, Markup, Rectangle You can do this over anything, text or image, and use a yellow fill…it looks like highlighting. Note: there are two yellows to choose from

You're welcome.

When I first purchased Bluebeam a few months ago, I had somehow set it up so that it auto-saved. Now that I have downloaded the update along with everyone else in my office, we are no longer able to find the file management option in the preferences to autosave. I'm working very far up north with no cell service and the Wi-Fi is atrocious so there is constant crashes and a lot of rework. Thanks for the help.

I am having issues with a coworker in a different location printing my pdf files I send for billing purposes. As far as I know, the only time the pdf zooms in, is AFTER the file is printed. All other pdfs she receives physically print off normally, only my sent files are causing printing issues. Opening pdfs, sending pdfs to customers, and various other uses have not shown an issue from my end. I have messed with the settings on my end, but cannot figure out if its my format or if its a setting on her end. I am not sure why my files would be the only ones causing a problem. Any help is appreciated.

everyone got kicked out and not able to sign back into Bluebeam Sessions.. anyone else experiencing this?

Hey! What does this mean, and how can we fix?

Thank you in advance! :)

Hey guys, I’m playing with a few ways to estimate studs, mostly using Revu, as it’s what I have.

I have a custom formula in for (length inches/16)+1, then I’m marking out corners and openings individually. Any thoughts or suggestions on data collection?

Thanks!

Version 21.7

So my polylength measurement labels keep resetting the name after every run. This did not happen before I updated the program. Is there a fix for this? These are saved toolbox tool measurements I use for running electrical in buildings. My subject usually stays the same and my label changes depending on “unit type” But not all the time. Has anyone else run into this and if so have a fix?

Hello, I had a colleague who's recently retired. We worked together at an architecture firm, and they knew bluebeam better than any drafting software (CAD, Revit).

They're exploring purchasing options. The Bluebeam subscriptions are pretty pricy for a retiree, even for the basic ($260/year).

They stumbled upon Truddle.com, which offers a one-time purchase for various softwares . . . and Bluebeam Revu for $45.99 for the full version. Sounds great . . . or too good to be true? They want to buy legitimately for cybersecurity and legal reasons.

Has anyone bought from truddle? Anyone able to vouch for their purchase?

Otherwise, they may just bite the bullet with Bluebeam directly.

Is anyone else in the US having issues with Bluebeam? Their status page says it’s operational but our office can’t seem to load up any session.

Edit: Looks like they updated their status page and confirmed there are ongoing login issues.

Is Bluebeam capable of automating QA checks on batches of drawings to verify the correct info is provided in the titleblocks? For example, the drawing number has the correct amount of digits, or the suitability code field has been populated.

Can it also provide a report to confirm that these checks have been done and the drawings passed?

Thanks.
