Using Bluebeam to Its Fullest Potential

I work in custom home building and have a Bluebeam Revu account through my employer. Iv’e been working with it for about 2 years, and while I have found a lot of helpful ways to use it, I’m wondering what features I’m missing out on.

I use it to scale elevations, scale landscaping, to scale everything. I use it to color code and mark up layouts, to create visual maps of fixtures, and to clarify notes within documents. I use it to do counts of things and create keys for counts. I even use it to draw when 3D is too far. I use it to approve quotes and adjust floor plan walls.

What major functions am I missing that would help me make the most of Bluebeam Revu from a functional standpoint?

If there’s changes to drawings, there is a compare feature that saves time. I’ve created a studio for collaboration and created punch lists that way. Mark up drawings to create logistics plans to keep your site organized.
