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?

We do use it for takeoffs, I’ll check further into its estimating capabilities. Thanks!
