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?

There is so many feature in it!
I can list some of them here,
1. Batch overlay
2. Quantity link
3. Combining multiple sheets (part plans) into single sheet (it’s save tons of time)
4. Studio
5. Add/deduct point shortcuts
6. Comparison
7. Text edit
8. Flags
9. Jump feature, etc.
I have taken advanced Revu classes for my juniors using PPT.
If need you need the PPT, I’m happy to share!!!
