Instead of relying on emails, phone calls, and other external communication, Revu has efficient ways of preparing instructions for modifying markups and alerting a colleague about those instructions.

Some documents are complex and contain multiple markups for different disciplines and design milestones. We can group these markups into Layers that function similarly to layers in CAD and BIM programs. Layers can be turned off, locked, and toggled to print or export. We can isolate specific layers and turn all layers on with single…

We can turn this data into “Snapshots”, and these Snapshots can be saved to our Tool Chest for further use. We can also cut and paste content, along with simply deleting…

Snapshots with Bluebeam Revu
Our documents have flattened data that’s useful if we could place them into our Tool Chest. We can use the Snapshot tool to capture portions of our documents and use them as markups. The Snapshot tool can be used to create a rectangle around objects. If you have a polygonal object, you can use the…
