Scale and Calibration
Course 1 of 3 in Quantity Takeoff
Calibrating scale in Bluebeam Revu lets you take accurate measurements directly off PDF drawings; essential for takeoffs, estimates, and field verification. This course walks through setting a known distance, choosing units, calibrating per page or per document, and verifying accuracy. By the end, you'll be measuring with the same precision as the original drawing.
Overview
Accuracy and efficiency win projects for your organization when it comes to preparing bids. In this course, you will discover how to set the scale of your documents so that when you eventually use Revu's measurement tools, your measurements will be as accurate as possible.
Details
This course is designed for estimators who require accurate measurements and a wealth of data needed to create better bids. Work at your own pace, using videos, PDF activities, software simulations, quizzes, and more to learn the ins and outs of Revu and decrease your time to productivity.
