FAQs
What will I learn in Start Using Bluebeam for Engineers?
Start Using Bluebeam for Engineers introduces the Bluebeam Revu workflows engineers use to manage drawing revisions, review plans, take measurements, and communicate project information. You will learn how to navigate the interface, use and customize markups, manage drawing sets, slip sheet revisions, compare documents, set scale, take measurements, and organize markup data for project coordination.
How do I update revised drawing sets in Bluebeam Revu?
Use Batch Slip Sheet in Bluebeam Revu to update multiple drawings with revised files more efficiently than replacing pages one at a time. The tool can match current and revised pages by file name, page label, page index, or page region, then either replace current pages or insert revised pages while retaining the prior version for reference and quality control.
How do I compare revised drawings or check for coordination clashes in Bluebeam Revu?
Use Overlay Pages in Bluebeam Revu to stack two or more drawings in different colors and visually identify changes between revisions or potential clashes between disciplines. You can use Auto Align to align drawings that are offset or different sizes, then toggle layers to review how architectural, mechanical, electrical, or other plans interact.
How do I find and count repeated symbols or objects in Bluebeam Revu?
Use Visual Search in Bluebeam Revu to locate matching visual content, such as doors, light fixtures, or other repeated symbols, across a drawing. You can adjust sensitivity and search options, review results, and apply actions such as count measurements, highlights, hyperlinks, or redactions to selected items. This workflow is especially useful for takeoffs, estimates, and plan reviews.
How do I receive a completion certificate?
Complete all required course content and activities to meet the course completion requirements. If a course offers a certificate, it will be available through your Bluebeam University account after the course is marked complete.
