FAQs
What will I learn in Start Using Bluebeam for Everyone Tier 2?
Start Using Bluebeam for Everyone Tier 2 expands on everyday Revu workflows with workspace customization, advanced tool set management, basic measurements, and more detailed issue documentation. You will also learn how to create custom stamps, use formula columns for calculations, and configure custom statuses to track review progress.
Should I complete Start Using Bluebeam for Everyone Tier 1 before taking this course?
This course builds on the skills introduced in Start Using Bluebeam for Everyone Tier 1. You should be comfortable navigating Revu, placing and customizing common markups, and using the Tool Chest and Markups List. If those tools are new to you, begin with Start Using Bluebeam for Everyone Tier 1 before moving on to these more detailed workflows.
How can I customize Bluebeam Revu for my workflow?
You can customize toolbars, rearrange panels, and save your interface layout as a Profile. This course also explores Preferences for markup navigation, comment formatting, automatic text box sizing, and drawing display. Revu Preferences are separate from Profiles, so you will learn why they should be backed up separately.
How do I organize and share reusable tool sets in Bluebeam Revu?
Use the Tool Chest to organize saved tools, adjust their properties, and choose between Properties Mode and Drawing Mode. You will learn how to import and export .btx tool set files, scale symbols to match a calibrated drawing, pin a tool set to a toolbar, and share tool sets and Profiles with project partners.
Will I learn how to measure drawings and calculate material costs?
Yes. The course introduces Length, Area, and Count tools for measuring drawings and tracking quantities. A separate formula column example shows how to calculate flooring material costs from measurement data and material values in the Markups List. The example uses prepared material data so you can focus on building and formatting the calculation.
How can I add more context to issues and design changes?
Use Arc Segment to reshape a Polyline around a curved condition, Cloud+ to combine an outline with an explanatory callout, and Snapshot to show copied drawing content as visual context. You will also learn how to attach and annotate photos with Capture, then export the images or include them in a report for sharing.
How do custom stamps and statuses support review workflows?
Custom stamps let you create reusable review labels and add dynamic information such as the user and date. Custom statuses help you communicate the current state of a markup with workflow-specific states and colors. This course shows how to create and apply both, including how to review status history in the Markups List.
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.
