How to with Revu : Tips & Tricks | Bluebeam Cloud

Bluebeam Cloud is the online companion to Bluebeam Revu, offering Revu21 users the flexibility to access, view, and markup files from anywhere with an internet connection. This cloud-based platform seamlessly bridges office and field workflows, enabling users to connect to essential documents and tool sets directly within Revu—all through the convenience of Bluebeam Cloud.

In our last How to with Revu session we first began by having an activated and paid seat of Revu21. Once assigned a seat we can navigate to app.bluebeam.com

Once logged in, we are greeted with a screen stating that Bluebeam Cloud has changed since its inception. Notice how the previous: Drawing, Punch, RFI, and Map Field features are no longer available.

Past this notice you will have three sections of Bluebeam Cloud available to you. We now have access to the My Workspace, Studio Project, and Studio Sessions. Lets dive into each area.

My Workspace – Think of this location as your own personal storage to share and markup drawings outside of any projects. Do note this location is separated from your local disk drive and any Studio locations. There is another section for drawings that have been shared with you.

Studio Projects – In this location we can access any Studio Projects we have been added to. Do note that we cannot create or join a Studio Project from this web location. You must first be a part of the Studio Project before attempting access through the Bluebeam Cloud web application.

Studio Session – In this location we can access any Studio Sessions we have been added to. Do note that we cannot join a Studio Session from this web location. We must first Create the Studio Session or be a part of the Session before attempting access through the Bluebeam Cloud web application.

Studio Projects – When in Studio Projects we can access any Projects we have been invited to. Once in the selected Project, we can view the files just like we normally can. Notice how we can also check the file out in order to make changes. We can select the lock icon in order to begin checking the file out and make changes. Keep in mind once we check the file out, nobody else in the Project can access the file until we check the file back in.

Studio Sessions – When accessing the Studio Session tab we can view Sessions we are a part of and we can also select to Create a new Session. Selecting a Session will instantly join while selecting Create, we are greeted with a window to enter in pertinent Session details.

Example: We added a Session Title during our live How to with Revu webinar.
