Streamline Cloud Storage, Project Communication & Collaboration with Revu® 10,
the newest release from Bluebeam® Software
Construction professionals need every tool at their disposal to do what they do
better without compromise. Streamlining collaboration, cloud storage and project
communication enable architecture, engineering and construction professionals to
do what they do better. With several new features including real-time
collaboration with integrated cloud storage, hyperlink management, space
definition for automated tracking in PDFs, 3D PDF creation and markup to 3D
views – Revu 10, the newest release from Bluebeam Software proves that there are
no limits to what project teams can achieve with digital workflows.
“We challenge ourselves to create solutions that take digital workflows further.
Revu 10 is artfully designed to be undefined, allowing our customers to innovate
and demonstrate that anything is possible,” said Bluebeam Software CEO Richard
Lee. “Early feedback from our select community of beta testers indicates that
Revu 10 will definitely make a huge and immediate impact on how AEC
professionals work and collaborate.”
According to Eric Cleveland, a Senior Technology Specialist with Balfour Beatty
Construction, “Revu 10 will not only help enhance our current workflows, but
will actually allow us to change them. When we first started using Revu, we were
simply marking up and stamping digital submittals. Now, we are using it to help
manage drawing sets, annotate site logistics plans and communicate with multiple
project stakeholders, among other things. With all the new functionality in Revu
10, Bluebeam seems to be making this transition right along with us.”
 Store
Project Files in a Simplified
Document Management System in the Cloud
One of the most highly requested features debuting in Revu 10 is Bluebeam
Studio™ projects, an enhancement to Revu’s online collaboration technology.
Studio users can now store and share up to 5GBs of PDFs and other Windows files
in the cloud for free, with a subscription for additional storage space if
needed. Files can be viewed by users and invited guests, checked out for editing
and checked back in with changes, as well as shared in Studio sessions for real-
time collaboration with multiple project partners. In the spirit of true
collaboration, Bluebeam is enabling non-Revu users the ability to access and
markup files stored in Studio projects or sessions using the company’s new free
PDF viewer, Bluebeam Vu®.
New Links Enables Users to
Hyperlink Thousands of References Quickly
Many design and construction professionals use Revu to link related project
information together– including detail symbols to corresponding elevations, RFIs
to the area in question and more. The new Links feature enables users to
hyperlink thousands of references quickly and easily by defining and saving
hyperlink targets, called Places. Additionally, Links provides centralized
management and editing of all hyperlinks on a PDF. When a place changes, the
hyperlink can be updated once in Links, whereby all instances of that hyperlink
are automatically updated throughout the PDF.
Create the Next Generation of RFIs
Using Revu’s New 3D Capabilities
Revu’s innovative 3D PDF creation and markup capabilities enhance 3D
model-centric project delivery. The program now enables users to add markups to
3D views to communicate instructions about complex design changes, essentially
creating the next generation of RFIs. Additionally, Revu CAD and eXtreme™ add 3D
PDF creation through plug-ins for Revit® and Navisworks® Manage. Revu allows
teams to extract 3D models from these BIM applications to identify and share
design conflicts with the entire team in 3D PDF. Together, Revu’s new 3D
capabilities eliminate the need for every team member to have access to
expensive 3D applications, allowing anyone to share and collaborate on the data
in the PDF format.
 Use
Spaces to Assign Markups to Their Defined Location
For many project workflows, knowing the exact space in which an issue or
question exists is necessary. Spaces is perfect for bids, estimates and the
punch process, enabling teams to define and name areas on a PDF. All markups
placed within that named Space will be automatically tracked in the Markups
list, which can then be sorted or filtered by Space, summarized to PDF, Excel or
CSV, and distributed for bids, punch lists and more.
“In addition to these major enhancements, we redesigned the user interface to
make it easier to access tools and customize toolbars on the fly,” Lee said.
“Key menus are accessible directly from the command bar, with new pinning
technology to build custom toolbars that include markup options, editing tools
and even tool sets. Our single objective was to build a flexible and fully
customizable interface to give our customers the power to define how they work,
in any given environment.”
