Bluebeam Revu 2017 has some major improvements which we listed in our previous blog post. Below, we discuss the latest improvements to Revu’s measurement tools.
SlopeRevu’s Length and Area tools now have a built-in field for slope, adding a new dimension to your markup measurements. Slope may be defined by Pitch, Degree or Grade.Slope is particularly useful for things like roof pitch (Pitch); roadways and onramps (Degree); or grading and earthwork while landscaping (Grade).To use this feature:. Place a Length or Area. Select the measurement on the PDF, then open the Measurements. Scroll down to the Slopedropdown menu.
Select the type ( Pitch, Degree or Grade), then enter the necessary values.New Width and Height ColumnsWidth and Height columns have always been available in Revu, but they would only display the actual width and height of the measurements – the columns remained blank for markups. Now, Revu’s Width and Height columns will display scaled width and height measurements. Revu’s old width and height columns are now named Document Width and Document Height.To use this feature:. Place measurements on the workspace. Open the Markups List( Alt+L). If you have not turned on the Widthor Height columns, click Columns and then select them from the dropdown menu.Show CaptionsYou can control which measurement captions display on the page. In the Properties panel, the Edit dropdown menu (next to the Show Captioncheckbox) allows you to select the captions that you want to display.
This replaces the single Show All Measurements checkbox in previous versions.To use this feature:. Select one or more measurements. Open the Properties tab ( Alt+P). Check the box marked Show Caption. To specify which labels you want to appear on the drawing, click the Editbutton to the right of this text and specify the labels in the dropdown menu.Units Display in Markups ListIn the past, units for measurements were displayed in a separate Units column. In Revu 2017, units display within the same column as their respective values. A separate column for units will be included when the Summary is exported to CSV or XML format.To use this feature:.
Place measurements in the workspace. Open the Markups List( Alt+L). Make sure at least one measurement-related Column is selected to see the difference. Measurement. Height.
