FAQ's
Q: How to transfer a Revu license to a new computer?
Ans:You’ll need to have both your serial number and product key handy to complete this process. They can be found on the License Certificate sent to the license owner from registration@bluebeamops.com. If you’re unable to find your license information, see Find your Revu product key.
Q: How to calculate costs with custom columns in the Markups List?
In Revu, users can create Custom Columns in the Markups List to calculate material costs for quantity takeoffs. In this article, we’ll go over how to create a Choice column that stores materials and their base costs and a Formula column that will automate your calculations.
Q: How to use the Snapshot tool to compare drawing sections?
Before working out in the field, some Revu users find it helpful to overlay sections of a drawing rather than comparing entire PDFs. For example, electrical drawings for a unit in an apartment building can be superimposed over the architectural drawings to provide more useful details such as wall size, depth, length, and etc. This method is also helpful for comparing markups on different drawing revisions.
Q: How to transfer your digital IDs to a new computer?
When backing up your Revu settings and/or transferring your copy of Revu to a new computer, digital IDs aren’t included in your back-up files. In this article, we’ll go over how to export and import your digital IDs to a new computer.
