Play with Your Measurements in Bluebeam Revu 21

Working with measurements in Bluebeam Revu goes beyond simply capturing values. It is about turning your drawings into reliable data for decision-making, estimation, and design validation.

In our latest set of guides, we walk you through some of the most commonly used measurement tools and how to extend their capabilities using the Markups List.

You will learn how to accurately measure circular elements using the Radius and Diameter tools, refine your measurements, and ensure they align perfectly with your PDF content. We also show you how to go a step further by using Custom Columns with formulas to automatically calculate values such as diameter from radius or even volume for more advanced workflows.

Whether you are working on quantity takeoffs, estimates, or design reviews, these basic techniques are essential to utilise the full potential of Revu.

Read the guides and start making your measurements work for you.

*Hiring Alert*

Join Our Team

We're growing the team at Brighter Graphics, and this one's a little different.

We’re looking for someone to join us on the surveying side of our Digital Engineering team. No experience in 3D surveying necessary (but advantageous), whether you're early in your career and keen to learn something new, or you're retired and looking for flexible, rewarding work to keep you active and engaged, we’d love to hear from you.

Here's what the role looks like in practice:

You'll be out on site, different locations, different projects, different industries, doing hands-on 3D survey work and representing Brighter Graphics with clients. We'll provide all the cutting-edge equipment, full training, and insurances. What we need from you is the drive to show up, the confidence to speak with clients professionally, and the reliability to get yourself to site and get the job done.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who values flexibility, takes pride in their work, and wants to be part of something genuinely interesting, whatever stage of life you're at.

Drop us a message here or reach out directly. Happy to have a conversation before anything formal.
