Bluebeam Advances AEC Workflows with Integrations

Bluebeam, developer of solutions and services for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals, announces a set of product updates. From performance enhancements and new markup tools to expanded integrations, the latest releases showcase Bluebeam’s commitment to collaboration and productivity for its users. 

New Integrations Directory

Bluebeam’s newly launched Integrations Directory provides a centralized hub for Bluebeam users to connect with a growing ecosystem of third-party apps and plugins such as Procore Documents, Microsoft SharePoint, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Vectorworks. All subscription plans can use integrations.

With this latest release, Revu now runs natively and 30% faster on ARM-based devices like Microsoft Surface tablets and via Parallels on Apple M-series Macs. These updates ensure that teams working across modern hardware platforms can open, navigate, and mark up complex documents. It also makes it easier for Mac users to run Revu natively via Parallels, according to Bluebeam.

Markup and Tool Chest Upgrades  

Revu 21.6 also introduces new features aimed at reducing the time it takes to communicate project issues and streamline repetitive tasks such as Markups on Capture. In the feature Markups on Capture, users can now draw directly on photos taken in the field to pinpoint issues. Tool Chest enhancements provide users with multi-select drag-and-drop, and customizable punch keys now give users more control and speed when using reusable markups, the company reports. 

“These updates reflect our commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by AEC professionals in the office, in the trailer and on their job sites,” says Jason Bonifay, chief technology officer at Bluebeam. “Whether you’re syncing data across tools or just trying to close punch items faster, we're delivering solutions that remove friction so teams can focus less on workarounds and more on building great projects.”
