This FAQ helps you get started with Bluebeam Cloud. For more general questions about subscription-based Bluebeam solutions, please see our Bluebeam Subscription FAQ.
What is Bluebeam Cloud?
Included with a Revu 21 subscription, Bluebeam Cloud is a suite of cloud-based solutions custom built for the AECO industry. Using Bluebeam Cloud, you’ll be able to comment and collaborate on project documents, in addition to managing your punch, RFI, and submittal workflows.
What happened to Project Rover?
Project Rover functionality has been incorporated into Bluebeam Cloud. This transition is reflective of our continued investment in new infrastructure and technology at Bluebeam and will contribute to a fully cloud and data-centric portfolio.
Are there different permission levels for users in a project?
Yes. There are three permission levels in Bluebeam Cloud: Admin, Member, and Viewer. A user’s permission level is assigned when they’re invited to a project and defines what that user can do within the project.
Is there a limit to the number of users who can be invited to a project?
Currently, up to 25 users can be invited to a project. You can remove users as needed to avoid maximizing the limit.
Can ownership of a project be transferred?
You can add multiple Admins to a project, but whoever created the project remains the Owner of it.
How do I upload my drawings to Bluebeam Cloud?
You can upload any PDF drawing to Bluebeam Cloud from a local device, or import PDFs through one of our integrations. Please note, this capability is only supported on the web app at this time.
How do I share access to my drawings in Bluebeam Cloud?
With Admin permissions, you can invite users as Viewers (limited functionality), Members (able to create punch items, etc.), or fellow Admins (full functionality).
Can I access Bluebeam Cloud on mobile?
Yes. You can use our web app on any supported device, or on an Apple device by installing the iOS app.
Does Bluebeam Cloud connect to Bluebeam Studio?
Yes. Studio Projects are automatically connected when you sign into Bluebeam Cloud with your Bluebeam ID (BBID). A project Admin can share folders and files from a Studio Project directly to Bluebeam Cloud.
Can I synchronize files in Bluebeam Cloud from a Studio Project?
There is no automatic sync between Bluebeam Cloud and Studio Projects. However, you can manually import your Studio PDFs in the Drawings tab.
Which Revu features have interoperability with Bluebeam Cloud?
Spaces and Hyperlinks created in Revu will remain functional in Bluebeam Cloud.
What happens if a digitally signed/certified or password-protected PDF is added to a project?
The PDF will load unless it requires a password to access it.
