Bluebeam on the web allows you to add basic measurement markups to your documents directly from the web. The following measurement tools are currently available in Documents and Studio Sessions and Projects for the web:

  • Length Measurement
  • Area Measurement
  • Polylength Measurement
  • Count Tool (available only in Core or Complete subscriptions)

Information regarding any measurement markups added to the document can be found in the Markups panel. Any markups created using the measurement tools in web Sessions will appear in Revu.

Prior to using the measurement tools, users must set the scale in Revu before adding documents to Sessions.

Length Measurement

Calculates a singular linear measurement. To add length measurement:

  1. Open a document that has a set scale.
  2. Select the measurement icon.
  3. Select two points on the document to calculate and add the length measurement.

To customize or remove the measurement markup, do the following:

    • Line Opacity
    • Line Start
    • Line End

To remove markup, right-click and select Delete.

Area Measurement
