Measure lengths and runs using the Polylength tool
If you're using Revu 21, you must have a Core or Complete subscription plan to use the Polylength and Perimeter tools. For more information about features and functionality available for each Bluebeam Plan, click here.
The Polylength tool can be used to measure any length that has multiple points, regardless of its shape. The Perimeter tool functions similarly to the Polyline tool, meaning that you can add and subtract control points, and convert control points and line segments to arcs.
The following information applies to both the Perimeter and the Polylength tools. These tools function in the same way, but the Perimeter tool measures the total length of the perimeter, whereas the Polylength tool measures the distances between each point as well as the total length.
To use the Perimeter tool:
- Go to Tools > Measure > Polylength.
- Select all points of the object to be measured.
- The measurement will complete automatically once you select the original point, or press Enter to create the markup without closing the shape.
Create curves in your measurement while placing points:
- Go to Tools > Measure > Perimeter.
- Select a point on the object to be measured. To create a curve at the next point, hold Ctrl and drag away from the point. Once you have the desired curve, release the mouse.
Create curves in an existing measurement:
- Right-click the line, and select Convert to Arc.
To convert a control point to a curve, right-click the control point and go to Control Point > Convert Control Point to Curve.
- Drag the curve's control points to match the shape of the object you want to measure.
You can learn more about the Polylength and Perimeter tools in the Revu Help Guide.
