Bluebeam Tip: Effective Management of Scale and Units for Accurate Measurements in Bluebeam Revu

When working with measurements in Bluebeam Revu, ensuring that your scale and units are correctly set is crucial for accuracy and efficiency. Here are some tips to manage these settings effectively:

• Set the Correct Scale: Before measuring, verify that the scale is set to match the drawing scale. Go to Tools > Measure > Set Scale to input the correct scale.
• Calibrate Your Tool: If the scale is not known, use the Calibrate feature to set the scale based on a known measurement. Select two points on the page and enter the known dimension.
• Consistent Units: To maintain consistency across your project, confirm that the units of measurement match the project requirements. This can be done through Settings > Preferences.
• Use Custom Scales: If you're working on a project with non-standard scales, create and save custom scales in Revu for future use.
• Check the Units: Always double-check the units before measuring, especially when working with international documents where units may differ (e.g., metric vs. imperial).
• Save as a Profile: If you regularly work with specific scales and units, save these settings as a profile for easy application to future documents.
• Scale in Page Setup: For printing, ensure the scale is set correctly in the page setup to avoid scaling the PDF content inadvertently.
