Bluebeam Tip: Enhance Efficiency with Dynamic Fill for Accurate Area Calculations in Bluebeam Revu

Maximize your efficiency in Bluebeam Revu by mastering the Dynamic Fill tool for area calculations. This powerful feature allows you to quickly and accurately measure complex shapes and spaces within your PDFs.

Here's how to use Dynamic Fill:

  • Access the Dynamic Fill Tool: Navigate to the Measure tab and select Dynamic Fill from the toolbar.
  • Set the Boundary: Use the Add Boundary tool to trace closed shapes or select existing lines to define the area you want to calculate.
  • Fill the Area: Click on the Fill tool and click inside the boundary you've set. The tool will automatically detect and fill the space.
  • Apply Measurement: Once the area is filled, choose the appropriate measurement markup, such as Area or Volume, and click Apply. Bluebeam Revu will generate the measurement based on the filled area.

Tips for Optimal Use:

  • Adjust the Fill Settings: Use the settings panel to adjust the Fill Sensitivity and ensure accurate detection of boundaries, especially in complex drawings.
  • Save Time: Dynamic Fill is excellent for irregular shapes that would be time-consuming to measure manually.
  • Combine with Tool Chest: Save commonly used measurement markups in your Tool Chest for quick access and consistency across projects.

By incorporating Dynamic Fill into your workflow, you can streamline area calculations and enhance the accuracy of your measurements.
