Bluebeam Tip: Enhance Measurement Efficiency with Bluebeam Revu's Dynamic Fill Tool

The Dynamic Fill Tool in Bluebeam Revu offers a highly efficient way to calculate areas within complex designs. By automating region detection, it spares you from manually tracing boundaries and helps ensure precise measurements. This tool proves especially helpful when estimating materials or verifying floor areas, saving valuable time on any project.

To get started, open the Measure panel and select Dynamic Fill. Next, define a boundary by choosing a fill range that suits your drawing’s scale. The tool then detects enclosed regions automatically. Once highlighted, simply click Create Spaces or Create Area to generate instant measurements. Rather than second-guessing measurements, trust the tool’s precise capture of details.

You can also adjust fill sensitivity in the Properties to refine boundary detection. For irregular shapes, apply custom boundaries for even greater control. The ability to shift between perimeter and area calculations grants you flexibility for different measurement needs.

Consider these useful tips:

  • Use boundary lines to portion out specific regions you want measured.
  • Double-check sensitivity when dealing with tightly drawn layouts.
  • Experiment with dynamic fill colors for better visibility.
  • Apply the Create Volume feature when working with 3D drawings.
