Bluebeam Tip: Optimizing Project Workflow with Dynamic Legends in Bluebeam Revu

Dynamic Legends in Bluebeam Revu automatically update to reflect the markups present in your document, allowing you to keep project details organized with minimal effort. This feature eliminates the tedious task of manually creating multiple legends for different markups, and helps your team reach a clearer understanding of drawing revisions.

Here are a few best practices:

  • Set Up Your Legends Early: Right-click within the Markups List, select “Create Legend,” and choose the properties, such as columns and label styles. Ensure your legend matches the specific needs of your project.
  • Maintain Consistency: Use existing tool sets or create new ones to standardize your markup symbols and colors. Once you have a legend that reflects your standards, you can save it as a preset.
  • Leverage the Legend for Clarity: Adding legends across multiple pages can help stakeholders distinguish between different markup statuses, reducing confusion and increasing efficiency.
  • Adapt with Project Changes: Whenever markups are added or removed, your legend automatically updates. This dynamic feature helps maintain accuracy without rework.
  • Refine and Format: Customize font, size, and colors to ensure your legend remains visually appealing. You can also filter out markups you do not want displayed.

By incorporating dynamic legends into your workflow, you reduce the likelihood of errors and keep everyone aligned on the latest updates. For advanced solutions, visit NOVEDGE for a range of resources and Bluebeam tools. Their dedicated team is always ready to assist.
