Top 4 Bluebeam Revu Features Every Electrician Should Know About

Bluebeam Revu is a robust tool providing a myriad of features beneficial to a wide array of professionals. For electricians, it has specific features that can drastically improve efficiency and precision in their work. 

Tool Chest

The Tool Chest is a feature that allows users to create custom icons for easy identification and layout creation. It simplifies the process of accounting for multiple panels, circuits, and devices on a drawing. Creating icons in different sizes and colors takes only a matter of seconds, resulting in professional-looking drawings. This feature aids in producing clean, easy-to-follow layouts for field workers. You can find Bluebeam Revu on the NOVEDGE website.

Calibrate

The Calibrate feature enhances the functionality of Bluebeam Revu. It enables users to upload a PDF version of any drawing, whether mechanical, architectural, electrical, or landscape, and calibrate it to a specific scale. This feature is particularly useful as drawings come in many different scales, and other software may struggle to read these scales. The Command + M tool measures the scale, allowing users to customize and calibrate any drawing or PDF uploaded into the program. This feature provides access to measurements in millimeters, meters, or feet based on the custom calibration upon upload.

Overlay Pages

The Overlay Pages feature is similar to Snapshot but covers the entire page. Users can overlay an entire page onto a second set of drawings. This feature aids in identifying or troubleshooting any issues between architectural and electrical drawings, providing a comprehensive view of both.

Snapshot

The Snapshot feature allows users to copy a section, such as the electrical drawings, and overlay them on architectural drawings for a detailed view. For instance, an electrician can take a snapshot of the electrical drawings of a unit in a condo and overlay it on the architectural drawings. This provides details like wall sizes, lengths, and depths. This feature proves invaluable for electricians and comes to the rescue every time.

These four features of Bluebeam Revu have made it an indispensable tool for electricians like Kaaron. By fully utilizing these features, electricians can save time, enhance efficiency, and improve the precision of their work.
