Bluebeam Revu 2.0 for Mac is Now Available

Bluebeam Revu sets out to help you maximize your productivity, improve your project predictability and minimize your risk throughout the project timeline. The award winning PDF editing, markup and collaboration software Bluebeam Revu 2018 has released their newest version for Mac, MAC V. 2.0. This new version has many added features that help in your design and construction workflows.

“No matter if you are using a Windows or Mac computer, Bluebeam Revu is available to work seamlessly for both platforms”.

Intuitive Interface

The intuitive interface and simple navigation in Bluebeam Revu for Mac 2.0 is designed to put all the right tools right at your fingertips. Updated icons and UI styles enhance legibility and recognition. User experiences have evolved to reduce clicks, maximize screen real estate for documents and help users find valuable features more easily.

Menu Dropdowns

The new menu dropdowns create fewer clicks on average and make it easier to find features. The new menus are also more streamlined to save more screen real estate.

Panels

Panels are exposed on the side making them immediately discoverable and accessible without resizing elements of the UI, which disrupts visibility and flow. A single click on icons to open and close panels also allows for faster navigation.The Panels were updated to float on the side bars, slimmed down and ready to open for the necessary task. At the same time, these can be shown or hidden so that relevant tools remain available. This provides a simplified user experience making it faster for users to find what they are looking for.

Properties Toolbar

This is a new toolbar that responds to user action by providing contextually appropriate information and controls, which maximizes efficiency by automatically presenting the right tools at the right time. As different tools or markups are selected, users will be presented with a dynamic toolbar that provides immediate access to the most relevant and frequently used controls. Save more screen real estate by reducing the amount of workflow dependent toolbars, such as Font and Line Style, while simplifying workflows. . For example, if you were to use the “Overlay Pages” feature, you can click on “Document Menu” rather than searching for the specific tool. This consolidation also tightens up the interface to bring you more screen real estate to focus on actual work.

Dozens of unique configurations, including:

• Document Properties
• Markup Properties
• Measurement Properties
• Studio Project Tab Properties
• Studio Project Document Properties
• Studio Session Properties
