We highly recommend watching Greg Schleusner from HOK illustrate how he uses Bluebeam to perform room level planning and how that data can be transitioned into dRofus for long term tracking and checking against design models. These are the very same key players that are currently pushing the limits of project communication and collaboration globally. Maintaining a current set through Bluebeam is a skill that every builder should know.You can expect to rub shoulders with technical professionals from the leading architecture, engineering and construction firms. Bluebeam is very powerful and it’s one of the most affordable tools out there. In the next part, I’ll dive more into how to use sets and explain Bluebeam Studio Prime. Select Top Level Bookmarks, fill out the additional settings, and hit “OK.” Check your folder and make sure the files are split up to your preference. Now that you’ve gotten your pages all set up, it’s time to split up your giant PDF to make it more manageable. Select your settings (Language, pages, etc.) and hit “OK” and you’re PDF is now readable! Additional Info: To use Bluebeam eXtreme, go to Document > OCR, this screen will popup: To use a free OCR program, check a few out on GitHub. Google even created an open source library named Tesseract which handles OCR. If you do not have eXtreme, there are a lot of free tools out there that can help. This is important for hyperlinking your drawing set. Bluebeam eXtreme has a really awesome OCR feature. OCR or Optical Character Recognition converts a scacnned or image format pdf into a readable text file. You should see the labels in your left menu bar correspond to the labels in the region selected on your sheet. Hit “OK” and let the magic bar process your multi-page PDF. Select your drawing region (Usually bottom right corner): Open the tab on the left and hit the layers tab. So, you just received a set from your design team and it’s one giant PDF file. Just a note before we start, you are going to need Bluebeam eXtreme 2015 or higher to do this. All have their benefits, but my personal favorite is Bluebeam! The price is right and it’s much more intuitive for a construction team.
To name a few: Fieldlens, FieldWire, PlanGrid, and Bluebeam. There are a lot of ways to maintain a current set electronically nowadays. This method though time tested, sort of draconic in our current age of technology. Back in the day, we used to slip sheet RFIs and new sheets into one huge paper set of current drawings. Whenever we start a new project, the conversation of maintaining a current set of documents always comes up.
