r/Revu

Last time I posted here it was Mac-only, and the comments were basically one word: Windows. Done — same app, both platforms now.

Some features that have been in the works:

• Measurements and Takeoffs — calibrate from the status bar, then lengths, areas, and an auto-count that finds repeated symbols and counts them in one shot. CSV export.
• Insert Map — type an address, drop a real street map on your sheet. The CAD Linework style renders it as pen-weight black-on-white so it looks drafted, not like a maps screenshot.
• MUTCD and other pre-built annotations.
• Plugins — the map tool is one. Authoring guide ships with the app; sideloading shows you exactly what a package wants before it installs.

I currently have a free tier with tons of features but caps at 3 measurements for a one-time payment (no subscription); no live collaboration yet, it's a local file-based tool perfect for smaller offices.

Mac + Windows is live at www.polypdf.com. Tell me what breaks and it goes on the list. Last thread's comments basically wrote this release.

Does anyone know how to make custom measurement tools with specific beam information? I’m somewhat new to blue beam and I feel like this would increase productivity x1000

Thanks

Hi y'all, if anyone is interested in a lightweight (financially and operationally) alternative to Revu, "FieldScale" is out on the Play store now. It's built to be used on the go, either via phone or tablet. The application is steadily growing and recently released a major update to support cloud synced, real time editing as a team. Or, it can stay entirely offline, sans account, if you prefer.

It certainly doesn't do everything that Bluebeam does, but if you don't need all the bells and whistles and want to save on the subscription, give "FieldScale" a try. It's free.

Would love any and all feedback if you think it's missing a crucial feature, or something doesn't behave the way you think it should. Hope this is helpful to some folks.
