Thank you for choosing idtPlans for your Bluebeam management needs.
Ordering Licenses
Upon placing your Bluebeam license order, you should receive an email in the next 24-48 hours from registration@bluebeamops.com with your license information. If you do not see an email within that time frame, please check your SPAM and JUNK folders to ensure delivery was not filtered.
If no email is present, please contact us immediately so we may assist you. Note that emails will only be delivered to the contact email provided by your organization.
When you receive your email from Bluebeam please forward it to Diann Fresa in our Business Office (diann.fresa@geocivix.com ) so that she may log the Serial Number of your licenses to expedite future license orders and maintenance renewals.
Installing and Registering Bluebeam Revu
Once you have received your license information, you may begin the installation and registration process for the appropriate team members using the link in your email from Bluebeam.
If you have downloaded the Bluebeam Standard trial, you can simply skip ahead to the Product Activation step of this process. If you have not downloaded a trial, Bluebeam should provide installation instructions with their license keys. Please follow these steps.
Note: Standard Bluebeam licenses are perpetual licenses, good for one workstation. This means that any user who needs the ability to mark up plans should have a license made available to them (either through an installation on their system, or at a system accessible to them).
Importing the idtPlans User Profile
Be sure to download and install the idtPlans User Profile prior to any training sessions. This will ensure all tools and features are available and in the same place for training purposes.
How to Import the idtPlans User Profile
- Download the profile.
- Open Bluebeam and go to Revu (listed in the top menu) and select Profiles:
- Click on Manage Profiles. A new window will open; click on Import.
- Navigate to where you have saved the idtPlans User Profile (.bpx file), select it, and click open.
- Once added, return to Revu > Profiles and select idtPlans from the drop-down list.
As an important note: If you open the .bpx file and it contains seemingly random text, please exit out of the screen and web browser you are using and try again with a different browser.
Helpful References for Advanced Usage
Please note that Bluebeam’s support system is first-class and many items you may need guidance on will be available through their support page. In addition, a large number of users across the world have put together quick how-to videos and posted them for other users.
Below, we have provided some quick references for commenting, measuring, comparing, and stamping. If there are features for which you would like more information, please contact our support team at support@idtplans.freshdesk.com. We are happy to help guide you to some helpful videos or walkthroughs that may help advance your usage of the Bluebeam system.
How to Calibrate Measuring Tools
Finally, please note that Bluebeam training is part of your plan review training course. During our training, we will review Bluebeam layout, commenting and measuring basics, and comparing documents.
Additional Bluebeam Orders
Oftentimes, we find that additional team members want to take advantage of the functionality Bluebeam has to offer after the initial licenses are purchased. If this occurs, please reach out to Diann Fresa in our Business Office (diann.fresa@geocivix.com). She can help adjust your license quantities, address questions related to annual maintenance, and more.
Thank you again for choosing idtPlans. We are looking forward to working with you.
