Bluebeam, Inc., a Nemetschek Group company and leading developer of technology solutions for the AEC industry, has announced Revu 2018. The new update features a brand new modernized user-interface (UI), among other enhancements.

Leading Software in US Construction Market

Bluebeam Revu is a project efficiency and collaboration solution built specifically to address the needs of architects, engineers, and construction professionals. Bluebeam’s technology has brought paperless workflows to the “paperwork intensive” construction industry via intelligent PDF-based desktop, mobile and cloud based solutions. Smart PDF tools enable AEC pros to share critical project information, including meta data, with hyperlinks, bookmarks, images, attachments and 3D data downstream.
