Getting the Add-in for Bluebeam 3d Export to show up.

Hello

 

In Revit 2022.  I have Bluebeam Review on my computer.  I was hoping that this would enable me to export 3D pdf's.  But no 3d interface is showing up in my add-ins.  Can someone direct me to a step by step "How To" for getting this to work?

 

Thanks

ennujozlagam, This doesn't bring up any of the 3D options.  This will only print a 2d image of the 3D view.  Bluebeam and Revit can export an actual 3D model of the Revit Model that can be viewed and spun around in PDF viewer programs like Adobe or Bluebeam.

 

That's what I am looking for.

 

Thanks

Have you restarted your computer since installing BB?

 

It's been a while since I installed BB but I seem to recall having to associate it with the desired programs or at least getting the option to uncheck certain programs and you need to exit the programs during the installation.

You may have BlueBeam Standard. You need BlueBeam Extreme or BlueBeam CAD to export 3D PDF.

 

In blue beam click Revu drop down and the About

If it says Standard you are out of luck

 

If its NOT Standard go to Start -> Blue Beam Administrator and on the Plugins tab check Revit

That's interesting... My Revit plugin is greyed out in blue beam administrator. When I looked up why - according to blue beam you cant with a standard license....

 

https://support.bluebeam.com/articles/plugins-grayed-out-in-bluebeam-administrator/

 

Problem
Plugins are grayed out in the Bluebeam Administrator and can’t be selected.

Causes
The use of plugins requires a license of Revu CAD, Revu eXtreme, or an active trial of Revu. Your plugins may be grayed out because:

Your computer has applications that are compatible with Revu plugins, such as AutoCAD or Revit, but the registered license is Revu Standard.

 

@RSomppi if you have some magic trick to make it happen - tips will be greatly appreciated

In the administrator, the grayed out programs already have BB plugged it.

Hi,

Yes, it works for all the other software. But I have installed the Revit 2024 and it's not shown there. Can you please suggest?

 

Thanks.
