you can actually download the free trial i'm going to use in side by side comparing documents and
overlaying pages from here guys i'm inserting so insert the page and in tools we're going
to find markup with some call-offs i'm adding the drawing document is ready guys don't forget
to flatten it we're going to put there in our toolbox chest so guys before i start actually
i'm going to jump into bluebeam and i'm going to start showing you the basic things today i just
want to show you here the the bluebeam page it's blooming.com i'm going to leave the link below
and uh what's good about it you can actually download the free trial i think it's for 30
days let's click it anyway yeah it's 30 day trial here but what i would actually recommend you guys
maybe after my video number four you just jump in here download this and try whatever i was
showing and plus obviously you're going to try wherever you can really and then you can master
bluebeam yourself and that's going to be very useful when you're going to be later on site
so let's go now jump into the blue game and i'm going to start showing you what it's all about so
guys that's how the bluebeam looks when when you turn it on really i'm going to open some pdf maybe
a control all for it i'm going to open a column schedule here obviously you can open your pdf just
from the desktop really so i got my columns schedule here i'm gonna open maybe two more
drawings concrete slab and the paving uh as i'm gonna be showing you maybe on these three drawings
maybe a little bit more i'm gonna show you uh the basic function so that's uh our pdfs are open now
and i'm gonna go guys uh quickly through here so once you're gonna press here review you can go all
about view mode uh profiles you can change the profile but what i'm gonna be showing you guys
and in my videos obviously i wanna focus on what i'm using the most and what you're going to be
using the most one working on construction site as engineer as a senior engineer as a civil engineer
but we we're talking about the working on site now and as i said after this few videos are we
going to jump together in the deeper journey and we're going to see how the deep the rabbit hole is
in terms of uh possibilities of bluebeam so you can see here you can create a new pdf here a
new pdf from template open control that's what i'm using here you can create something close save as
obviously this is the same options everywhere on each pdf editor each pdf viewer really
but i want to show you this so uh this is very simple you got option edit here so as you can
see you got pan and select so once you got uh you're gonna press v you can select something and
then uh when you're editing then go pan here and you can move your pdf zoom in zoom out obviously
once guys uh you're using the mouse here uh if you're gonna be pressing the control and
moving the reel in and out that's gonna be your zooming and uh i think that's really uh everywhere
but uh then you gotta select all that so i'm not using a snapshot sometimes say i'm using just to
send maybe something in the email so you can go g quickly sometimes using the snapshot to cut
something in and then paste it into the drawing as well but i'm going to show you this in one
of the next videos covering the basic stuff about the blue beam and then i'm going to go jump into
the view and this is quite important here guys as this gives you many possibilities how you can view
actually your file and then especially later when you're gonna be creating something when you're
gonna be adding the pages or deleting the pages you wanna see it a different way so as you can
see here now i got a continuous pages by default here and you got all shortcuts here so control
four control five not gonna bring you straight in the view so sometimes what i'm using actually
i'm gonna use in side by side so you can see how it looks uh you got a pdf side by side and also
continues by side by side that's what i like to use when i'm working with them with a many
pages and sometimes i add in a drawing here and i like to see all here together and zoom in and out
so that's very useful guys and then if you're going to go here what i'm using as well guys
and what i what i really recommend you to use sometimes i'm going to split vertical
and then actually i can open the different drawing here and i can see so sometimes quickly to compare
something i'm using this option here uh i'm not overlaying the drawings always sometimes
i i open really the two two drawings maybe even all the revision and the new revision and i'm
checking double checking quickly what really changes what you can find on some sites guys uh
some changes gonna be clouded by some changes it's not going to be clouded which is uh
done by designer this is mistake or maybe on purpose sometimes i don't want to say anything
but uh you need to you need to keep an eye on it and uh you need to keep an eye on every
every change really as there won't be excuse later that it wasn't clouded so it's not changed
so sometimes i use this speed vertical very good option uh as we're talking about the view here
we're going to be definitely using comparing documents and overlaying pages and overlaying
pages is very important but guys in the last video what i'm going gonna do i'm actually take a real
live job here i'm gonna i'm gonna take a few drawings we're gonna erase a few RFIs i'm gonna
i'm gonna do a few markups you're gonna take area measurements and all the stuff so just wait for it
but i wanna go there step by step so we're gonna know exactly what we're doing and then from the
view options guys uh the the very important thing is here uh snap content and as you can see here
uh i got i got it on so this is all on by default snap to content when we're gonna be measuring when
we're gonna be uh drawing some lines wherever we're gonna use it uh i'm gonna show you maybe
just quickly i'm going to draw the line you can see here uh there is a small like square
showing it's very similar to autocad but it's it's actually catching the the crossing so it's very
very good guys i got it on all the time anyway and whatever i'm doing the marking this is very useful
uh snap to markup snap to grid you can show grease you can turn on grid as well uh you can see the uh
you can see it now maybe i closed this one now we don't need it so degree i'm not using it typically
guys uh i'm gonna focus what what you're going to be using on site when operating as a site engineer
as a civil engineer senior engineer as well so i'm going to turn it off now i don't need the grid and
i'm going to jump guys now into the document here it's got a page setup rotate page all the stuff
and what i'm using from here guys i'm inserting so insert the page uh pages from documents so you can
actually insert it and going to ask us from where we want to bring the page so i'm going to go out
maybe i'm going to add the slab here to this drawing here so i'm going to open it
i'm going to press ok now and you see here that on the paving page this one so once i'm going to
go back here quickly when i show you the view of the side by side you can see now that's the two
drawings now so i added this one so it's very very very useful thing as well i'm always doing this
and especially when i'm doing some call-offs i'm adding the drawing into the call-off and sometimes
extracting the pages from the call-off and adding some pages as well so you got the replace pages
uh i never use it to be honest i just did it and bring another one so that might be useful as well
crop pages all this stuff from here i will be that that will be all guys obviously we're gonna
go deeper into this uh when we're gonna be moving on and on and what i'm using from here as well i'm
going to use in the flattened document flatten unflattened so once my document is ready guys
don't forget to flatten it and then send it the really good thing about it this is a ready pdf
then so no one going to be moving your markups and all the stuff and especially the most important
thing about it it's not going to weigh so much so the file can be sent later it's not going
to be so huge that you cannot really send it in the email and all the stuff so that's actually
shrinking the the amount of kilobytes of megabytes you've got a batch here uh crop pages rotate pages
headers footers i'm not using it really guys we just want to check the drawings we're doing the
markups we're going to some ask some questions one sending rfis so i would actually guys leave this
is not very much here to show and now we're going to jump into the most important thing
guys which is tools and in tools we're going to find markup and once you're going to jump
in markup here you're going to see we got all the markups here with the abbreviation you're going to
be using some abbreviation definitely as well the arrow text was 80 and it's very very easy to use
so you can see here uh text box you got a typewriter i'm not using this i'm not using
pen too much but you got line here you got the arrows once you want to show something
you're going to press a and we're going to do the arrow and then you've got an arc polyline
rectangle and i mostly use a rectangle and polygon really in terms of markups and all the stuff and
cloud if you want to change something cloud i'm not using it we are we typically asking the
questions so uh once we're gonna go quickly here we just we just press a for arrow and then t for
text for instance and we're gonna ask something but these guys i'm gonna cover in the next video
anyway when we're gonna be setting our tools and what the great thing is about the bluebeam here
once you're gonna be using your tools and once you're gonna set your stuff wherever the way you
want it whatever settings you're gonna put we're gonna be creating our toolbox and the the most use
options guys we're gonna put there in our toolbox chest and then pressing one two three four five
wherever you're gonna peek you're gonna see how easy it is how great it is so in tools as well
uh we got a stamp uh i i'm not using it uh but you see you can approved date whatever it might
be useful maybe for architects or for some m e engineers when it's the latest drawing something
uh it's proof coming back from the designers very it's very good as well and we gotta measure here
but measure it's that's i think that the greatest thing about the blue beam really you got this
measure option here and all the calibration all the scaling but this i'm going to cover in one of
the next videos as this is going to be the biggest one here but you can see you got the length poly
length area perimeter all the stuff we need really when we're going to be doing some takeoffs uh
we're going to be measuring how much concrete we need and all this stuff and we got a sketch
to scale i'm i'm not using the sketching too much really form signature it's uh it's not
used much by me personally and then toolbars here status alignment all this stuff but as i said guys
that's gonna be all video covering uh the markups and the measure separately so guys just quickly
here on an interface you're gonna see here we got the measurements here and as i said we're gonna
go all through it step by step so measurements here uh we got the recent files open uh what's
interesting here uh we got this is here our my tools so that's gonna be our toolbox chest here
chess box with our tools and the settings when we're gonna be doing settings whatever options
we're using guys but i think that would be all in today's video you just see the interface you know
how to download maybe but wait with that download little bit till i'm gonna cover a little bit more
about it you see the interface it's very user friendly guys it's very easy to use you're gonna
see yourself once you're going to download it and start using you're going to get some drawings and
you're going to start doing magic things with them and once we're going to start overlaying
and all the stuff guys so guys if you enjoyed this video please don't forget to leave the thumbs up
leave some comments as well if you got any questions obviously i'm going to reply as
soon as possible and if you know maybe about some other pdf editor which is very good for
us engineers let me know please in the comments we're going to double check this as well but
so far for me this is the best one really and that's the one we want to use so guys
as i said thank you again for watching uh please don't forget to subscribe to the channel to grow
community of engineers here to help each other and for yourself to get more information and
prepare yourself for construction please follow my linkedin page as well as you're going to find some
information there and soon you're going to be able to download some stuff but for now guys i'm going
to be sending this to the emails as i said before if you're going to send the email on the site dot
community at gmail.com i'm gonna be sending you whatever i got and as i said i'm preparing
drawings i got that spreadsheet for the local global grid so uh don't hesitate to send me the
email and i'm gonna send you back the information so thank you again guys and see you next time
