Markups
Import PDF review comments into Revit. Add internal notes that don't print. Keep your coordination traceable and your sheets clean.
Two Core Problems Solved
Import PDF Comments Into Revit
Your team marks up PDFs in Bluebeam. Consultants leave notes in Revu. Review coordinators add comments everywhere. Markups brings them all into your Revit model so you can see review notes directly on the affected elements—no more switching between apps.
- See exactly what needs fixing in-model
- Track review items alongside your work
- Close the loop faster during coordination
Internal Notes That Do Not Print
Sometimes you need to leave notes for your team that must not appear on exported sheets. Markups gives you internal-only comments that stay hidden from PDFs, prints, and client deliverables.
- Coordinate internally without sheet clutter
- Flag issues for teammates discreetly
- Keep sensitive notes out of exports
