Markups

Import PDF review comments into Revit. Add internal notes that don't print. Keep your coordination traceable and your sheets clean.

Get MarkupsCompatible with Revit 2024–2026

Two Core Problems Solved

A

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
B

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
