The Easiest Way to MEP Coordination in Bluebeam Revu

The Easiest Way to MEP Coordination in Bluebeam Revu @BIM.DESTINATION. The easiest and most efficient way to coordination MEP drawings in Bluebeam Revu is to pick an overall plan or per areas and then use the snap tool to capture all MEP drawings. this exercise can be extended to all other available drawings such as security, fire alarm, fire sprinkler, and low voltage. Reviewing MEP drawings separately in time consuming and does not provide high resulted analysis and might be time consuming to flip through pages but if all MEP drawings are placed in one location, MEP drawings can be coordinated easily and provide a better overall view on how changing MEP systems affecting different portion of the building down the stream. MEP coordination is always time-consuming and can be done in 3D BIM coordination but MEP coordination in 2D using Bluebeam would provide a new perspective early in the design process and would also help general contractors identify major issues while Revit models are under development. This is also can help field crew to have all MEP drawings info in one location and turning layers on & off would give them leverage on comparing only systems that are in question.
As Always, I would like to share all tips and ideas that are being represented in this video:
00:00 Introduction
00:38 - Tip1: All drawings must have similar scale.
01:15 - Tip2: Select a new PDF (ARCH E & Landscape are recommended)
01:30 - Tip3: Use Architectural as an underlay layer.
01:45 - Tip4: Use snap tool to copy and paste images of all sheets into the new PDF.
02:03 - Tip5: Select an identical scale for all snapshots.
02:16 - Tip6: Create a layer for every snapshot from each sheet.
02:37 - Tip7: Select each snapshot and go to "change color" to change source color into a desired color for each snap.
04:30 - Tip8: Lock each snapshot after layer creation and color change to avoid dislocation.
05:20 - Tip9: Use a common point such as a grid intersection to align all images.
06:13 - Tip10: Use "transparent" to remove any info that is extraneous.
10:41 - Tip11: Layer tab shows all layers. Any forgotten layer can be added later by unlocking the underneath snaps.
14:18 - Tip12: Creating Layers provides a leverage on turning systems on & off for better analysis.
