    Host Bluebeam Revu with the CAD Tools It Works With

    Bluebeam rarely works alone. It sits in the middle of a design and construction stack, and you can host the tools it connects to on the same GPU-powered virtual desktop.

    CAD and Design Tools

    (Run on the Same Desktop)

    AutoCAD SOLIDWORKS Revit navisworks

    Revu 21 includes plugins for AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and SolidWorks, enabling PDF creation directly from these applications.

    Hosting Revu alongside your CAD and BIM tools keeps the design-to-PDF and markup workflow in one Windows desktop environment.

    Project Platforms

    (Connect to Bluebeam Studio)

    Procore Autodesk Construction Cloud SharePoint ProjectWise

    Bluebeam integrates with leading project and document management platforms, including Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and SharePoint, helping teams keep documents, markups, and project workflows connected.

    Locally Installed Bluebeam Revu vs Cloud-Hosted Bluebeam Revu

    Where a hosted desktop changes the day-to-day for design and construction teams.

    Factor Locally installed Revu Cloud-hosted Revu On Ace Cloud Hosting
    Access Tied to one machine or office network Any device, on site or remote
    Collaboration Files emailed or shared manually, version drift One current set, synced markups and Studio access
    Large bid sets Depends on each local machine Configured desktops with GPU rendering for heavy drawings
    Security Drawings on local laptops Centralized data, MFA, encryption, monitoring
    IT effort In-house installs, updates, and fixes Managed setup, updates, and support
    Cost Hardware refresh and upkeep Predictable per-user desktop, scale as needed

    Why Teams Move Bluebeam Revu to a Cloud Desktop?

    Local Revu works well on a single machine. It gets harder when drawings are spread across laptops, field crews need remote access, and every team member is on a different version. A managed cloud desktop puts everyone on the same setup, from any location.

    General Contractors and Field Teams

    General Contractors and Field Teams

    Site crews and office staff end up on different drawing versions. A cloud-hosted desktop centralizes Revu so every markup made on site is instantly visible to the office.

    Architecture Firms

    Architecture Firms

    A locally installed Revu is out of reach when working remotely. A hosted virtual desktop puts the full Revu application on any device, from any location, without moving files.

    Engineering Teams

    Engineering Teams

    Large bid sets and 3D PDFs push local workstations past their limits. A GPU-accelerated cloud desktop carries that load server-side, so engineers get consistent performance from anywhere.

    Government and Public Sector

    Government and Public Sector

    Sensitive permit and infrastructure records are hard to govern on local laptops. A managed cloud-hosted desktop centralizes files and enforces access control across the team.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Bluebeam Revu Cloud Hosting Same as Bluebeam Cloud or Bluebeam Studio?

    Bluebeam Studio and Bluebeam Cloud are Bluebeam's own built-in features, free with every Revu license. Studio Sessions handle real-time PDF markup, Studio Projects store documents in the cloud, and the web and mobile app lets you mark up in a browser. What they do not do is run the full Revu desktop application.

    Hosting Revu on a cloud desktop is different. You run the complete Bluebeam Revu desktop, plugins and add-ons included; on a managed cloud-hosted desktop you reach from any device.

    The two are not competing. Most teams use both: Studio Sessions for quick markup with outside collaborators, and a hosted Revu desktop for the full application and the CAD tools that feed it.

    Yes. You run the complete Revu desktop application, including its plugins, on a cloud-hosted desktop that you can access from any device. This is the full desktop application, not the web-only version.

    Not for standard documents and forms. GPU-accelerated rendering helps with large-format vector drawings, 360-degree photos, and 3D PDFs. Our desktops include GPU acceleration, so Revu's default hardware rendering stays smooth.

    Yes. A cloud VDI environment hosts any Windows application on the same virtual desktop. That means Bluebeam Revu runs alongside AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, or any other tool your team uses, all in one centralized, managed workspace. There is no need to switch between machines or environments. See our AutoCAD Hosting and Autodesk Revit Hosting pages for more.

    Yes. Revu is supported in Citrix, and our desktops are configured with hardware rendering set correctly so users avoid the common rendering error.

    Yes. You need to bring your current Revu license and run it in the hosted environment.

    Your environment uses encryption, MFA, firewalls, and monitoring, with drawings centralized instead of stored on local laptops.
