Bluebeam Revu on a Managed Cloud Desktop, Built for Distributed Teams
Design and construction teams run Bluebeam Revu across offices, job sites, and remote setups. Keeping everyone on the current drawing set, protecting project files, and maintaining consistent performance across different machines becomes a recurring problem.
Ace Cloud Hosting delivers Bluebeam Revu on a cloud-hosted desktop your team reaches from any device. The full Revu application, its plugins, and your project files stay centralized, so everyone always marks up the same source.
- Access from anywhere: Open, edit, and share your Revu drawings and markups from any device, on site or in the office.
- Real-time collaboration: Give your team one hosted virtual desktop where markups, Studio Sessions, and file versions stay in sync.
- Simpler project flow: Centralize documents, reviews, and revisions with fast file access and consistent versions across distributed teams.
Bluebeam Cloud and Studio vs a Hosted Revu Desktop
Get the most out of QuickBooks Desktop while utilizing the cloud’s security, reliability and mobility.
BLUEBEAM'S BUILT-IN CLOUD
Bluebeam Studio & Bluebeam Cloud
Bluebeam’s own built-in features, included with every paid Revu subscription.

- Studio Projects for cloud document storage
- Web and mobile app for browser markup

HOSTED ON Ace Cloud Hosting
A Hosted Revu Desktop
The complete Bluebeam Revu desktop, plugins included, running on a managed cloud desktop.
- Full desktop Revu, not a trimmed web version
- Runs your CAD plugins and add-ons
- Reachable from any device, managed for you
- Works right alongside Studio Sessions
The two work together. You can keep collaborating in Studio Sessions while running the full desktop Revu, plus the CAD tools it connects to, in a managed desktop-as-a-service environment. You get the complete application, not a trimmed-down web version.
Cloud Hosting Features Built for Bluebeam Revu Workflows
What your team gets when Bluebeam Revu runs on a managed, on-demand GPU-accelerated cloud desktop.
Multi-device access
Run Revu from Windows and Mac devices without installing the software or plugins locally.
Real-time markup collaboration
Work in shared Studio Sessions and shared folders with synced updates across the team.
Automatic version control
Keep one current drawing set with automatic version tracking, reducing duplicate files, manual renaming, and the risk of working from outdated drawings.
Managed onboarding and support
Get help tuning VM settings and installing plugins for a consistent Revu setup.
Centralized management
Install, update, or remove Revu and add-ons across all desktops from one dashboard.
On Demand GPU Deployment
For large-format vector drawings and 3D PDFs, GPU-powered virtual desktops keep Revu's hardware rendering smooth.
Enterprise-grade security
Firewalls, MFA, encryption, and monitoring protect your drawings and project data.
Anti-keylogging and anti-screen capture
Built-in tools block spyware from recording keystrokes or screen content.
Scalable resources
Add RAM, CPU, or storage as bid sets and project files grow.
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)
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)
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
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
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
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
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.
