Bluebeam Max
— Supercharge Your Bluebeam Revu
Accelerate drawing reviews, automate repetitive work, and bridge the gap between PDF and BIM. Bluebeam Max is a premium subscription plan that is coming soon.
What is Bluebeam Max?
Bluebeam Max is an upcoming premium plan designed to add AI-powered capabilities to the Revu workflows teams already rely on—helping reviewers move faster, reduce manual effort, and improve confidence when drawings change.
Autodesk has “connected tools.” Max is the connected capability layer for Revu—built to speed up review, catch issues earlier, and reduce redraw-and-repeat work across revisions.

Talk to your drawings
Connect Revu to Anthropic Claude and use AI prompts to search information, turn markup data into insights, and automate tasks.
Key benefits:
- Faster answers inside large drawing sets
- Less time hunting for details in markups
- Better consistency in review outputs
Stitching
Automatically combine sheets into a single continuous view to understand context across large plans.
Key benefits:
- Big-picture clarity across complex layouts
- Faster navigation across related sheets
- Easier corridor / campus-style reviews
MagicWand
Duplicate, offset, or convert markups with CAD-level precision—without manual redrawing.
Key benefits:
- Reduce repetitive markup work
- Standardize markup placement
- Speed up high-volume review tasks
AI-Review
Scan documents for design issues, scope gaps, and discrepancies—then surface insights as AI-generated markups, dashboards, and trackable issues.
Key benefits:
- Catch problems sooner
- Reduce review blind spots
- Turn findings into trackable action
AI-Match
Detect design changes across phases, disciplines, and drawing scales with visual overlays and comparisons that go beyond standard tools.
Key benefits:
- Faster “what changed?” clarity
- Fewer missed revisions
- Better control across issued sets
Connected Studio Sessions with Revit
Link Bluebeam markups back to the correct location in Autodesk Revit—on the corresponding sheet and 3D view.
Key benefits:
- Reduce 2D ↔ 3D disconnects
- Improve coordination across teams
- Make review feedback easier to action
How Bluebeam Max helps across the review lifecycle
Automate the busy work
AI-powered automation is designed to handle tedious tasks and complex workflows—so your team spends less time on repetitive work.
Get ahead of delays and cost overruns
AI-powered design reviews are positioned to help resolve issues before they become expensive setbacks.
Bridge the gap between PDF and BIM
Connected Sessions with Revit is designed to improve coordination between BIM users and Bluebeam reviewers by linking markups to model context.
Start with what makes Max valuable: a ready workflow and consistent standards.
Bluebeam Max delivers the strongest impact when your teams already share the same review conventions—tool sets, statuses, markup lists, and issue workflows. SolidCAD helps you put that foundation in place so when Max features arrive (or enter beta), your pilot is measurable and your rollout stays controlled.
Bridge the gap between PDF and BIM
Improve coordination between teams working in BIM and Bluebeam using Connected Studio Sessions with Revit®. Bluebeam markups can link back to the right location in Revit—on the corresponding drawing sheet and 3D view—so feedback is easier to action and coordination stays aligned.

Bluebeam Max FAQ
What is Bluebeam Max?
Bluebeam Max is an upcoming premium subscription plan designed to enhance Bluebeam Revu with AI-assisted capabilities. It’s built to help teams review drawings faster, reduce repetitive tasks, and improve confidence when changes happen across revisions.
When will Bluebeam Max be available?
Bluebeam has indicated a broader launch is targeted for early 2026, with timing and availability expected to vary by region and program.
Is Bluebeam Max available to everyone today?
Not yet. Bluebeam Max is still rolling out, with early access and premium plan availability becoming available in phases.
Can I access Bluebeam Max early?
In many cases, yes. Select Max capabilities may be available through early access or beta programs. SolidCAD can help you understand what’s currently available and what’s planned next, based on your region and environment.
What problems does Bluebeam Max help solve?
Bluebeam Max is designed to reduce common review headaches, including:
- Slow review cycles caused by manual, repetitive steps
- Missed changes between revisions that lead to rework
- Inconsistent markup standards across teams and projects
- Disconnected workflows between PDF review and BIM coordination
What are the key features of Bluebeam Max?
Bluebeam has described Max as introducing capabilities such as:
- AI-assisted review support to surface issues earlier
- Smarter change detection across revisions and sheets
- Sheet stitching for continuous, large-format plan review
- Advanced markup automation to reduce manual effort
- Improved connection between 2D markups and 3D context (where BIM is used)
Does Bluebeam Max work with Revit?
Bluebeam has announced Connected Studio Sessions with Revit®, designed to link Bluebeam markups back to the related location in Revit—on the corresponding drawing sheet and 3D view—so coordination is easier and feedback is quicker to action.
Will I be able to trial Bluebeam Max?
Bluebeam states that once Max is available, new users will be able to sign up for a 14-day Max trial, and current customers will have options for extended trials.
Which AI models will Bluebeam Max support?
Bluebeam says Max will initially integrate with Claude and is built on Model Context Protocol, designed to connect with other AI models (examples Bluebeam lists include Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini) as desktop MCP integrations become available.
Will Bluebeam Max replace the Revu workflows we already use?
No. Max is designed to build on top of familiar Revu workflows, helping teams move faster and work more consistently—without forcing a complete process reset.
How should we prepare for Bluebeam Max?
Start with readiness and standards. Max delivers the strongest value when teams already have consistent review conventions—tool sets, statuses, markup lists, and issue workflows—so outputs stay usable and repeatable across projects.
Interested in how SolidCAD can help?
At SolidCAD, we help AECO teams adopt Bluebeam in a way that actually sticks—through workflow mapping, standards, training, and rollout planning.
If you’re planning for Max, we’ll help you:
- Identify where Max will remove friction fastest
- Prepare consistent review standards (so AI outputs stay usable)
- Run a pilot that proves value before scaling
