A no-brainer. It works seamlessly because the two products that we use on a daily basis are Forma and Bluebeam. Let’s connect them, it just makes sense.

Product FAQs
Can Bluebeam markups be edited and preserved in Autodesk Forma?
Bluebeam and Autodesk Forma markups remain separate for full integrity. Bluebeam markups appear in Forma as selectable objects for reference, but edits must be done in Bluebeam. Forma markups stay in Forma. Need changes? Simply re-send files back to Bluebeam for editing.
How does the Be.Smart Connector work with Bluebeam Sessions and Projects?
Both are supported! For slip-sheeting, use Bluebeam Projects. You can also nest Sessions under Projects to enable slip-sheeting within a Session.
Does the Be.Smart Connector support slip-sheeting and multi-page PDFs?
Yes! Multipage-PDFs are supported. You can also combine multiple Forma Sheets into one PDF and slip-sheet updates directly into Bluebeam Projects for streamlined version control.
Can Bluebeam markups be preserved when drawings are updated?
Yes. With slip sheeting support, Be.Smart Connector helps preserve Bluebeam markups when updated drawing sheets are added. This helps teams keep comments, annotations, and review history intact across revisions.
Are hyperlinks and markup metadata preserved during sync?
All Bluebeam hyperlinks and metadata are preserved and can be accessed in Bluebeam.
Can Autodesk submittals be reviewed in Bluebeam?
Yes. Be.Smart Connector supports Autodesk submittals review workflows by allowing submittals reference PDFs to be sent to Bluebeam for markup and review, then returned to the Autodesk submittals workflow.
Can file transfers be scheduled or automated?
Yes. Be.Smart Connector supports scheduled file transfers, helping teams automate recurring file movement between connected folders and reduce manual admin work.
