Speed Up Your Takeoffs with Dynamic Fill in Bluebeam – Quick m² for Irregular Areas

📝 Description

Dynamic Fill lets you “paint in” an area of the plan with a click, and Bluebeam automatically traces the boundaries for you. Once filled, you can apply measurement tools instantly — saving time when you’d normally click around 20+ points manually.

🛠 Common Use Cases

  • Slab cutouts or pour zones with odd shapes

  • Landscaping areas like curved garden beds or paths

  • Bathroom or wet area floors with niches, angles, or curved walls

  • Bulk excavation zones

  • Waterproofing or screed areas with internal penetrations

✅ Benefits

  • Massively faster than clicking around complex shapes

  • Auto-applies Area, Volume, Length or Perimeter

  • Works with cutouts for internal voids

  • Smart edge detection — Bluebeam finds the lines for you

  • Keeps take-offs clean, fast and consistent

  • Pro tip: Combine Dynamic Fill with pre-set toolchest items (e.g., “Screed Area” or “Turf Zone”) for faster markup and quoting.
