I do not want to pursue Bluebeam in Parallels/VMWare/VirtualBox as a solution because of the cost and also security risks of Windows. I am curious if anyone else has tried that. I tried installing the Windows version of Bluebeam with CrossOver on my Mac, but I could not get that to work. Interesting that Bluebeam 1.9 works on Big Sur, but I do not want to pursue that as a long-term solution. The architecture firm I work for has been evaluating different options while avoiding upgrading to Big Sur for as long as possible. It was such a great app with a lot of promise and the way Bluebeam abandoned it without even releasing a web version after hinting at it is beyond frustrating. Man, I appreciate reading everyone who is in the same boat with losing Bluebeam for Mac. I can have 3 files open at same time on different monitors, and create page labels on 200+ pg doc loaded with layers and takeoffs without crashing! This may not help you if owning Mac BB license, but my guess is VM or Parallels may be the next BB crutch until 20 years from now when their online version works and I’m speaking about these days during my self thrown retirement party.īB speed on parallels isn’t on par with PDF expert or preview, but it’s doable now for takeoffs on heavy PDFs. It hasn’t effected Mac side at all, and definitely sped BB rendering up. I wanted to give BB the whole 9 yards since everyone else is helping them, but decided against that. I basically went to ~75% for both settings. I also changed parallels settings and increased from 4 to 8mb, I believe. I’m doing takeoffs bs researching alternative software. Since doing that, BB crashes way less than it did before, and I’m back to tolerating it. I had two different parallels icons running at times and deleted what I thought was app version. Click to expand.I’m still learning Parallels but believe I had a desktop version running alongside the app version at times? That “?” isn’t a mistake.
