Solution · Bluebeam Revu
Your takeoff, drawn into Revu.
Open your sheet in Bluebeam, describe the scope, and Caliente lays real, editable Revu markups onto the plan: area polygons, length runs, counts, callouts. No screenshot, no black box.
Take off the slab on A-101 and give me the area.

Why Bluebeam users
A copilot that reads the sheet, and draws in your Revu.
Our AI model reads the drawing and works out what the scope covers. Then Caliente drives the Bluebeam Revu you already have open and lays the takeoff down as native markups. You describe the work; the measuring is done for you, on the sheet in front of you.
A model that reads drawings
Our AI model, trained on plan sets, works out what belongs to the scope, so you are not tracing it by hand.
Native Revu markups
Area polygons, polylines, counts, clouds, and text land as real Revu objects. Nudge a vertex and the quantity follows.
A copilot, not autopilot
It proposes the takeoff, you keep the number. Every markup is visible and editable, and destructive changes wait for your OK.
Inside Bluebeam Revu
The same conversation, in Bluebeam's own tools.
Start on the drawing you already have open
Caliente reads the active sheet through the Revu integration. Your file stays put, your scale stays set, nothing gets imported or exported.
It draws native, editable markups
Area polygons, polylines, counts, clouds, and text land as real Revu markups. Nudge a vertex and the quantity follows, because it is a live measurement, not a picture.
You approve before it writes
Every markup is previewed with its quantity. Destructive actions gate on your confirmation, so a live sheet never changes behind your back.
It reconciles its own work
Ask what is on the sheet and Caliente pulls existing markups and their measurements back out, so you can check scope or square a bid.
What it draws in Bluebeam
Every quantity, in native Bluebeam items.
Area polygons
Slabs, roofs, and footprints traced to scale as Revu area markups, square footage returned the moment the loop closes.
Length runs
Walls, curb, and conduit measured as Revu polylines against your sheet scale, no walking the plan by hand.
Counts
Fixtures, receptacles, and heads found and tagged with Revu count markups so nothing slips the estimate.
Clouds & callouts
Revision clouds, rectangles, highlights, and free text placed exactly where you point them.
Read quantities back
Pull existing markups and their measurements out of the sheet to reconcile scope or a prior bid.
Studio aware
It respects the sheet set, scale, and units on your Studio project before it draws a thing.
Questions estimators ask
Answered, before the demo.
Does it change my file without asking?
No. Additive markups draw as you ask and are undoable in one click. Anything destructive, like a delete or a redact, stops at a confirm card and waits for your OK first.
Do I have to switch tools or learn a plugin?
No. It drives the Bluebeam Revu you already have open. There is nothing to install inside Revu and no new panel to learn. You open your sheet like normal and ask.
Is my drawing sent to the cloud?
Yes. Our AI model reads the sheet to do the takeoff, and the markups come back into the Revu you have open. It travels encrypted, it is used to answer your request and nothing else, and it is never used to train our model. Your drawings do not become someone else’s takeoff. Driving Revu and writing the markups happens on your machine.
It draws straight into Revu, the way I would, only faster. The markups are mine to edit after, so I trust the number.
Open Bluebeam and talk to your next takeoff.
Bring your sheets. Describe the scope. Caliente does the measuring right inside Bluebeam Revu, and asks before it writes.
