pin360 + Bluebeam Revu: Attach 360° Photos to Your PDF Markups
Bluebeam Revu is the standard for engineering PDF markup. pin360 adds the dimension Revu doesn't have — 360° site photos anchored to the exact coordinates your markups are referencing.
Bluebeam Revu is used by the majority of UK and US engineering and construction firms for PDF markup, review, and collaboration. Structural engineers, MEP engineers, and building surveyors mark up drawing sets in Revu; they coordinate review cycles in Bluebeam Studio. What Revu does not do is store spatial photographs. You can attach a flat photo to a markup callout, but you cannot embed a 360° panorama that viewers can orbit and inspect in three dimensions — and you cannot anchor that panorama to a precise drawing coordinate that non-Bluebeam users can view.
pin360 is the spatial photo layer that sits alongside your Revu workflow. You work from the same PDF you mark up in Revu — upload it to pin360, drop pins at the locations you have already marked in Revu, and attach the 360° photos from your site visit. The pin360 link you share does not require a Bluebeam licence to view, so clients and main contractors who are not on your Revu subscription can still navigate the full spatial record.
For firms that run Bluebeam Studio sessions for coordinated review, pin360 complements the document-level collaboration with a site-level visual record. Your team's markups describe what needs to be done; pin360 shows what the condition actually looked like.
How It Works
Open your drawing in Bluebeam Revu
Start your standard Revu markup session. Add callouts, dimensions, and annotations as you normally would for your design review or inspection documentation.
Save a copy of the PDF for pin360
Save the PDF (with or without markups — your choice) and upload it to pin360. You are working from the same drawing in both tools, so your spatial reference is consistent.
Photograph each marked location on site
Use any 360° camera to photograph each location you have marked in Revu — structural joints, defect areas, M&E access points, or inspection positions. Standard equirectangular JPEG output works directly.
Pin photos at the same coordinates as your Revu markups
In pin360, drop a pin at each location you marked in Revu. Attach the 360° panorama from that spot. Reviewers can now see both the Revu markup annotation and the full 360° context behind it.
Share with the whole team — no Bluebeam licence needed
Share the pin360 link alongside your Revu file or Studio session. Clients, project managers, and subcontractors who do not have Bluebeam can open the link in any browser and navigate the full 360° site record.
Try it with your Bluebeam Revu drawings. Upload a PDF free — no hardware, no commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
pin360 works from the same PDFs you use in Bluebeam Revu — upload your drawing to both tools and work from a consistent spatial reference. There is no direct API integration, but the workflow is straightforward: mark up in Revu, pin photos in pin360, share both.
