If you’re just starting out, then you’re likely happy with just the default folders for now. At the top of the tab next to Tool Chest, click the downward caret symbol and select “Manage Tool Sets.” Within this new menu, you can add, delete, re-order, modify, import and export folders. To access the Tool Chest tab, click the Tool Chest tab icon, which looks like this: The “My Tools” folder is for creating custom hotkeys.
By default, there are some folders already for general storage of saved objects. If you have an object or group that you want to save for later, then right click it and select “Add to Tool Chest,” then select what folder to save it into. Thankfully, Bluebeam’s Tool Chest feature allows me to store and organize pre-drawn objects and groups into a tab for later use. How many times can you draw a 4×4 post or a beam hanger before enough is enough?
This means a lot of repetitive objects get drawn. As a structural engineer, I draw a lot of details and lay out a lot of plans.
