Drawings & plan sets

Drawings lists the project's published sheets. Search by sheet number or title, filter the list, and open a sheet to inspect it. The revision column helps identify sheets with revision history.

Publish and order plan sets

1. Upload the drawing documents and wait for processing to finish.
2. Open Drawings → Plan Sets. If you turned off auto-publishing, review the detected files under Pending and publish them into a plan set.
3. Drag sets into priority order. Sets higher in the list take precedence; files within each set follow the same rule.
4. If a precedence change shows Reprocess Required, reprocess the drawings to update the current sheet revisions.

Read and reference a sheet

Open a sheet to inspect its plan, details, schedules, and notes. Drawing processing captures text and visual content so the agent can work with the sheet's geometry and spatial relationships as well as its written requirements. This supports questions about dimensions, quantities, symbols, and how details relate to the plan.

Follow references from an answer or issue back to the drawing to check the location and surrounding context. For a question spanning disciplines, include the relevant architectural, structural, and MEP sheets rather than treating one sheet as the whole design.

Keep buildings and areas separate

Use drawing areas when a project has separate buildings, wings, or packages that reuse sheet numbers. For example, Building A / A101 and Building B / A101 can remain distinct sheets instead of being treated as revisions of one sheet.

1. Open Project Settings → General. Under Areas, turn on Enable Drawing Areas.
2. In Drawings → Plan Sets, publish the drawing file into its intended set and choose its Drawing Area. Use Create new area if the area does not exist yet.
3. Check the Area column in the drawings list and use the area filter when reviewing a particular building.

The area selected while publishing applies to every sheet extracted from that file. For a file covering multiple buildings, check the resulting sheets and use Edit → Area to correct individual sheets or a selected group. Use consistent area names across later drawing packages.

Drawing areas and spec areas are enabled separately. Areas organize document numbering; they do not replace the facility's room and equipment locations.

Review revisions

Open a sheet to inspect its available revisions and source file. Check the set order when a newly uploaded package should supersede an older one.

To see what changed between sets or specific sheet revisions, run a Plan Comparison.

Bring in an addendum or revised package

1. Upload the new drawing file. Turn Auto-publish off if you want to inspect it before publication.
2. In Drawings → Plan Sets, review the pending file and publish it into the intended set. Use the same Drawing Area as the earlier package when the sheets are revisions of that area's drawings.
3. Place the new set and its files above the content they supersede.
4. Apply any Reprocess Required action, then open a few changed sheets in Drawings. Check their sheet numbers, areas, current revisions, and source files.
5. Run a Plan Comparison when the team needs to review the changes.

A partial addendum does not need to repeat the entire drawing set. For example, a revised A101 can become current while A102 still comes from the earlier package. The area and sheet number determine whether sheets belong together, so check both when a new drawing appears as a duplicate or replaces the wrong sheet.

For packages that include explicitly voided or superseded sheets, review the Exclude superseded/voided sheets option when publishing. Use it when those marked sheets should be left out rather than treated as current drawings.

If the wrong revision is current, check publication, area, and precedence first. Renaming the uploaded PDF or reprocessing its original document does not set the plan set's priority.
