Projects & uploads
The home screen
Your home screen lists every project you have access to. From here you can:
- Find any project with search and filters.
- Pin the projects you live in so they're always at the top.
- Report a bug or request a feature without leaving the page.
Use case: Jump straight to the three jobs you touched this week instead of scrolling the full list.
Uploading a drawing set
Drop a PDF drawing set anywhere on the home screen, or use the upload button. Then choose:
- Start a new project: for a brand-new job.
- Add to an existing project: for a fresh revision or an additional document (specs, schedules, a consultant's set). Revisions of the same set sit side by side, ready for Compare Versions.
What happens during processing
The platform processes the set page by page:
- Each sheet is rendered and read, including title blocks, drawing numbers, and sheet names.
- Disciplines are detected automatically (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, civil, general).
- Schedules and tables are extracted into structured data the tools and chat can query.
- Everything is indexed so search, chat, and checks can find it.
Processing continues in the background; you can open the project and start looking around right away.
Use case: Add a fresh revision to an existing job so it sits alongside the previous version.
Supported files
- PDF drawing sets: the primary format. Vector or scanned; multi-hundred-page sets are fine.
- BIM models (IFC): view in 3D and let the chat inspect elements. See BIM models.
- Building codes: upload once for your organization and browse them like a searchable library. See Code Review.
Sharing a project
Projects belong to your organization. Invite teammates from the users page and share projects so everyone reviews the same set. See Team & sharing.
