Latest: Twenty builders on where D&C risk is heading

Solution

Viewer

The set, the revisions and the markups in one place.

Reviewing a set usually means three windows: the PDF, the previous issue somewhere in a folder, and the register where the comments go. Switching between them is where comments get lost.

The viewer puts the drawing, its revisions and the drawing index on one canvas. Zoom to a detail, step back through issues, overlay two revisions in colour at whatever opacity reads best, and mark up the sheet in place. Overlay several drawings at once as synced layers to check a service run against structure.

Markups are saved against the sheet and the revision they were made on, so the next person opening it sees what the last person found. Findings raised from the viewer land in the same registers as everything else.

One canvas, and everything the sheet carries

The drawing, the overlay against the last issue, the markups and the index.

What it does for your team

  • Builders

    One canvas instead of three windows

    The sheet, its revisions and the drawing index together, with markups saved against the revision they were made on.

  • Consultants

    Mark up what the AI cannot see

    Mark exits, stairs and the context that is obvious to you, and the repetitive assessment runs from there.

  • Certifiers and surveyors

    Check the finding against the sheet

    Every finding opens on the drawing it came from, with the measurement drawn where it was taken.

Before CIM

  • Three windows open to review one sheet.
  • Markups live in someone's local copy of the PDF.
  • Comparing revisions means printing both and holding them to the light.

With CIM

  • Drawings, revisions and the drawing index on one canvas.
  • Overlays in colour at any opacity, several drawings at once.
  • Markups saved against the sheet and revision, visible to the team.
