Capabilities

Bring the Pieces
Into View.

The building model, the drawing engine and the review work that connects them. Each result needs context.

01

Project Inputs

Start with available project material. The project intake accepts PDF and DXF, plus PNG, JPEG and TIFF images. Check its file limits and review the extracted geometry before continuing.

PDF / DXF / IMAGE
02

Building Geometry

Describe the building through an internal graph: spaces, levels and geometric relationships used by the drawing engine.

SPACES / LEVELS / RELATIONSHIPS
03

Drawing Sets

The engine includes schematic design, design development and construction document configurations. These describe output stages, not approval status.

SD / DD / CD
04

Discipline Views

Architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection sheet examples are available in the fictional residential study.

A / S / M / E / P / FP
05

Model Exchange

PDF, DXF and IFC generation exist in the codebase, the IFC as IFC4X3 by default. Confirm export availability for the project workflow before relying on a particular format.

PDF / DXF / IFC4X3
06

Grounding Checks

Review records can expose grounding violations in drawing content. They support the team’s checks without replacing code review or engineering judgment.

Where It Connects

The set leaves in files your consultants’ tools already open: IFC4X3 with its delivery contract (IDS) for Solibri, Bonsai and the viewers, BCF 3.0 for the issue log, gbXML for the energy consultant, DXF for every CAD seat, and the element file our Revit add-in reads.

For Portland the set is packaged for ProjectDox in the city’s own order. That packaging is built and tested on one project, and no set has been filed through it yet. Bluebeam Studio and Procore connections are built and switched off until a customer’s account is attached. An Autodesk Tandem handover is planned.

Your own tools can start a run, read a project and receive a signed notification when a run completes, through a documented interface an assistant can read as well. The reference is published here.

Scope and output vary with the project. Local zoning research, surveying, engineering certification and permit decisions remain separate responsibilities.
