Drawing Review

Check drawing sets against standards and quality requirements. Nomic's Drawing Review workflow dispatches sub-agents to independently review each page of a drawing set, producing a structured table of verified violations with citations to both the drawing and the standard.

How to Use

1

Prepare Your Drawing Set and Standards

Ensure your files are available in Nomic:

Connect an Integration

Use ACC, Bentley, SharePoint, or Egnyte to sync your drawing sets and standards

or

Upload Files Directly

Upload the drawing set PDF and your internal standards document

2

Open the Drawing Review Workflow

Navigate to the Workflows tab and select one of the Drawing Review workflows:

  • Drawing Review — Uses a built-in demonstration set of QA/QC standards. Good for a quick walkthrough of the workflow.

  • Drawing Standards Check — Bring your own standards document. Upload or select your firm's internal standards PDF alongside the drawing set.

3

Provide the Drawing Set (and Standards)

When you start the workflow, you'll be prompted to select files:

  • Drawing Set — The PDF drawing set to be checked. Every page will be reviewed.

  • Internal Standards — (Drawing Standards Check only) Your firm's standards document in PDF format.

The workflow reads the standards thoroughly, then dispatches independent sub-agents—one per drawing page—to check each page against all applicable standards in parallel.

4

Review the Output Table

As sub-agents complete their page reviews, violations are added to the Drawing Review table artifact in real time. Each row represents a verified violation and includes:

  • Drawing citation — A link to the exact location on the drawing page where the issue was found

  • Title — A short description of the violation

  • Summary — An explanation of how the drawing violates the standard

  • Standard citation — A reference to the specific section of the standards document that applies

  • Status — The current state of the finding

  • Severity — The severity level of the violation

  • Discipline — The design discipline the violation falls under (e.g. Architectural, Structural, MEP)

Export the completed table as Excel or JSON for use in your QA/QC process.

Key Features

  • Parallel sub-agent review — Each page is independently reviewed by a dedicated sub-agent, enabling thorough coverage of large drawing sets
  • Drawing Judge — A specialized analysis tool that combines Nomic Parse, OCR, and foundation models to verify potential violations with yes/no precision before adding them to the results table
  • Cited violations — Every finding links directly to the drawing location and the standard section that was violated
  • Real-time results — Violations appear in the output table as they are found, so you can start reviewing before the full run completes
  • Bring your own standards — Use your firm's own internal QA/QC standards document, in any format Nomic supports
