Review and export drawing findings

A drawing review is a first-pass aid. Treat each row in the findings table as something to verify before you push it into your project delivery system. Nomic tracks review state; Autodesk Forma and Fieldwire remain the source of truth for coordination work after export.

Review the findings table​

Start with the issue list. For each finding, check:

• Page or sheet and citation
• Severity and discipline
• Description and standard reference
• Whether the markup on the PDF points at the right condition

Use severity to triage, but open the cited sheet before you accept or export a finding.

What severity means​

Severity is a triage signal, not a substitute for reviewer judgment.

Your project requirements may justify a different priority. State any project-specific severity rules in the workflow instructions, and verify the cited condition before treating a finding as critical.

How Nomic reduces false positives​

When a review produces many findings or checks several issue classes in parallel, the Nomic agent runs a closing quality pass before it summarizes the results. It re-checks findings against related sheets, schedules, details, notes, specifications, and cited requirements.

The pass marks a finding Ignored when evidence shows that it is a duplicate, out of scope, based on a misread graphic, unsupported by its citation, or resolved elsewhere in the set. Its linked drawing callout is hidden with it. An uncertain finding stays in the table for a person to review.

This pass reduces noise, but it does not replace human review. Open the source and accept only the findings that hold up in the project context.

Finding status in Nomic​

Each finding moves through a simple lifecycle. If you own the session that produced the review, you control it from the ⋯ menu on each row. Shared viewers can inspect findings and open existing exported items, but status changes and new exports are owner-only.

                    ┌─────────────┐
                    │     New     │  AI-generated, not yet validated
                    └──────┬──────┘
                           │ Accept finding
                           ▼
                    ┌─────────────┐
                    │  Accepted   │
                    └──────┬──────┘
                           │ Export to
                           │ Autodesk / Fieldwire
                           ▼
                    ┌─────────────┐
                    │  Exported   │
                    └─────────────┘

  Ignore finding     New, Accepted, or Exported  →  Ignored
  Mark as addressed  Accepted or Exported        →  Addressed
  Reopen             Addressed                   →  Accepted
  Reopen             Ignored                     →  New

Reopen returns an addressed finding to Accepted so you can export or continue review, and returns an ignored finding to New so it can be validated again.

Nomic does not use “resolve” or “dismiss.” Use Mark as addressed or Ignore finding instead. After export, track resolution in the connected platform—not in Nomic.

Tell the agent why a finding is right or wrong​

Accept finding and Ignore finding only change that finding's status. They do not explain your decision to the agent, and they do not change the workflow's instructions. To explain a decision, use Add to agent context.

1. Open the ⋯ menu on the finding's row and choose Add to agent context.
2. Nomic adds the finding's title, summary, severity, discipline, author, and status to the message box at the bottom of the chat. If you do this on several findings, they all go into the same message.
3. Add your note, such as "This is not a problem at this stage of the project" or "Treat this kind of finding as medium severity, not low." Then send the message.

The agent can then act on those findings in the current session, for example by changing a severity or re-checking a finding. The note applies to this session only.

To carry the same feedback into future runs of the workflow, open the + menu in the input bar and select Edit workflow. Nomic opens the workflow's settings with this conversation attached. The Workflow Builder agent reads the workflow and the conversation, asks a few questions, and then proposes updated instructions. If you cannot edit the workflow directly, Nomic copies it first and you edit the copy. Edits stay in draft until you release them. See Start from a completed conversation and Create and edit workflows.

Only the owner of the session can change a finding's status or send the follow-up message. A teammate you share the workflow with can run it, but they work in their own session.

Export to Autodesk Forma or Fieldwire​

Export is available when a finding is Accepted or Exported (for example, to create a second export type). Findings in New must be accepted first.

Open ⋯ → Export to Autodesk or Export to Fieldwire:

Each option includes short helper text in the menu. After a successful export, the finding status becomes Exported and you can Open the item in the external system from the same menu.

Exported findings include title, description, severity, discipline, and citation context in the external item. When the citation points at a spot on a sheet, Autodesk Forma issues and Fieldwire tasks and RFIs are pinned to the drawing at that spot. Autodesk Forma RFIs are not pinned. Attachment upload to the external system is not included in the current release.

Requirements:

• The cited drawing must come from a project synced through the Autodesk Forma or Fieldwire integration.
• You must own the session that produced the review.

See Autodesk Forma and Fieldwire for integration setup.

Export from Nomic (PDF and spreadsheet)​

You can still download review outputs without pushing to a delivery platform:

• Annotated PDF — Marked-up sheets (Bluebeam-compatible callouts), from the Export button
• Excel or JSON — Full findings table for QA logs or spreadsheets, from the download icon

Both are in the artifact panel header. See Download or export marked-up drawings.
