Drawing review for architects
Run the design review on the set itself: redline, compare the new issue with the last one, and send the client a link they can comment through.

Workflows that apply
Redlines that close
Clouds, callouts and stamps with statuses, assignees and replies, filtered down to what is still open.
Markup and review →Revision compare and overlay
Compare two issues of a sheet or the whole set; overlay a consultant sheet on yours to find what moved.
Compare and overlay →Drawing checks before issue
Find references to sheets that are missing, a sheet index that disagrees with the set, and door tags missing from the schedule.
Drawing checks →Client and consultant reviews
Live review sessions with an agenda, chat and sign-off; clients without a licence comment through a verified review link.
Live review sessions →An example from our sample set
On the sample Lakeside Commerce Center set, the drawing checks list A-402 in the sheet index although it isn’t in the set, door D117 drawn on A-101 but missing from the door schedule, and a note on M-102 pointing to an M-104 that doesn’t exist — each with a link to the spot on the sheet.
Our sample sets are generated, fictional drawings made for demonstrations.
Good to know
- Planspector works on PDF exports of your drawings; it doesn’t open DWG or RVT files.
- No 3D models: reviews happen on 2D sheets.
