Download the two PDFs

Design reference

One page showing the engineer’s specified beam and connection.

Submitted shop drawing

One page with a changed beam size and fewer connection bolts.
These are fictional training drawings. They must not be used for design, fabrication, or construction.

What to look for

B07 is a member identifier. W21x44 and W18x35 identify different wide-flange steel sections. C-04 identifies the connection detail. You do not need to perform a structural calculation to see that the callouts differ.

Run the comparison

  1. Upload the first PDF as Structural drawings.
  2. Upload the second PDF as Shop drawings / submittal.
  3. Choose New review and name it My first demo review.
  4. Select those two documents and choose AI document review.
  5. Start the review and inspect the results.

Compare the reference and submission, then inspect the written evidence for each finding.

The result from our live test

Trace returned two findings: the B07 section mismatch and four bolts in C-04 where the reference specifies six. Both findings cite page 1 of the corresponding documents. AI output can vary between runs. Finding titles and order may differ. This simple test demonstrates the upload and review workflow; it does not establish accuracy on real engineering drawing sets. You can upload the downloadable sample PDFs into your own project to explore the review workflow. The sample drawings are fictional.
