Drawing Analysis

What it does

Drawing Analysis lets you upload architectural or engineering drawings (PDFs) and use AI to extract fixture schedules and product information from them. This is particularly useful for lighting plans, electrical layouts, and mechanical schedules.

How to use it

  1. Go to Drawing Analysis in the Tools section of the sidebar.

  2. Upload a PDF drawing file.

  3. The PDF appears in an interactive viewer with these controls:

    • Zoom In/Out β€” adjust the view.

    • Rotate β€” rotate the drawing 90 degrees.

    • Page navigation β€” move between pages of a multi-page document.

    • Crop/Select tool β€” draw a rectangle to select a specific area of the drawing for analysis.

  4. Use the Crop/Select tool to draw a box around a fixture schedule, legend, or area you want to analyze.

  5. Click Analyze to run AI extraction on the selected area.

  6. Results appear in a table below the viewer showing extracted fixtures with:

    • Type Mark (fixture identifier from the drawing)

    • Description

    • Manufacturer

    • Part Numbers

    • Quantity

After extraction

  • Select fixtures using checkboxes and save them to your product catalog.

  • Edit any field inline before saving.

  • Delete rows for fixtures you do not want to keep.

  • Copy fixture data to your clipboard.
