How it works

From an uploaded PDF to a marked-up drawing.

Civilneer's engineering drawing review process is the same five steps every time, regardless of how many stations or sheets a drawing contains.

1

Upload drawing

You upload a roadway cross-section PDF — a single station or a full multi-sheet set.

2

Civilneer identifies engineering annotations

Every printed slope, elevation, and offset label is extracted directly from the drawing's text and vector geometry — not from an image scan.

3

Resolves the physical geometry they reference

For each annotation, Civilneer traces leader lines and drawing conventions to determine the exact line or point on the sheet it describes — the step most tools skip.

4

Measures the drawing

The resolved geometry is measured directly from the sheet's calibrated scale and grid, in the same units as what's printed.

5

Returns PASS or REVIEW findings

Every check resolves to exactly one of two states. Nothing is silently passed through, and nothing requires you to dig through a log to find what needs attention.

Then

You review the marked drawing and QC report.

The output is a marked-up copy of your own drawing — every checked annotation highlighted with its printed value, measured value, and the difference between them, positioned right where the label sits. You review it the way you'd review a colleague's redlines, not a black-box report.
