Drawing review & markup Planned

MarkupCraft

Red-pen the set without the red pen.

MarkupCraft opens a PDF plan set and turns review into something you can track. Clouds, callouts and stamps come from a tool chest you save and share, so every reviewer marks up the same way. Overlay two issues of a sheet to see exactly what changed, run a session where several reviewers mark up the same set at once, and turn the markups into a punch list with a status on every item.

If you mark up drawings in Bluebeam, MarkupCraft will feel familiar.

What's inside

  • Plan sets, not single PDFs

    Open a whole set, move around it by sheet number, and jump through linked callouts and details.

  • Tool chest

    Markup styles saved as tools you reuse and share, so a whole office marks up to one standard.

  • Clouds, callouts and stamps

    Revision clouds, leadered callouts, approval stamps and text, each with an author and a date.

  • Sheet compare

    Overlay two revisions of a sheet on contrasting layers to see every addition and removal at once.

  • Punch lists

    Turn markups into punch items with a status, an assignee and photos, then export the list.

  • Review sessions

    Several reviewers mark up the same set at the same time, and every comment stays attached to its author.

Concept drawings
