Set a review scope
Decide whether the checkpoint is conceptual design, detailed coordination, or final documentation. Align the depth of review with the intended use of the model.
Walk through the model by system
Inspect rooms and walls, levels, roofs, stairs, openings, materials, and site elements in a consistent order. Log problems instead of making untracked edits during the review.
Cross-check drawings against the model
Make sure major room sizes, exterior forms, window locations, and notes agree with the underlying design. Pay particular attention to manually entered or duplicated text.
Test high-risk views
Inspect long sections, complex roof junctions, stair interfaces, and dense layouts separately. These often reveal issues hidden by attractive presentation perspectives.
Close the review with evidence
Record the checks performed, files reviewed, remaining questions, and next owner. Confirm that final exports come from the reviewed project version.
Practical final checklist
- Save a dated backup or review copy before changing an active project.
- Check information against the relevant current software documentation and local project requirements.
- Test changes on a representative file, then inspect the resulting drawings and exports.
- Record unresolved questions and obtain qualified professional review when the deliverable requires it.
