Catch every change between drawing sets

Compare drawing revisions to identify what changed between versions. Helonic catches the unclouded modifications that humans miss and gives you the scope of every revision in minutes.

Why revision tracking matters

What changes typically slip between revisions, and what it costs when they reach the field.

Upload both versions

Upload your previous drawing set and the new revision. Helonic matches sheets automatically by number and title.

2

AI comparison

Our AI compares each sheet pair, identifying visual and textual differences across every element.

Change classification

Changes are sorted by type, dimensional, material, layout, notes, and administrative.

Types of changes detected

Both the changes that are clouded and the ones that aren't.

Clouded Changes

  • Updated revision blocks
  • New or modified details
  • Changed dimensions within clouds

Unclouded Changes

  • Changed notes or keynotes
  • Moved or deleted elements
  • Material or finish changes

Layout Changes

Where teams use it

The most common workflows where revision comparison pays for itself.

Bid to Award Comparison

  • Compare the bid set against the contract set to identify scope changes before signing.

Milestone Reviews

  • Track changes between 50%, 90%, and IFC sets to understand design evolution.

ASI / Bulletin Review

  • See exactly what an ASI changes without manually flipping between versions.

Subcontractor Updates

  • Show subs exactly what changed in the latest revision that affects their scope.

The unclouded change problem

Design teams are supposed to cloud all changes between revisions. In reality, changes slip through unclouded. A dimension changes, a note gets modified, a door swings the other way, and there is no cloud to flag it.

This is dangerous. Contractors price based on one set, then build from another. If they miss an unclouded change, it becomes a field problem, a claim, or at minimum, a heated conversation about who should have caught it.

Helonic catches what humans miss. Our AI compares every element on every sheet, identifying changes whether they are clouded or not. You know exactly what changed between versions.
