Audit a model before it goes out
Run the checks that catch a bad model before a client or a site team opens it: coordinate base, live clashes and classification completeness.
How it works, step by step
3 steps across the platform - what you do at each one, and why it matters.
1
Check the coordinate base
FederationsConfirm the model sits on the shared project origin and grid before anyone downstream measures or clashes against it.
Why: A model that is a few centimetres off the shared base silently corrupts every clash test and quantity taken from it later.

2
Run a clash pass as a quality check
Clash detectionRun the clash test as a final quality gate rather than a coordination exercise, looking specifically for gross geometry errors rather than genuine trade conflicts.
Why: A clash run at issue time catches a model with parts floating in space or duplicated by accident, the kind of error a design review alone can miss.

3
Confirm classification is complete
ValidationRun the validation rules and confirm every element carries the classification and property set the next stage expects, with no unmapped category left behind.
Why: A model with a gap in its classification hands the next user, an estimator or a contractor, an element they cannot price or schedule without asking you first.
