Shameer K.

Cons

“The navigation within the plan viewer can sometimes feel a bit laggy when handling high-resolution MEP files with many layers.”

garrett m.

Vice president

“It is difficult to find the architecturals or structurals or just the plan set because many of the names on files are in code and don't make sense.”

Roby E.

“I think it's problematic to navigate the files of a project when they are uploaded a single page at a time. ”

David K.
