STRUCTURAL STEEL REVIEW
Review steel shop drawings with the design evidence in view. Trace brings the submitted detail, project requirements and your review decisions into one workspace.

A steel connection can depend on the framing plan, member schedule, general notes, specifications and a typical detail on another sheet. Select the primary reference and supporting sources for each package so the review has the project context it needs. Keep delegated connection documents in the selected source set when they form part of the review basis.
Use AI-assisted review to surface potential differences in member sizes, material grades and connection information. A submitted W16×26 against a scheduled W18×35, or four bolts against six shown in the governing detail, gives the reviewer a specific question to investigate. Trace presents required and submitted values with cited evidence so you can check the comparison yourself.
Open the design and submitted pages side by side. Follow a finding to the cited page and inspect the requirement in context. Review coverage also keeps missing information visible. Where connection design responsibilities or source requirements are unclear, record the open question and include the applicable evidence in your review decision.
Add notes, leaders, drawing markups and calibrated measurements to the working copy. Confirm a discrepancy, dismiss an incorrect finding with a reason, or record a correction with supporting evidence. When a revised package arrives, keep the earlier review and its correction history available. Export the review report, annotations and selected submitted PDFs for the package.
The assigned engineer makes the review decisions and records the review disposition. Trace supports document comparison, evidence investigation and review records. Any connection design and engineering checks remain part of the responsible engineer’s work.
