Inspection standards

Turn a plain-language standard or checklist into a reusable, automatic drawing check — and get a pass/fail report you can save and share.

One of the most useful things Cizgen can do is turn a standard you describe in words into a reusable, automatic check. Describe the rules once; from then on Cizgen can audit any drawing against them and hand you a pass/fail report.

Create the standard

Describe your standard or checklist to Cizgen and ask it to turn it into a reusable check.

Describe the rules

Tell Cizgen the requirements in plain language — for example, "every room must have a name label, doors must be on the DOOR layer, and there must be at least one exit per floor."

Cizgen studies the drawing

To write checks that actually fit your drawings, Cizgen first inspects the current drawing — reading text, layers, and spaces — so it understands how your requirements map to real geometry.

It saves a reusable standard

Cizgen writes the rules into a reusable ruleset and saves it as a project skill in the drawing's .cizgen/skills folder. It now appears as a /-mentionable skill with a Project badge.

Run the check

Any time after that, mention the standard and ask Cizgen to check a drawing (or a specific region) against it:

Check this drawing against /exit-standard.

Cizgen evaluates each rule and returns a report — every rule marked pass or fail, with the actual value it found versus what was expected.

Save and share the report

Inspection and verification results appear as a report card in the chat with a Save button. You can export the report as Markdown, RTF, or PDF to file it, email it, or attach it to a submittal.

Inspection is read-only — it reports on the drawing, it never edits it. Fixing anything it flags is a separate, normal request that goes through the usual approval gate.

Why this is powerful

  • Consistency — the same rules are applied the same way, every time.
  • Reusable — the standard lives with the project (or your account) and works on any drawing.
  • Shareable — a project standard is available to anyone who opens the drawing.
