The challenge
Engineering projects combine drawings, tables and revisions. Useful extraction should preserve the relationship between data and its supporting document.
Put it into practice
Define extraction fields and how AutoCAD or SketchUp data will be accessed: integration, export or a compatible file. Record version, unit and source. Test against a set already checked by a responsible professional.
What to monitor
Compare values and investigate discrepancies before feeding estimates or planning. AI supports data organization and reading; technical review remains part of the process. Do not assume universal support for every native format.

Prepare a pilot with your project files
Gather this information to scope the work with Zild. During the conversation, we assess integrations, owners and how to measure outcomes.
- An anonymized sample and its revision
- Expected fields, units and quantities
- Who validates extraction and time spent today
Describe the process in the form; samples and documents can be prepared later without confidential data.
