The agent can only work from documents in the project. Upload your drawings, specifications and other PDFs to the Files panel and Framework reads them, splits them into sheets and sections, and files them by category.
Upload from your computer
- Click Files in the left rail.
- Drag one or more files onto Drop PDFs, images or CAD files here, or click Select Files and choose them.
- The upload starts straight away. Each file shows a progress bar under Uploading.
What you can upload:
- PDFs, images and CAD drawings. PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, HEIC, WebP, DWG and DXF. Images and CAD files are converted to PDF automatically — a DWG becomes one page per layout. Other file types are rejected with Unsupported file type.
- Up to 250 MB per file. Larger files are rejected before they upload. If your connection drops mid-upload, the upload picks up where it left off.
- Searchable PDFs work best. Drawings exported straight from CAD read far better than scans.
On the free Hobby plan the number of documents you can upload is limited. When you reach it, the upload area shows Document limit reached — delete a document or upgrade. See the pricing page for plan limits.
Import from cloud storage
- In the Files panel, click Import.
- Pick where your files live: Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box or Dropbox.
- If it isn’t connected yet, click Connect and sign in to that account.
- Click Choose files, pick the PDFs, and confirm.
Framework fetches the files and starts processing them, the same as an upload. Disconnecting a storage account later doesn’t remove files you’ve already imported.
What happens while a file processes
Each file is read, split into individual sheets or spec sections, and classified. This usually takes a few minutes, longer for big sets. You can keep working or leave the page — Framework emails you when it’s done.
When a file is ready, its sheets appear in the tree under its category (for example Drawings). With a document open, its Status in the properties panel reads Queued, Reading, Splitting sheets and finally Processed.
If a file fails
A file that couldn’t be processed is marked in red with an error message.
- Hover the file in the tree and click the ⋮ menu.
- Choose Reprocess to read it again.
Files listed under Failed uploads at the top of the panel let you pick a category and click Reprocess, or Delete them. If a file keeps failing, check it opens normally on your computer and is under 250 MB, then upload it again.
