The 3D modeling workstation: review compliance inside the model

Auditing drawings for Saudi Building Code compliance has always been exhausting: dozens of pages, hundreds of clauses, and manual review that takes days. Emtithal's 3D modeling workstation rethinks that experience from the ground up.

From a 2D drawing to a living model

Instead of reading the drawing as flat images, the workstation builds a 3D model of your project, where every column, beam and slab becomes an inspectable, clickable element. You can rotate the model, move between floors, and isolate any element to review it apart from the rest of the project.

Violations highlighted on the element itself

When a non-compliance is detected you don't just get a text message; the offending element is lit up inside the model in a warning color, with a side card that shows:

• The violated Saudi Building Code clause and its reference number.
• The value measured in the drawing versus the value required by regulation.
• A proposed remediation the engineer can review and approve.

«Compliance auditing turns from a list of text errors into a visual experience the engineer understands in seconds.»

Why does this matter to the engineer?

The biggest benefit isn't just speed — it's clarity. When the engineer sees a violation in its 3D context, they make a more accurate, faster decision and reduce the repeated review cycles before submitting the project to the authorities.

The 3D modeling workstation isn't just a viewer; it's an integrated work environment that makes compliance part of the design process itself — not a later step tacked on at the end.
