Comments
Leave a note on elements or a sheet, assign it to a person or to the agent, and track it until it is resolved.
Comments live with the project, outside the model: making one is not an edit and has no undo step. The same list is the project's BCF issues panel. See Issues (BCF).
Open the Comments tab
Choose View › Inspector › Comments (⌘7). Like Quantities and Cost, the tab shows only while it is open.
Comment on elements
- Select the elements the comment is about. With nothing selected the tab says "Select elements to comment on them".
- Type the comment's title in the field (its hint reads "Comment on 2 selected", with your count). Topic type, Topic priority and Topic description are optional.
- Click Add comment.
The comment keeps the selection, the camera you saw it from and a snapshot of the view. Its author is the name in Settings, and it records the model revision it was made on.
Comment on a sheet
On an open sheet, draw a redline cloud and choose Comment on its note to keep it as a comment without sending it to the agent. See Sheets, layouts and title blocks.
Find and open a comment
- The list shows open comments. Tick Resolved too to see the rest, Mine for the ones you wrote or are assigned, This sheet for the open sheet's.
- Click a comment to open its thread. Studio selects and frames its elements, or opens its sheet.
- Open comments show a red pin on their elements in the view, and their clouds stay on their sheets.
- When an element a comment is about has changed since (an agent's turn moved it, say), the row says Changed since. Nothing resolves by itself.
Reply, assign and resolve
- Type in Your reply and click Reply.
- Set Assigned to to a person's name, or to the agent.
- Click Resolve when it is done, or Reopen.
Each change is saved at once.
Send a comment to the agent
Click Send to agent. The comment's elements, title and latest text become the agent's next request, and the comment is assigned to the agent. The agent's answer shows under the thread with Post, and joins the thread as a comment by Claude only when you press Post.
The agent can also list comments and reply to them, and resolve one, when you ask it to.
