Firm-Wide Detail Search
Firm-Wide Detail Search

Give designers instant access to every detail your firm has ever drawn. Powered by Nomic Parse, search across thousands of drawings to find the exact detail you need—without digging through folder after folder.

The Problem

Designers know the detail they need exists somewhere—they've seen it before, or a colleague mentioned it in passing. But finding it means clicking through project folders, opening dozens of files, and hoping to stumble across the right sheet. Most give up and redraw from scratch. Meanwhile, proven details from past projects—representing thousands of hours of design refinement—sit unused on file servers. Your firm keeps solving the same problems over and over.

The Solution

Nomic Parse reads and understands every drawing in your firm's library, extracting the visual and technical content from CAD files, PDFs, and scanned sheets. Designers simply describe what they're looking for—'waterproofing detail at grade transition' or 'steel moment connection at column splice'—and Nomic surfaces matching details from across all your projects. Every result shows the actual drawing content, not just filenames. Designers find proven solutions in seconds and spend their time refining designs, not recreating them.

How it works

01

Connect your drawing archives

Connect your drawing archives

Link SharePoint, Egnyte, Google Drive, or on-premise file servers where your project drawings live. Nomic Parse processes your entire drawing library—CAD exports, PDFs, even legacy scanned sheets—without requiring reorganization or migration. Your files stay where they are.

Search by what you see, not filenames

Search by what you see, not filenames

Powered by Nomic Parse, search goes beyond keywords and metadata. Describe the detail you're looking for in plain language—'expansion joint at curtain wall head' or 'accessible ramp handrail termination'—and Nomic finds matching details based on actual drawing content. No more guessing at folder structures or hoping filenames are descriptive.

Visual results with full context

Visual results with full context

See the actual detail, not just a file link. Every search result shows a visual preview of the drawing content, along with the project name, sheet number, and where it fits in the drawing set. Click through to open the full sheet or download the detail directly. Designers can evaluate relevance at a glance.

Hours to seconds

Find the exact detail you need in seconds, not hours. Stop recreating work that already exists somewhere in your firm.

Onboard designers faster

New designers access decades of firm details from day one. They learn your firm's standards by seeing how problems were solved before.

Reuse what you've already designed

Every detail in your archives represents hours of design time. Make that investment searchable and reusable across every project.
