Rory Tools · Drawing changes

Give it two PDF revisions of the drawings, say rev C and rev D. It lines the sheets up, shows each changed area as a crop with a list of changes for every sheet, and flags the ones that look like extras.

How it works

Two PDFs in. A change list for every sheet out.

  1. Two revisions in

    The old set and the new one, as PDFs. Rev C and rev D, say.

  2. Sheets lined up

    Each sheet in the new set is matched to the same sheet in the old one.

  3. Changes cropped

    Every area that moved, appeared or went is cut out as an image and listed under its sheet.

  4. Extras flagged

    ChatGPT or Claude describes each change in plain words and flags the ones that look like extras.

  5. Into your extras log

    The flagged ones go straight to the extra check, with a notice date and the running total.

What comes back

One sheet, three changes, one extra.

What it needs

Give it the PDFs. It does the comparing.

What it needs from you

  • Both revisions as PDFs
  • Up to 40 sheets in each revision
  • Each PDF up to 30 MB
  • Sheets in the same order and at the same scale line up most cleanly

What it won't do

  • Give legal advice
  • Decide what you charge for. It flags likely extras; you check them against your scope
  • Price the changes. You put the number on each extra
  • Replace the architect's revision notes. Read those as well

Templates and calculations only — not legal, financial or professional advice. Check everything against your contract and the law, or get advice, before you rely on it or send it. Folkware isn't responsible for how you use it. Read the terms.

Rory watches for
new revisions.

This compares the two revisions you bring. Rory spots a new set when it lands in your inbox, compares it with the last one, and flags what changed before anyone builds from it.
