Getting started

From CAD to inspection reports

Author in Studio, inspect on iPad, then review in your browser.

Accounts and equipment

  1. Ask your administrator for an account and server address. This page does not provide default credentials. Workspaces depend on your permissions.
  2. On-site inspection requires a LiDAR-equipped iPad Pro. The implementation team supplies iPad and desktop packages for the target devices and systems.
  3. Use web Studio directly. Prepare STEP / STP or IGES / IGS files; convert other formats first.

Author in Studio

  1. Open Author, import CAD, wait for conversion and open the draft.
  2. Click a part name to highlight it. Double-click or choose Focus part for details. Search, isolate or hide parts; exiting isolation restores the previous view.
  3. R marks reference parts and I marks inspected parts; these roles are mutually exclusive. Use stable parts that are always present as references.
  4. Configure start poses and steps. Choose Add checkpoint and click the model, or Shift-click. Undo, duplicate and reorder steps or checkpoints, and rehearse steps to verify poses and visible parts. Seven types are available: presence, position, visual/weld, count, dimension, photo and document. Add attachments and capture requirements as needed.
  5. Wait for Saved, then submit for approval or publish as required. Browsing does not modify the draft; publishing creates a new version.

Inspect on iPad

  1. Connect using the server address and credentials supplied by your administrator. Download a published project and create an inspection session.
  2. Align from the start pose and verify overlay quality before inspecting. Initialization and tracking must be validated on your real parts.
  3. Review each step and let the inspector confirm OK / NOK. Record photos, annotations and notes. Dimensional screening assists inspection; it does not replace metrology.
  4. End the session to generate a report. Inspection works offline; check synchronization after reconnecting.

Review in the browser

  1. Open Review in Studio, locate checkpoints in the fixed-version model and compare criteria, photos and original / reviewed results. Missing required evidence or unchecked items block sign-off.
  2. Authorized supervisors can record review comments and confirm conclusions. Download reports as needed; available actions depend on permissions.
  3. Published projects support model viewing. Create a draft from a project version to edit its contents.

Reinspection and recovery

  1. Request reinspection from Review and specify a reason, assignee and due date.
  2. Inspectors claim tasks in Studio or the project picker in the updated iPad app, download the specified version and create a new session for the same item.
  3. Submit after the new session and evidence sync. Supervisors review the new session before closing the task.
  4. When authoring conflicts occur, compare the preserved local copy and server version, then save a new draft or adopt the server version. Do not refresh away unsaved work.

Deployment and validation

  1. This is an integration prototype. Agree accuracy, stability and delivery acceptance on your specific parts and site conditions.
  2. In-house tracking is the main path. ARKit reference objects and GPU stations need use-case validation; the third-party bridge is reserved and not integrated.
  3. Projects and reports support private deployment. R&D diagnostic bundles use Alibaba Cloud OSS; agree collection scope, access and storage before enabling diagnostics.
  4. Without a mail app, copy the request from the website contact section and paste it into webmail and send it to demo@cadarai.com. An email reply confirms receipt.
