FEATURES

What Inspect does

01

A guided findings queue

Review errors and warnings first, with informational notes available separately. Move through findings and focus the involved parts.

02

Preview a proposed correction

Where a fix is available, inspect its before-and-after values and validation result. Only Apply fix changes the joint.

03

See inside the assembly

Section and exploded views expose joints that are hidden in a complete piece. Measurements help you investigate the fit. Click the same spot again to reach the part behind, and read contact colours chosen to stay distinct with colour blindness.

04

Will it tip?

Estimate whether a piece tips forward as built, with its drawers pulled out, with a load on the open top drawer, and with someone standing on a step stool's corner. An estimate from typical wood weights, not a safety test: anchor tall furniture to the wall.

05

Saved inspection views

Save a camera, isolation, section, explode and grid state. Return to a named view, or make it the opening view for the project.

06

Keep your bearings

A view bar under the model holds orbit or pan, Fit, Fit selection, Previous view, Home and the projection; switch to orthographic for true front, top and side elevations. The grid runs out to the horizon and stays under whatever you are looking at, and each workspace remembers its layout and camera during the session.

GrainDraft is meant for a computer or tablet. On a phone it works, but the screen is tight.
