Use a viewer to read a drawing beside your chat. Mark the part you mean, then ask a specific question or describe the change you want. For example, circle a roof junction and ask Ideatura to explain its layers. ## 1. Side panels Open a file beside the conversation to read it while you work. Use the file tabs to switch references and the panel boundary to adjust the space. Closing a preview leaves the file in place. ![Studio with IFC and PDF tabs, Approved Document M open on page 53, and the download and page navigation controls.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/pdf-page53.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=b748e4709b161d8129b43d0c1519a8b7) An image attachment can also open over the conversation. Click it to inspect the image, then close the preview with X. The cabinet section below is shown at its original size; use the preview's scrollbars to inspect the rest of the drawing. ![Full Studio window with a cabinet section image open in the white, scrollable image preview dialog.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/wide-viewer-real-image.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=61cce5257a9a0d6f6bebfff94c8b3556) ## 2. Capture a view Connect your application, then click Connected App screen capture at the upper right of the message box. In the live-view tab, click Capture to open an image of the current view in a new tab. The example below shows a Garden Office Revit plan image opened in Studio. ![Full Studio window with a Garden Office Revit plan capture opened in the image viewer.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/wide-viewer-revit-captured-view.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=c84601198001bb54d9a03c1bb897fb7e) For a drawing or photograph saved as a file, use Attach file in the message box and add your request. ![Full Studio window with the cabinet section image attached to an unsent review request.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/portrait-composer-real-image-attachment.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=c0586706102fa93f11415937da8401b8) Use Fit page to see the whole drawing, or Fit width and Fit height to fill the viewer in one direction. Zoom in when you need to read a detail. ![Studio with the PDF zoom menu open, including Fit page, Fit width and Fit height.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/pdf-fit-menu.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=00f7ffed1bd58362125cef2186d416a6) Choose Clip and drag around the detail you want to discuss. The area outside your selection dims, helping you check what the crop includes before attaching it. ![Studio with Diagram 18 selected using Clip and the area outside the crop dimmed.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/pdf-clip.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=10ae599c59e57361719422d11501822d) ## 3. Add markup Use Pen, Text or a shape to mark the detail you want to discuss. Choose a contrasting colour and add a short request, such as “Explain the clear space around this WC.” For a change, say what should move or change size and include exact dimensions where needed. ![Studio with a red rectangle selected on the WC diagram, resize handles and the markup toolbar.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/Gx2zWggm-yZCFxBA/beta/images/studio/windows/pdf-markup.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Gx2zWggm-yZCFxBA\&q=85\&s=b4ddcb21b890df8735e34f8280ad794d) ## 4. Edit markup Use Eraser, Undo markup and Redo markup to correct your marks. Clear markup removes them so you can start again. Review the marked detail before sending your request. ## 5. Viewer actions Use Attach to add the visible image or PDF area, or your selected crop, to the next message with its markup. Pin keeps the file available throughout the conversation; Unpin removes it from that context. Clone makes your own copy in Workbench. Check the attachment before sending. ![Studio with the selected PDF detail attached to the message and the Attach, Pin and Clone viewer actions visible.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/pdf-attached-clip.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=1203540c030067b86506e512aa0dd34c) ## 6. Save viewer files Use Download in the viewer’s top bar to save the file to your computer. Download is also available for formats Studio cannot preview. For model downloads and temporary section views, follow [IFC viewer](https://beta.docs.ideatura.ai/beta/overview/ifc.md#save-drawing). ## 7. Read a PDF Use Previous page, Page number and Next page to find the drawing, then fit or zoom the page to read it. Name the page or diagram in your request. Here, Diagram 18 in *Approved Document M, Volume 2: Buildings other than dwellings*, with 2024 amendments, is on printed page 51 but PDF page 53. ![Studio showing Diagram 18 in Approved Document M Volume 2 on PDF page 53, printed page 51.](https://mintcdn.com/ideatura-preview/TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF/beta/images/studio/windows/pdf-page53.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TWzcvTaStOCEp2mF\&q=85\&s=b748e4709b161d8129b43d0c1519a8b7) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
