If you have access to Autodesk Build with the Pype features enabled, here is the standard workflow:
| Issue | Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The PDF is a scanned image with no text layer. | Use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool on the PDF before uploading, or re-scan the document. | | Missing Submittals | The spec language was vague. | Pype looks for keywords. If the spec just says "Provide drawings," it might miss it if it doesn't fit the standard pattern. Manually add these to the log. | | Duplicate Sections | The spec book has revision pages appended. | Ensure you are uploading the cleanest, collated version of the spec book. |
Disclaimer: Interface buttons and exact menu names may vary slightly as Autodesk updates the Construction Cloud platform. Look for "Pype" or "Automation" branding within the Submittals and Specifications tabs.
