Model Checking Intro

Check models, track tasks, and verify quality in one connected space

Model checking is usually treated as a separate activity from task management. Teams open a model viewer to inspect geometry, then switch to a spreadsheet or task board to update status, then send emails to flag issues. The Verify module (opens in a new tab) in Plannerly (opens in a new tab) brings all of this together by combining a 3D model viewer with a Kanban board in the same workspace. You can review model elements, check information requirements, update task status, and manage the whole process without switching between tools.

The critical insight behind Verify is that checking whether model elements exist is not enough. A model might contain all the right geometry, but if the required information properties are missing, the deliverable is incomplete. Verify checks both. When you review an element like a ceiling, you can see whether it has the required material type, and the model is colour-coded based on status so you can instantly identify which elements meet the requirements and which do not. This visual feedback makes it far quicker to assess the state of a model than reading through a spreadsheet of pass/fail results.

For teams delivering models, Verify supports a self-quality check workflow. Before submitting work for formal review, the delivery team can connect their model, run checks against the original scope requirements (opens in a new tab), and see exactly where things are incomplete. This means issues are caught and fixed before the information manager or lead appointed party sees them, which reduces the back-and-forth that slows down every project. The Kanban board within Verify lets teams drag task cards through status columns, so tracking which elements are complete, in progress, or need attention becomes a visual, collaborative activity rather than a manual reporting exercise.

This approach directly reduces the time spent on task management (opens in a new tab) and issue resolution. When teams can see at a glance whether a model deliverable meets the requirements that were originally defined in Scope (opens in a new tab), the whole verification process becomes faster and more reliable. The connection between what was required and what was delivered is maintained throughout, which is exactly what ISO 19650 (opens in a new tab) workflows are designed to achieve.

How the Verify module works

1. Open the Verify module - Navigate to Verify to access the combined 3D viewer and Kanban board workspace.
2. Connect a model - Link a 3D model so its elements can be reviewed against the scope requirements you defined earlier.
3. Review model elements - Use the 3D viewer to inspect geometry and see colour-coded status indicators showing which elements meet requirements and which do not.
4. Check information properties - Go beyond geometry to verify that required information properties (like material type) are present and correct on each element.
5. Use the Kanban board - Drag task cards through status columns to track which deliverables are complete, in progress, or outstanding.
6. Run self-quality checks - Delivery teams use Verify to check their own work against scope requirements before submitting for formal review (opens in a new tab).
7. Identify and resolve issues - Use the visual feedback to pinpoint exactly which elements need attention, reducing the time spent on issue management.

What you'll learn

• Combined workspace - How Verify merges a 3D model viewer with a Kanban board so model checking and task management happen in the same place.
• Beyond geometry checking - Why verifying that information properties are present and complete matters as much as checking that model elements exist.
• Colour-coded status - How visual colour coding on model elements makes it instantly clear which parts of a deliverable meet requirements and which do not.
• Self-quality workflow - How delivery teams can check their own models against scope requirements before submitting for formal review.
• Streamlined issue management - How connected model checking reduces the time spent managing tasks and resolving issues later in the workflow.
