Frequently Asked Questions
Project Management & Status
What are the different project statuses in Qbiq and what do they mean?
Qbiq uses several project statuses to help users track progress:
- Draft: The project has been started but not submitted; progress is saved.
- Processing: The project has been submitted and is awaiting completion.
- On Hold: The project cannot be processed due to unclear information; user action is required.
- Ready: Qbiq has completed processing; the project is ready for review.
- In Revision: A Ready project undergoing redline changes.
- Inactive: Indicates a Ready Property Project where the Floor or Space has been deleted.
For more details, see Qbiq's project management help articles. Note: Statuses are specific to Qbiq's workflow and may not match other platforms.
How can I duplicate an existing project in Qbiq?

What is the Redline feature and how do I use it?
The Redline feature lets users request minor changes to 2D plans and 3D visualizations of Ready Projects. To use it, select the Redline option on your project and specify the changes needed. For guidelines and examples, see Redline feature article. Note: Redline is intended for minor revisions; major changes may require a new project submission.
What is qbiqStudio and how does it help with project revisions?

This feature is ideal for rapid iteration and immediate feedback. For more information, visit qbiqStudio article. Note: qbiqStudio is best suited for users comfortable with direct editing; those needing guided revisions may prefer the Redline feature.
