Redline: How to Use It & Guidelines

Use Redline to request minor changes to a completed floor plan or Virtual Tour. You can include 2D and 3D changes in the same request.

How to Submit a Redline

Submit Redlines directly from Design Alternatives. If you use an older link to Redlines, it will take you to Design Alternatives.

  1. Open your project and go to Design Alternatives.

  2. Under qbiq Verified, select Mark for redlines on each design you want to revise. You can select up to three designs, with one version per alternative. For example, you can select A2 and B1 together, or choose A1 in place of A2.

  3. Click Create Redlines. The button becomes available after you select at least one design.

  4. In the Redline Request window, add your 2D markups, your 3D changes, or both.

  5. Click Submit Redlines. The button becomes available after you add at least one markup to the report or provide 3D input, such as a logo or Virtual Tour comment.

All selected designs are submitted together as one request. Their cards show Redline pending until qbiq completes the request. You can have one Redline open at a time.

If you close or cancel the window before submitting, your design selections stay in place. Click Create Redlines to reopen it.

2D Redline

Use a 2D Redline to request minor changes to a floor plan, such as moving or removing walls or doors, rearranging furniture, or swapping or resizing rooms already included in the submission.

The report in the Redline Request window shows the selected designs. Use the page navigation and zoom controls to find the area you want to change. You can select, comment, draw, or use the lasso directly on the report. If you selected multiple designs, mark up each design that needs a change.

3D Redline

Use a 3D Redline to request changes to a Virtual Tour. The 3D Redline section appears when at least one selected design has a Virtual Tour video.

  1. In Select Tour to Edit, choose the Virtual Tour you want to revise. The list shows selected designs that have a tour video. Each request can include one tour.

  2. Describe your requested changes in Virtual Tour Comments.

  3. To add or replace a client logo, upload a JPG or PNG in the optional Logo Branding field. The logo appears on the test-fit cover and as a 3D element in the Virtual Tour.

Examples of 3D changes include:

  • Adding or replacing a client logo

  • Changing up to five finishes within the selected Theme

  • Adjusting views or the tour path

  • Adding or removing artwork or plants

  • Changing the Furniture Collection

If you need to revise another tour, you can submit a separate Redline once the current request is complete.

What Qualifies as a Redline?

Redlines are intended for minor changes within the scope of the original project. The request window includes a link to About Redlines and a note about possible additional charges for changes beyond the standard guidelines.

When to Submit a New Project

Submit a new project for changes that require significant replanning or a different Rendering Suite setup, such as:

  • Adding rooms that were outside the original submission

  • Adding more than 20 workstations or desks

  • Changing the Planning Area

  • Switching between a full-floor and a Partial Area request

  • Requesting a different alternative for the Rendering Suite

  • Changing desk sizes or types

  • Replanning the floor plan

  • Switching to a new Theme

Eligibility and Revision Limits

Projects that have gone more than two months without a modification are ineligible for Redline requests.

Most accounts include up to two free Redline revisions per project. If you need revisions beyond your project's allowance, submit a new project.

Make Changes Directly in qbiqStudio

Use Redline when you want qbiq to make the changes for you. If you prefer to edit the layout yourself, use qbiqStudio to adjust rooms, furniture, doors, and circulation and see the changes in real time.

For detailed instructions, see the qbiqStudio help article.
