01 / FLORA + FieldLine PDF
Work the drawing.
Know the next step.
From setting a scale to issuing a reviewed copy, get help understanding the workflow while your document stays in front of you.
Find a workflow you want to improve.
Select a topic to see an example question and the work it can help you approach.
Scale → check → measure
Start with a scale you have checked.
Example question / FieldLine PDF
“How should I calibrate this drawing before starting a takeoff?”
FLORA can explain the documented calibration workflow: use a known dimension, apply the intended scale and independently check another dimension before measuring. Get the setup clear before you put quantities to work.
Your next move: Choose the controls, verify the scale against the drawing, then use FieldLine’s measurement tools.
Original → revision → review
Give revision review a clear starting point.
Example question / FieldLine PDF
“How do I compare the original sheet with the revision?”
Ask how to choose the original and revised documents, pair the pages and use FieldLine’s comparison tools. FLORA helps explain the procedure; the application performs the comparison you request.
Your next move: Select the documents, run the comparison and inspect the differences yourself.
Editable work → issued copy
Know which copy you are creating.
Example question / FieldLine PDF
“How do I save this PDF so my markups remain editable?”
Understand the difference between saving an editable PDF and exporting an ordinary flattened review copy. FLORA can help explain the workflow so you can retain working information and choose the deliverable the job needs.
Your next move: Choose Save or Export for your purpose, then reopen and check the resulting file.
Find information → choose the tool
Make an unfamiliar tool easier to use.
Example question / FieldLine PDF
“How can I search a scanned drawing?”
Ask about search, navigation and OCR when a scanned page has no searchable text. You can also ask about markup tools and review workflows. FLORA’s limited page context helps orient the conversation; it does not replace inspecting the sheet.
Your next move: Run the appropriate document tool and check its output against the source.
A more approachable toolset
Learn while the work
is in front of you.
Ask about panels, markup tools, document controls and supported workflows. FLORA gives you another way to approach the software when you don’t know the terminology or where to begin.
The starter panel includes questions about finding footing details, comparing sheets and preparing a takeoff. Those are guidance prompts; you carry out the document operations.
Explore FieldLine PDF ↗Guidance stays close to the task. Ask about the workflow, use FieldLine’s document tools, and verify the result against your source.
02 / FLORA + FieldLine Planner
Bring more clarity
to your plan.
Tasks, dates, calendars and resources work together. Ask about the relationships, understand the documented controls, and make better-informed changes yourself.
Find a workflow you want to improve.
Select a topic to see an example question and the work it can help you approach.
Sequence → dependency → check
Understand the relationship before you link.
Example question / FieldLine Planner
“How should I link framing after the slab work?”
Ask about predecessors, successors, finish-to-start relationships, lead and lag. FLORA helps explain the documented concepts and controls so you can represent the real work sequence instead of adjusting bars by guesswork.
Your next move: Apply the appropriate link and review the calculated dates and dependency direction.
Calendar → constraint → calculation
Know what to check when dates surprise you.
Example question / FieldLine Planner
“What should I check when a task’s finish date is unexpected?”
Working time, dependencies, constraints and calculation mode can all affect a plan. FLORA can explain those settings and help you work through the documented checks using limited context from the selected task.
Your next move: Inspect the relevant settings in Planner and confirm the effect of each change.
Demand → capacity → review
Make capacity warnings easier to interpret.
Example question / FieldLine Planner
“What does this resource overload warning mean?”
Ask what allocation, available capacity and peak units mean, and how to review them. FLORA helps explain the information supplied by Planner; she does not automatically level resources or rewrite assignments.
Your next move: Review the allocation view, choose a practical adjustment and check the resulting plan.
Reference → update → compare
Keep the approved plan meaningful.
Example question / FieldLine Planner
“How do I review a delay without overwriting the approved baseline?”
Ask about preserving a reference, recording progress and reviewing changes. FLORA can explain the differences between a baseline, a status date and a progress update, including what those actions do and do not reschedule.
Your next move: Work on the intended copy, apply the update yourself and compare the result with the reference.
Scheduling help, close at hand
Ask about the plan.
Understand the logic.
Planner can supply limited project information and details from a selected task or resource. Relevant guide references accompany answers, giving you a place to follow up on the documented workflow.
Use the guidance to understand links, dates and resource information before applying your next change. You remain in control of the plan.

Ask with the relevant task or resource selected, keep the schedule visible, and follow the guidance through to a checked result.
03 / How FLORA works
Your questions.
Your computer.
Your decisions.
FLORA brings together a local language model, relevant FieldLine learning material and limited context from your work. The result is practical guidance generated on your computer.
- 01You ask a question.Your words and a small application context are prepared locally.
- 02FieldLine finds relevant reference material.Reviewed product guidance supports the answer.
- 03The local model generates a response.No hosted AI API is required for inference.
- 04You decide and act.Apply the guidance with the software’s tools, then verify the result.
What powers FLORA?
The current integrations use a bundled Qwen3 4B language model with a local llama.cpp runtime. Relevant excerpts from reviewed FieldLine learning material support the answer, alongside limited context from the active application.
What does FLORA stand for?
FieldLine Offline Reasoning Assistant. She has separate integrations for FieldLine PDF and FieldLine Planner, with guidance tailored to the application you are using.
Do I need a cloud AI subscription?
No cloud AI subscription or hosted AI API account is needed for FLORA’s local answer generation. The required desktop application, runtime and model must be installed. Product licensing and update terms are described separately on the product pages.
What information can she see?
FieldLine PDF supplies a document/page reference, selected-markup count, and short page-text and markup excerpts when available—up to 230 characters of page text and 100 characters of markup summary. Planner supplies project summaries, short diagnostics and selected-task or resource information. This is limited context, not automatic reading of every page or schedule row.
Can FLORA change my files or schedule?
FLORA is advisory. She does not edit PDFs, save projects, import files or automatically reschedule work. You operate the software, choose the changes and check the results.
Are my questions sent to an AI provider?
FLORA uses the installed model on your computer to generate answers. Questions and supplied context are not sent to a hosted AI service for inference. Licensing, configured updates and services you choose—such as email, network printing or cloud folders—have separate behavior. In PDF, Report response prepares an email draft for you to review and send; it does not send automatically.
What computer does local AI need?
The default model occupies approximately 2.5 GB of disk space, and 16 GB of system memory is the recommended baseline. It runs on Windows x64 with the supplied local runtime. CPU operation and supported GPU acceleration affect startup and response speed; performance depends on your hardware.
Does she remember work across the two apps?
The two integrations have their own context and conversations. Automatic cross-app memory or PDF-to-Planner handoff is not established. Planner guidance sessions are not saved with the project.
Can I rely on every answer?
Generated advice can be wrong or incomplete. Check the original documents, verify drawing scales and measurements, and review schedule consequences before relying on a result. FLORA helps you use the tools; she does not replace professional judgement.
Is FLORA in every FieldLine installation?
Availability depends on the desktop version and the model/runtime supplied with it. Check the product and version information for the edition you receive. Older installations and browser previews do not necessarily include the local assistant.
