complete list of problems, questions, and topics that architects might face after joining platform.
When working on architectural projects inside the BDesigner platform, it’s essential to upload files in the correct formats and size limits so that clients and consultants can easily open, review, and approve your work.
This guide explains which file formats are allowed, how much size is permitted, and how to avoid upload errors — all in a clear, step-by-step format.
Based on the type of deliverable and work stage, here are the officially accepted file formats:
PDF (.pdf) – Highly preferred
AutoCAD (.dwg) – For editable design files (optional)
Images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png) – For reference or previews only
PDF (.pdf) – Final reports or screen captures
Images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png) – High-quality render views
PDF (.pdf) – Final documents
DOCX (.docx) – If text-based formatting is required
Text (.txt) – For simple notes
Avoid uploading ZIP, RAR, EXE, or unsupported formats — they will not be accepted or viewed by the client or consultant.
To ensure smooth uploads and client-side viewing:
Maximum size allowed per file: 50 MB
You can upload multiple files at once (each below 50 MB)
⚠️ If your file is too large, use online compressors or break the file into parts (e.g., “3D Front View Part 1 & Part 2” in PDF or MP4).
| Upload Type | Recommended Format | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Floor Plans | PDF + DWG | Easy to view + source file backup |
| 3D Elevation Images | JPG or PNG | High-quality visuals |
| Structural/Electrical | Professional format for print/share | |
| Client Notes / Docs | PDF or DOCX | Simple and readable |
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| “File too large” error | Compress file or split into smaller parts |
| “Unsupported format” error | Convert file to accepted formats (e.g., JPG, PDF, MP4) |
| File not visible to client | Ensure format is viewable (no .dwg without note) |
| Slow upload | Check your internet or compress the file |
All files uploaded to the platform are:
Securely stored
Not accessible publicly
Visible only to client, architect, and consultant in the deal
So don’t worry — your design files are safe inside BDesigner’s system.
Uploading the right file format and within the size limit helps:
Deliver professional-quality work
Avoid back-and-forth with clients
Protect your timeline and rating
“Well-uploaded files speak louder than words.”
Uploading files to the BDesigner platform isn’t just about format and size — how you name and organize your files matters just as much. A well-organized file structure ensures clients and consultants can quickly understand your work, give feedback faster, and helps you maintain a professional image.
This guide walks you through step-by-step naming conventions, folder structure tips, and best practices for upload-ready files.
Speeds up client & consultant understanding
Reduces revision confusion
Improves your ratings and feedback
Keeps your workflow neat and consistent
Use this recommended naming structure for all file uploads:
[ClientName]_[ProjectType]_[DesignStage]_[Floor/Angle]_[Version].[filetype]
Example:
RaviPatil_3DElevation_Final_FrontView_V1.jpg
Sharma_2DFloorPlan_GroundFloor_V2.pdf
AnitaInterior_Kitchen3D_Preview_V1.png
Standard Naming Elements Explained:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
ClientName | First name or full name (avoid nicknames) |
ProjectType | 2DFloorPlan, 3DElevation, Structural |
DesignStage | Draft, Final, Review, Preview |
Floor/Angle | GroundFloor, FirstFloor, FrontView, TopView etc. |
Version | V1, V2, V3… depending on changes made |
Always increment version number (V1, V2, V3) if re-uploading updated files.
If you're handling a multi-floor or multi-part project, group your files in folders:
/Project-RaviPatil/
├── FloorPlans/
│ ├── RaviPatil_2DFloorPlan_GroundFloor_V1.pdf
│ └── RaviPatil_2DFloorPlan_FirstFloor_V1.pdf
├── 3DElevation/
│ ├── RaviPatil_3DElevation_FrontView_V1.jpg
│ └── RaviPatil_3DElevation_SideView_V1.jpg
├── Walkthrough/
│ └── RaviPatil_3DWalkthrough_Final_V1.mp4
└── Notes/
└── RaviPatil_DesignNotes_V1.pdf
If you're uploading folders, first zip them under 50 MB and upload as a compressed file.
Avoid random names like: image123.jpg, finalfinalplan.pdf, Untitled1.dwg
Remove spaces – use underscore _ instead of space
Stick to lowercase extensions: .pdf, .jpg, .mp4 (avoid .PDF, .JPG)
Use clear versioning to avoid confusion
Keep drafts and finals separate if submitting in different stages
| Mistake | Correct Alternative |
|---|---|
plan_final_LAST.pdf | Verma_2DFloorPlan_GroundFloor_Final_V3.pdf |
render.png | Amit_3DElevation_FrontView_Preview_V1.png |
newplan.dwg |

A clean file naming system will:
Reduce client-side confusion
Build trust & clarity in your work
Help consultants review and approve without delay
Make your portfolio look more professional
“In design delivery, clarity is a silent signature.”
In architectural design, revisions are a natural part of the process. Clients or consultants may request updates — and you’ll need to upload new file versions without deleting the old ones. This guide explains where and how to add multiple file versions in the BDesigner platform in an organized, transparent, and professional way.
Let’s break it down step-by-step.
Clearly tracks progress and revisions
Maintains transparency between architect, client, and consultant
Prevents confusion or overwriting of files
Helps resolve any disputes about changes
Once a file is uploaded with a version number, do not rename or replace it with the same filename. Always upload a new version instead.
On your architect dashboard (in the project panel):
Go to the assigned project card
Click “Upload Design Files”
You’ll see section-wise upload categories like:
2D Floor Plan
3D Elevation
Structural
Electrical / Plumbing
Design Notes / Drafts
Upload new versions within the same category, under the relevant service section.
Use the recommended versioning format:
[ClientName]_[ServiceType]_[Details]_V[Number].[filetype]
Kumar_2DFloorPlan_GroundFloor_V1.pdf
Kumar_2DFloorPlan_GroundFloor_V2.pdf
Kumar_3DElevation_FrontView_V1.jpg
Always upload newer versions as separate files
Do not overwrite previous files
Add a short comment (optional) like:
➤ “Updated as per consultant’s feedback on staircase width”
➤ “V3 - Color tone adjusted for main elevation”
This comment builds transparency and saves time for both client and reviewer.
If you accidentally uploaded the wrong file:
Delete it from the system.
Upload the correct file as:
Same file name with incremented version
E.g., V1-wrong → Upload V2-correct
Mention in the comment:
➤ “Revised upload, previous V1 was incorrect”
For example:
/Desai_Project/
├── FloorPlans/
│ ├── Desai_2DFloorPlan_Ground_V1.pdf
│ ├── Desai_2DFloorPlan_Ground_V2.pdf
├── Elevation/
│ ├── Desai_3DElevation_Front_V1.jpg
│ └── Desai_3DElevation_Front_V2.jpg
If uploading ZIP files, label the ZIP folder with the version too:
Patil_InteriorDesign_Package_V2.zip
| Don’t Use | Use Instead |
|---|---|
finalplan.pdf | Sharma_2DFloorPlan_FirstFloor_V1.pdf |
update1.jpg | Verma_3DElevation_SideView_V2.jpg |
elevation_new.jpeg | Amit_3DElevation_TopView_V3.jpeg |
After you upload a newer version:
Use the “Add Notes” or “Project Chat” section
Mention something like:
“Uploaded updated V3 of the kitchen plan with your suggested wall shift.”
This boosts your professionalism, transparency, and speeds up approval.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| Upload in same section | Keep service types organized |
| Use version in filename | Always use V1, V2, V3 |
| Add notes if needed | Short context note helps reviewer |
| Don’t delete older files | Keep all versions visible for client & consultant review |
| For ZIPs, version it too | Use V2.zip, V3.zip when uploading complete folders |
Maintaining multiple versions isn’t just a technical step — it’s a mark of a process-driven, transparent architect. It shows respect for the client's review process, builds trust, and protects you from confusion or disputes.
