The Current Set
Ask for a copy of the job's drawings and specs with every addendum and RFI change applied, marked with revision clouds.
A Current Set is a reading copy of the job's drawings and specs with every addendum and RFI change applied. Reissued sheets and spec sections are swapped in. Changes to the documents are marked on the page with a revision cloud and a note that points to it. A note never covers the drawing.
Use it when you want to see what the job looks like now, in one place, instead of flipping between the originals and the addenda.
Ask for it
In the job's chat, say build a Current Set. Before it starts, crux tells you three things and asks if you want to go ahead:
- It takes a while, often an hour or more on a big job.
- It uses credits from your Claude subscription.
- You can keep working in crux while it runs.
Nothing starts until you say yes.
While it builds
A background agent does the work, so the chat stays free for other questions. A line above the chat box says what it is doing, for example Building the Current Set (thru Addendum 3): checking every marked page (12 of 40). You can keep working. A progress bar runs under it.
The agent reads the addenda, marks the pages, then checks its own marks and fixes what it finds. To stop a run, ask the chat to stop the Current Set.
If your Claude sign-in runs out while it builds, crux tells you to sign in again and ask for the Current Set again.
When it is ready
The chat says Your Current Set is ready, with the addendum it goes through. Click Open. It opens the PDF file itself when the set has one book, or when a second look is in one of its books; otherwise it opens the job's Current Set folder. The files are named Current Drawings - thru <last addendum> - <date>.pdf and Current Specs - thru <last addendum> - <date>.pdf.
- A second look. The line can say that some marks "could use a second look." After checking its own work, the agent still had a doubt about those marks. crux lists them in the result and does not hide them. Open the set and check those pages yourself.
- Unclear changes. When an RFI answer or addendum item does not say which part of a document changes, crux clouds every place it might affect and flags a question for you to send. It does not guess.
- If it fails. The chat says why and keeps your earlier sets.
Older sets and the Superseded folder
Ask for a new Current Set after the next addendum. crux moves the older set into Current Set > Superseded, so the newest set is the only one at the top of the folder. Nothing is deleted.
crux does not read it back
A Current Set is a copy for you to read. crux never reads it back as one of the job's documents and never cites it. Every citation in the chat, binder, RFIs and estimate points to the original document, sheet or addendum, so a cited page always matches what the GC issued.
If a job already has a folder named Current Set that you or the GC made, crux reads it like any other folder. Only a set crux built is left out.
