Share Plant Designs with Clients Using a Simple Link
Your client opens the plant design in their browser. No PDF attachments, no version confusion, no software to install. They may need a free Quorr account to access it securely.
Sharing plant designs by email creates friction, delay, and version confusion
The typical plant design review cycle with a client involves emailing a PDF, scheduling a call to walk through it, receiving feedback by email, making changes in the original design tool, exporting a new PDF, and repeating until the design is approved.
Each revision is a new file attachment. Each file has a name like "plant-design-v4-FINAL-revised.pdf". The client is never certain they are looking at the current version, and you are not certain which version they are referring to when they call with feedback.
This cycle is slow, error-prone, and puts the design in a format that the client cannot interact with. Quorr replaces it with a live link to a working plant model that is always current.
Why this is better than sending screenshots or PDFs
Always the current version
A PDF is a snapshot. A Quorr link shows the current state of the design. When you make a change, the client opens the same link and sees the update. No new file, no new email, no version number in the filename.
The design is the source of truth
A screenshot shows what the design looked like. A Quorr link shows the actual design, including the flowsheet structure, equipment settings, and simulation data that underpin it.
Changes can be made during the conversation
In a PDF review, feedback generates a list of changes to make later. In a Quorr review, you can make a change during the call and show the client the updated result before the conversation ends.
No compatibility issues
A PDF requires compatible software to open. A Quorr link requires a browser. There are no font issues, no layout differences between PDF viewers, and no missing attachments.
What clients can see
When a client opens a shared Quorr design, they can see the plant flowsheet as it was built in Quorr: the equipment at each stage, the connections between them, and the simulation data associated with the design.
This includes the plant structure, equipment names and types, and the throughput and product gradation results from the simulation. The client sees the same model you built, not a summary or export of it.
Clients access the design in their own browser. They do not need to install software. Recipients do not need a paid Quorr account — they may need to create or log into a free Quorr account so access can be controlled securely by the design owner.
What clients can change
Shared links give the client a read-only view of the design. The client can review and discuss, but only the person who built the design in Quorr can make changes to it.
If you want the client to see a different scenario, you make the change in Quorr and the shared link reflects it. You remain in control of what the client sees and when.
How access is controlled
Access to a shared design is managed by the design owner. You control who has access to each design or version, and you can create separate versions of the same design to share different options with different people.
Versions and access control
Create different versions of a design and share specific versions with specific people. The client always sees exactly what you intend them to see.
Multiple design options
Each plant design has its own link. You can send a client two or three links representing different design options, and they can open each one independently.
Free for recipients
Recipients do not need a paid Quorr account. They may need to create or log into a free account so access can be controlled securely.
Shareable within the client's organisation
The client can forward the link to their own team members, who access the same design, subject to the access permissions set by the design owner.
Clearer design conversations with a shared model
When both parties are looking at the same live plant model, the design conversation changes. Instead of describing a change verbally or annotating a PDF, you can make the change in Quorr during the call and the client sees the updated model immediately.
"What if we added a pre-screen to remove fines before the primary crusher?" You add it, run the simulation, and show the impact on throughput and product yield. The client sees the effect in the same conversation, not in the next email cycle.
This is particularly valuable in early-stage design discussions, where the circuit configuration is still being explored. The ability to change something and see the result immediately makes the design conversation productive rather than administrative.
How sharing a plant design with a client works in Quorr
Build the plant design
Create the plant flowsheet in Quorr, add equipment, set feed conditions, and run the simulation to confirm the design is working as intended.
Copy the design link
Each plant design in Quorr has a unique URL. Copy it from the browser address bar or from the share option in the interface.
Send the link to the client
Paste the link into an email, a message, or a meeting invite. The client opens it in their browser and may need to log into a free Quorr account to view it.
Review together or independently
Walk through the plant design in a video call using screen sharing, or let the client review it independently before the meeting.
Update the design as the conversation evolves
Make changes in Quorr during or after the review. The client's link automatically shows the updated design, no new link required.
Who benefits from live plant design sharing
Consultants
Share design options with clients during the feasibility stage, iterate based on feedback without a PDF revision cycle, and keep the client engaged in the design process.
Sales teams
Send a live plant proposal to the client before the meeting. Walk through it together in a screen share. Update it on the spot when the client asks for changes.
Engineers
Share design iterations with project stakeholders, contractors, or approval bodies without managing file versions or worrying about who has the latest revision.
Share your next plant design as a browser link
Register your interest and we will be in touch when Quorr is ready to use.
Frequently asked questions
Does the client need a Quorr account to view a shared plant design?
Recipients do not need a paid Quorr account or local software installation. They may need to create or log into a free Quorr account so access can be controlled securely. No paid subscription is required just to view a shared design.
What does the client see when they open the shared link?
The client sees the plant flowsheet, the equipment at each stage, and the simulation data including throughput, product gradation, and plant balance information. They always see the current version of the design.
Can the client make changes to the shared design?
Shared links give the client a read-only view of the design. The client can review and discuss, but only the person who built the design in Quorr can make changes to it.
Can I share multiple plant design options with a client?
Yes. Each plant design in Quorr has its own link. You can send the client two or three links representing different design options and they can open each one independently.
What happens to the shared link when I update the design?
The link stays the same. When the client opens it after an update, they see the latest version of the design, not the version from when the link was first shared.
