## Project Naming Best Practices

When naming your projects:

* Use descriptive, meaningful names (e.g., "Building A Structural Review", "Q4 2024 MEP Design")
* Include project identifiers or codes if applicable
* Avoid generic names like "Project 1" or "Test"
* Keep names concise but informative

## After Creating a Project

Once created, you can:

1. **Upload documents** - Add design files specific to this project
2. **Organize workflows** - Create or run workflows for this project
3. **Collaborate** - Share the project with team members

## Example Projects

Here are some examples of well-structured projects:

* **Office Building A - Structural Analysis**
* **Residential Complex - MEP Review**
* **Bridge Design - Load Calculations**
* **Manufacturing Facility - HVAC Design**
