TYPES OF DRAFTING: 5 BASIC KINDS OF CAD DRAWINGS

March 11, 2025/0 Comments/in Blog /by Catherine Paul

A Man Working on an Architectural Type of Drawing

Every architect, interior designer, or manufacturer knows that a simple sketch on paper can’t help build a house or make a furniture piece, because only professional drawings can turn an idea into a real thing. Regardless of the types of drafting, any industry requires highly detailed blueprints with correct elements, lines, and dimensions. Read more

SHOP DRAWINGS: MEANING, TYPES AND REAL EXAMPLES

January 22, 2025/2 Comments/in Blog /by Ian Diev

Millwork Drafting for Bathroom Furniture

Shop drawings are what a fabricator actually builds from. The architect drawings say what a piece should be, and the shop drawing answers how it gets made, on a sheet the shop can cut from: dimensions taken off the site, materials, hardware with part numbers, joinery and the tolerances the piece has to hold. That is why they are prepared by the contractor or the fabricator rather than by the designer, and why they go back to the architect for review before any material is ordered.

CAD DRAWINGS: WHAT THEY ARE, THE TYPES AND THE FILE FORMATS

October 18, 2024/0 Comments/in Blog /by Nathalie Paul

An Architect Works With 2D CAD Blueprints

A CAD drawing is a technical drawing made in software rather than on paper. Sounds like a small difference. It really is not.

Scan a hand drawing and you get a picture of some lines. A CAD drawing is the lines themselves. Every wall is an object that knows its own length, everything sits on a layer, and the drawing is made at full size and only scaled when it hits a sheet. Measure something on it and the number is true.

RESIDENTIAL DRAFTING SERVICES: WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW TO USE THEM

August 23, 2024/0 Comments/in Blog /by Ian Diev

Drafting Services for Residential Projects

Drafting is a critical part of the architectural project lifecycle. It’s the crucial step between the design phase and the construction of the building. While the architects and designers create the concept for the project, drafters produce elaborate plans with technical specifications, which bring artistic visions to life. Suffice it to say that creating a beautiful building that is also safe to live in is simply impossible without residential drafting services.

REVIT FAMILY CREATION FOR MANUFACTURERS: TYPES, PARAMETERS AND SERVICES

August 9, 2024/1 Comment/in Blog /by Valerie Adams

Sofa and chair Revit family created for a furniture manufacturer

A Revit family is not a 3D model of a chair. It looks like one on screen, which is exactly why briefs go wrong and quotes come back three times apart.

Inside the file there is a size catalogue, a set of parameters, materials that report themselves to a schedule, and rules about what happens when somebody stretches the thing. That is what an architect downloads from a manufacturer website. Plain geometry gets deleted about five minutes after it lands in the model.
