Drawings and Tools for Civil Drafting

How many engineers draw by hand nowadays? Especially when it comes to civil drafting, where responsibilities and budgets are much higher than in average architectural projects. No doubt, modern CAD software makes the whole working process more convincing and accurate, the design, the drafting part, and the construction itself. Advanced CAD programs make lots of processes automated, including the calculation of the consumption of materials. Therefore, the risk of making a fatal mistake while using software is significantly smaller than in drafting by hand.

ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING PROGRAMS: 2D VS 3D TOOLS

/0 Comments/in /by Stacey Mur

Comparison of 2D and 3D Programs

We are all creatures of habit when it comes to our private routines and professional life. For example, architects get used that their draftsmen work in particular architectural drafting programs and utilize the same tools for years. Surely, using old familiar techniques can establish a smooth and fast workflow. However, in reality, modern 2D and 3D software is constantly changing and getting better. Developers release new programs and update old ones very frequently, fixing bugs and adding cool features. Thus, having the habit of working in the same program, architects and draftsmen may miss new opportunities that could make their working process more convenient and fast. That’s why it’s so important to stay updated on new products in the field of CAD software.

CAD Draftsmen Make Construction Drafts

A drafting engineer is an extensively trained professional, who can create a technical drawing, via hand-sketching or computer-aided design (CAD). Given that for the majority of projects engineering drafting and design are performed with the help of modern technology, we will further focus on digital drafting, leaving out its manual counterpart. CAD is a visual language, that is meant to be understood by engineers universally, weather it is decoded by someone working on the plumbing systems, or on building super-speed aeronautical vessels.

BIM APPS: 7 VR AND AR CONSTRUCTION TOOLS BASED ON REVIT MODELS

AR Tools with BIM Objects

BIM apps is a new step in architectural and construction business as it simplifies communication between project members and makes execution much easier. Before, Architects couldn’t monitor the whole process unless they were constantly at a construction site. It led to unpleasant outcomes when the results after construction diverged from the original ideas. Moreover, the Architect cannot follow the progress of construction from the office, so in case of any changes or emergency, they will not be able to give an immediate feedback. As a result, the lack of communication between the creator and the implementers often causes errors that take a lot of time and budget to fix.
