Construction professionals worldwide have used AutoCAD construction design software since the ‘80s for 2D and 3D drafting. Many in the industry consider AutoCAD to be the best construction drafting software to create blueprints for everything from residential homes to large-scale commercial projects.

There is a lot to admire in people/companies refusing to jump on the BIM bandwagon. Their group is similar in size to the true BIM-ers on the other end of the spectrum, the ones that have grown grey by being ‘early adopters’, the ones that forced many-a-new-toolset onto processes largely un-supportive of any change or improvement.

Can’t help myself thinking of it every time someone tells me, how going to BIM from CAD will come about (easily) just as moving from the drafting board to CAD happened in the past. Moving to real BIM from flatCAD is nothing like changing from the T square to the mouse! That is your BIM. I beg to differ.

In my opinion the phrase Building Information Modeling (BIM) was born in part because Autodesk desperately needed to differentiate ADT/ACA from Revit, at least as BIM is defined and expressed by Autodesk. The notion of using computers to help accomplish the broad goals of BIM is nearly as old as computers so it''s not a brand new idea.

When I say nothing ever changes in this BIM game, I am exaggerating of course.

It concealed minor blemishes as well as not-so-minor ones.
