Definition: Computer aided drafting that uses purely orthogonal projections and ignores most of the rules and principles of ‘traditional’ documenting. You’ll find small buildings documented using hundreds and hundreds of sheets. I wish they did tackle the Flatcad syndrome now.

I continued grading until 2015, then went to school for drafting and design, where I was introduced to Autodesk products and BIM. Metromont was one of my customers when I was there with that company, and their CAD manager was retiring that year and I took the opportunity to replace them.I We have taken the role of visionaries.

Step 1: Generate the Project: Generate a Project Initiation Document that defines the people, resources & budget. Step 2: Draft a Preliminary Plan: Utilization of S.M.A.R.T. & A construction plan is a sequence of documents, that describes the given project. Example- CAD. Draft an initial plan: Use the S.M.A.R.T.

There are great standards in place and the whole company seems to know what to do to get construction documents out the door. CAD has been clicking along here for some time now, but there is an ever-increasing pressure to be able to deliver something more than the competition. We have been using AutoCAD to draft.

From Reference other View you can choose either drafting views (good for site/existing condition photos) or any view saved as a "rendering" (image) in the project. Of course, because its an elevation tag, it will carry the sheet/detail number references when you place your drafting or rendering view onto a sheet. Posted by.

The information is shown in construction documents. It is observed that approximately 70 to 80 construction drawings versus 1,000 shop drawings are required in the case of documenting the steel frame for 1,000-ton building (1,000 tons of steel).

These are very valid questions that many CAD Managers and Owners are asking themselves lately. Faster I produce construction documents faster in ABS. More Design less Draft Engineering data in the DWG is used as a graphical tool that speeds the design process and highlights trouble spots.

The third approach is not really any different than how I've seen it done for many years with CAD and hand drafting before that. Then the schedule reports how many instances of that annotation family (symbol) we place in views, that are then placed on sheets.

We will still be able to compare our model against 2D documentation by importing various 2D CAD views into the model. Just try creating a model using only 2D documents as the guide. Is it measured according to the technical drafting staff, the project engineer or manager, the firm, the project or the owner?

That being said, someday we will know, and someday our contract documents will reflect the legalities of BIM. In the end producing coordinated CDs spending more time on design and less on drafting is the real benefit to MEP firms. Not how to create templates and families, how to model and create construction documents.

Revit Systems debuted early this year giving MEP engineers a third choice of CAD technology to use; it may have also caused a bit of confusion on what software is really the best for any given firm. No matter what software you are using, they fall into three general categories: digital drafting, object oriented and parametric.

To just get the documents out on time or a complete interactive BIM model? Drafter drafting or engineer engineering? One way to figure out where the bumps might be is to step through your current process and ask your self "Can Revit do this?" Here's what I wondered about.
