Generally this process of making plans and producing them is known as technical drawing and a working drawing is a kind of technical drawing where documentation has to be done to build any engineering product or architecture such as civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing etc. and many more.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be a valuable tool in the hands of anyone who works in construction. As we saw above, BIM stands for Building Information Modeling. In this phase, the production and sharing of the information are taking place with the help of paper and non-interoperable electronic documents.

Spaces (created in Revit MEP ) can be bounded by elements in linked models, in the host model, or in both. In Revit MEP , spaces use the computation height that is defined in the architectural model.

The use of dependent views is invaluable in a MEP model when systems cross match lines. Because the two dependent view will share the annotations of the parent view along with all the view settings, systems can be designed and documented in an overall view while the sheet (dependent) views reflect the big picture.

Should documentation that is based on a coordinated 3D digital model be charged at a higher price than straight CAD-ed one is? They claim not to be, though the day-to-day results show otherwise, it is definitely not faster than if done by competent 3D modellers/documenters. I.e. it is cheaper this way.
