Plans are like a set of drawings or two-dimensional diagrams that are used to narrate a place or object or to communicate building or fabrication instructions which are drawn or printed on paper and can take the form of a digital file. So these design drawings can be categorized as: • Feasibility studies. Concept drawings.

“I hate accuracy in CAD!” I also recall, early in my career, small-scale-builders giving me a hard time on construction sites for dimensions on my drawings ending with 2,3,7 (mm); Accuracy is a tricky thing – a double edged sward. I remember a friend declaring 2 decades ago.

Obviously there is some reluctance to review drawings on screen, on the computer. I've encountered drawings coming off the plotter only to see some obvious typo or other problem that we clearly missed on screen for days, weeks or even months.
