Long gone are the days when we had to be experts in drafting by hand; computer-aided design (CAD) software and 3-D modeling tools can generate measured drawings and photorealistic renderings with a keystroke. When it comes to the design process, technology is both a blessing and a curse. Is this a good thing? Not always.
