Difference between 3D and 2D floor plans

Floor plans are very important for describing the entire design of a floor.  Generally Floor plans are developed by architects but with the growth of CAD technology, it’s the CAD technicians who are now responsible for developing them with the assistance of Architects. Prior to advent of CAD software, architects and engineers used to visit the location and based on their location analysis they used to create the drawings manually and that was not at all easy. All kinds of construction drawings used to be generated by architects and engineers including the floor plans.

But with the advent of CAD technology, development of construction drawings including floor plan became very convenient. Now apart from architects and engineers, CAD technicians are also involved in the generation of floor plans. CAD technicians are highly trained in computer skills and hence they are responsible for executing drafting services wherein drawings generated for the designed buildings.

2D floor plans are developed by utilizing two basic dimensions that are length and breadth, and since height is missing in them they appear like simple plain paper drawings. In 2D floor plans, things like doors, stairs, windows etc are represented by symbols and this makes it difficult for to understand. People who are nowhere associated to construction industry can hardly understand anything regarding the building design from 2D floor plans. Another important thing is that these plans are not at all visually attractive. 

But 3D floor plans which are developed by using three basic building dimensions that include length, breadth and height are much more informative than 2D floor plans. It is very easy to understand the design of a building floor by looking at 3D floor plan. Each and every feature of the design can be understood by clients or owners after looking at them.

A 3D floor plan shows the positioning of all the important elements of a floor such as placement of windows, stairs, and doors including the location of the rooms. So by viewing 3D floor plans one can easily understand which room is located in which direction and from where can one enter there.

List of Software that simplified execution of pre-construction engineering services

Autodesk which is an American multinational firm has designed maximum numbers of software that are used in construction today. There is no doubt that execution of pre-construction engineering services  have greatly reduced on-site burden of architects and engineers. All of this became possible only after Autodesk came up with crucial software that helped technicians and modelers to generate drawings and develop models of buildings that are supposed to be constructed in future. Description of vital software is given below. AutoCAD: AutoCAD helps CAD technicians or CAD drafters to create stunning designs in a very short period of time. AutoCAD’s ribbon galleries assist technicians with an intuitive, visual and fast workflow. For example, if in case a user wants to add a block while developing designs they can make use of ribbon gallery and successfully insert a block. It has all the significant tools that are needed by designers to improve design process. Revit: Revit is ...

Photo-realistic floor plans crucial for clients understand of the building

Well, here comes a suggestion for all those people who are willing to buy or purchase their own house, ‘don’t buy it without checking the rendered floor plans’ since they are going to assist you in getting a far better understanding of the house.
