Increase the usability of handmade drawings by changing them to CAD drawings

Before the evolution of computer aided design technology only handmade drawings used to be implemented by architects and engineers in the construction of buildings. In other words a few decades back one did not know anything about the digitization of architectural and engineering drawings. These highly important technical drawings used to be generated manually by design and construction professionals after working continuously for a long period of time. And the main problem of such handmade drawings was that they used to include high level of human error. Now if in case technical drawings developed by architects and engineers have some discrepancies in them then it becomes necessary to modify them. But the fact remains that the modification of manual drawings is seriously not that easy. For modifying them AEC professionals have to put a lot of efforts in terms of using their skills and talent. They have to be cautious so that they do not commit any more errors in the drawings.



Apart from this it was also difficult to communicate handmade drawings quickly to different stakeholders or organizations which are equally involved in the construction project. And due to all these complications CAD drawings are preferred more today over handmade drawings. That is why building owners as well as AEC professionals are opting for converting handmade drawings into CAD drawings.  With the advancement of technology anything can be done today for example design and construction professionals can easily convert technical handmade drawings into CAD drawings. That means drawings created with the assistance of paper and pencil can be successfully digitized by CAD drawings with the assistance of CAD systems. And believe me it’s quite simple.


All that is required is to scan the handmade drawings and then save them into appropriate file formats so that they can be effectively imported in AutoCAD. Once the manual drawings developed by architects and engineers are imported in AutoCAD they can be easily modified by users with the application of editing tools. After which it is required to set a scale for the drawings which is done with the assistance of measurement tools incorporated in AutoCAD. Once handmade drawings are measured accurately by using measurement tools then the scale established can be applied to CAD drawings, after which AutoCAD users can save the files. In this way manual drawings can be converted into CAD drawings and they can be used effectively for the project in question.

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. I would not mind saying fool to those people who go ahead with the buying plans without properly visualizing the property. Guys don’t fall victims of such instances, it is difficult to pay the price later on because once you have already bought the house there is hardly anything you can do about it.

MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as in...
