Take a look at the top software solutions which are used for developing 2D drawings and 3D models

Over the years the building process has improved drastically, because design and construction professionals have started to utilize computer applications for carrying out design documentation for building projects.
Across the world there are numerous companies which work round the clock for developing high quality computer applications which can be used by design and construction professionals for developing high quality design for buildings. 

High performing buildings can only be developed by architects and engineers if they have high quality design for all the individual building disciplines which include architecture, structure and MEP.  

The most important thing which is necessary for the development of high quality design is the availability of top-tier software solutions such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit (Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP), and Navisworks etc. 

Most of these software solutions which I have just mentioned are developed by an American software manufacturing company known as Autodesk.  This particular company has actually sorted out many of the difficulties of architects and engineers by providing them with software such as Revit which is extensively used for creating high quality design in 3D. 

The development of architectural, structural and MEP drawings in 2D is carried out through software packages such as AutoCAD and MicroStation etc. These software solutions are equipped with high quality drawing tools which help in accomplishing the technical drawings extremely quickly. 

Whereas when it comes to finding out problems in building design, architecture, engineering and construction industry professionals use Navisworks.

A brief account on BIM’s expansion over the years

Building Information Modeling has a dramatic history when it comes to its expansion in the landscapes of AEC industry over the years. BIM which is also known as Virtual Design and Construction has a dominant presence in AEC industry because of the fact that is has the potential to realize project outcomes and can control them significantly as per requirement. In short design and construction professionals can attain superior control over project outcomes by analyzing multidiscipline models. Well, Building Information Modeling evolved as a concept some four decades ago but it was not practiced by AEC professionals in the industry at that time. For approximately ten years since it first appeared in the journal, the term ‘BIM’ used to be seen only in research papers. BIM as a technology and a process started to be implemented in construction projects some thirty years ago. So once AEC professionals started using BIM in construction they never looked back to their sluggish performanc...

Determine the size of your family according to your project requirement in Revit!

Revit is considered the best choice by architects, engineers, BIM modelers and technicians working in AEC industry for creating families. Families are basically used by BIM modelers while executing Revit modeling services. That makes Revit and Revit modeling services an integral part of construction project execution. Family size matters a lot when it comes to designing a building. In Revit technicians have the luxury to control family size as per the requirement of their project. If in case a smaller size door is required for one of the rooms in the building it can be easily created by using the Family Editor tool of Revit. Revit Family Editor has vital features for developing custom families. The Family size can be controlled by BIM modelers by assigning required dimensions for the family.   In other words the geometry of the family can be easily controlled by assigning parameters in Revit. Take an example of door family; it’s up to Revit modelers what dimensions they want ...

Structural drawings: What is the role of Revit structure and Tekla Structure in their development?

Among all kinds of construction drawings it is really difficult to develop structural drawings as they are of highly complex nature. For developing strong and durable structural framework, the first step is to develop high quality structural drawings which can effectively describe structural design.  For the comprehensive understanding of structural design numerous kinds of technical drawings which may include detailed sketches, plans and working drawings etc have to be developed by drafters and detailers on the instructions of structural engineers.   In this blog I would like to focus on the development of Steel fabrication drawings and erection drawings which are created by steel detailers when they execute Structural Steel Detailing Services with the support of Revit structure or Tekla Structure.    Both Revit structure and Tekla structure are most widely used software packages which are utilized by steel detailers for the development of d...
