Almost thirty years ago, I was first talking about computer modelling of buildings. I ‘drew’ the first axo chair in AutoCAD 25 years ago and showed it to her. I documented full houses in 3D ArchiCAD 20 years ago in our design studio, while she looked after our children. Sort them, check against models? Or a tablet.

The final assignment of this programme consists of modelling and documenting a house according to a chosen construction principle. In the programme, students work with modelling software from Autodesk, among others, and specifically the Autodesk AEC Collection which includes Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks and AutoCAD.

The use of dependent views is invaluable in a MEP model when systems cross match lines. Because the two dependent view will share the annotations of the parent view along with all the view settings, systems can be designed and documented in an overall view while the sheet (dependent) views reflect the big picture.

AutoCAD is an incredible tool, helping architects, engineers and design teams to create precise 2D and 3D models with ease. To share information from AutoCAD with other stakeholders, most design teams will convert their files into PDFs or other read-only formats. However, using read-only files complicates the feedback process.

Design changes to the model are reflected when the quantity takeoff report is run at any point in the design. By performing quantity takeoffs on the model errors may be reduced.
