Generally this process of making plans and producing them is known as technical drawing and a working drawing is a kind of technical drawing where documentation has to be done to build any engineering product or architecture such as civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing etc. and many more.

AR can also be used to showcase 3D models and even provide tours, giving clients a solid idea of what a building would look like before it’s built. Augmented can be used to track and document how projects are progressing. These labels can then bring up text or even 3D models to communicate safety or hazard information.

The new generation of 20 somethings (and younger) in training or about to enter the AEC, are taught that documenting building is about creating drawings. Or even if such programs exist and students are let loose to model, render and animate to their heart content, once they enter the industry, they get quickly shown the ‘real’ ropes.

A reasonable ‘stick’ from the software supplier for the naughty users? Nor is it terribly new.

I got hooked very early on the idea of using the power of computers to assist the profession in design, documentation and construction management. While the documentation part converted to its electronic equivalent ‘relatively’ painlessly, the idea of designing with no free hand sketching and paper involved, was an absolute no-no for most.

This approach is somewhat surprising considering that in most contemporary construction contracts PDF’s as the digital representations of drawings have often higher standing than model files or even DWGs. Could the problem be in lack of interest from Adobe to step up its offering for the AEC or are there some other reasons behind the scenes?

The architect doesn’t model ductwork, they use the mechanical engineer’s model.

Some food for thought: Could it (read that as "it will") be better to let the walls be modeled as they will be built (with dead spaces in between), rather than using in-place walls that simply mimic old methodologies, like CAD or Hand drawn lines filled with poche or hatching? I see the same with these types of workarounds.
