How well can you tell? (…If the drawings in front-of you have been produced via 2D or 3D methods?). I’m often asked: have the documents been coordinated? The moment you are exposed to drawings (hard or soft copies) you become extremely vulnerable to them. Reconstructing drawing-sets and the case of the 'G.

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. A good modeller will have plenty of opportunities to model, but rule number one is, that the ‘drawings’ are priority, what consultancies get paid for.

Should documentation that is based on a coordinated 3D digital model be charged at a higher price than straight CAD-ed one is? They claim not to be, though the day-to-day results show otherwise, it is definitely not faster than if done by competent 3D modellers/documenters.

In fact, it is viewed as a bit of a ‘dirty concept’ to expect instantaneous updating of all documents following a design change. Digital, ‘Model-based documentation’ is of course, the answer for those architects/engineers that DO want to improve their ‘response-time’ without compromising on quality or taking on additional risks.

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.

Obviously there is some reluctance to review drawings on screen, on the computer.

A good many of us in the AEC business are familiar with the concept of using keynotes on drawings. Regardless, for us it is a system to reduce clutter on drawings by placing symbols that either carry numbers or letters or both to identify different conditions that we should look to a separate place to read more information.

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? You'd then have consistent walls to schedule, etc.

To add to the complexity, the as-built drawings we had on file were not accurate to the true construction of the existing structure because the original architect had improvised the design during construction. The model is not clean enough to develop construction documents so we have passed along that task to another architect.
