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.

There are numerous ways to share models with owners, architects and major specialty contractors but what do you do to make it easier for the other subcontractors and suppliers? Another solution is to share your model using Bluebeam Revu CAD. The model tree remains available and the markups are embedded into the 3D model.

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.

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.

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. I.e. it is cheaper this way.

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.

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.

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?

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.
