I really truly beleive that moving to a non object based Computer Tool like 2D CAD was one of the worst things our industry ever did. With 2D CAD we got the notion of "oh its easy to change". I simply cannot beleive how painful it is to manipulate "stuff" in 2D CAD versus an object modeler like Revit.

Not even 30 years ago when I first started associating with it, even though at the time both the Arch part and the CAD part were positive terms. Highly likely, that those that may have bravely floated the idea of a new name were advised by experts, that the brand capital of the name is too high to throw away – rebuilding will take decades.

Concept designs can be simply a series of sketches, ideas and explorations. Design drawings are used to develop and communicate ideas about a developing design. Computer-aided design (generally referred to by the acronym CAD) is the use of computer software to create drawings. What Are Conceptual Sketches? Design Drawing.

Ever since the UK Government had announced its ambitious plan to become fully ‘Level 2 – BIM’ by 2016 I’ve been uneasy about the idea and voiced my opinion on it, here-and-there. BIM maturity level starts at 1 and anything CAD is considered below…apart from when one CADs in 2D using some sort of a process, then one can be called 0.5

Revit started out as an idea shared by two founders (Leonid Raiz and Irwin Jungreis) and they formed Charles River Software in the late 1990''s (97-99). By that I mean people that are "raised" (began using or prefer) by CAD parents like Autodesk, Bentley, or Graphisoft. So my CAD childhood was in the Autodesk family.

If we import a simple CAD file that has some lines that define where the 0,0,0 origin is we''ll find out exactly where the origin is in the drafting view (use Auto-Origin to Origin). I''d welcome someone from the factory chiming in to say this is good idea or unnecessary. We are free to begin our drafting exercise anywhere we see fit.

CAD drawings never become universally accepted contractual documents and the risk/liability issues of that ‘language’ are significantly less difficult than what making models ‘real’ would be.

Why are you prepared to use ‘word’ and ‘excel’ when you likely have ideas, what tools could be developed to do the same tasks more effectively and likely more enjoyably? Secondly, you get quickly put into a position to pick between furthering your ‘real career’ or carry a label of a CAD-guy (or even BIM-guy) for the rest of your life.

In the still widely practised 2D information flow, where simultaneously PDF/DWG files get exchanged by project participants, the PDF’s do get used by those not CAD literate, but all further work on coordinating or assessing the data (for example creating a BOQ) is usually done on the DWG files.

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.
