Computer‐aided Design

Chappell, David

Building information modelling (BIM) is changing how buildings, infrastructure, and utilities are built and managed, and all except the smallest practices have a BIM system; or so the author is led to believe. Most people he knows who allegedly use computer‐aided design (CAD) for design actually spend most time designing by use of a pencil and tracing or detail paper before putting the results into the computer to test it. Working in CAD is slower in the first stages of producing the drawings, but it is far easier to make amendments to the drawings and the computer ensures that amendments to one drawing are reflected throughout all related information. Now virtually all architects can use CAD. Many people find working with CAD difficult but there is only one way to find out how to use CAD and that is to use it.
