28 Architect’s Pocket Book CAD Most drawings are now produced on computers enabling instant transfer of information between architects, clients and consultants. There are many computer-aided design (CAD) systems available and the most commonly used programs are AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, Microstation and Vectorworks, depending on the scale and complexity of projects. Drawings should be constructed in layers organising the project into different building elements, locations or materials. Most architectural CAD software can also be used for 3D modelling, which can be useful in terms of design development and communication of ideas. These functions are often complemented by external applications such as Sketch Up, Cinema 4D, 3DS Studio Max and Artlantis, with further graphic enhancement provided by using image editing software like Photoshop. Standard protocols apply for drawing methods and notation and many manufacturers now supply technical information in CAD format for downloading as dwg, dxf or PDF. CH001.indd 28 2/29/08 12:18:25 PM
