is presumed that a domain specific software package implies only the interior architectural domain specific software. 2.4 CAAD Software used in Interior Architecture There are plenty of different software packages used in interior architecture from 2D drawing to 3D modeling that support different phases of design process. Even the software used in the interior architectural education and practice differ. While the students employ the general purpose CAAD software for 2D drawing and 3D modeling purposes, it is prominent that professionals utilize the domain specific software that are developed for each company most of the time. The following parts of the study covers the most commonly used general purpose and domain specific software packages in education and practice. 2.4.1 Commonly used General Purpose Software In this thesis the software packages analyzed as commonly used general purpose CAAD software are AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max and ArchiCAD. These packages are chosen because they are produced by the leading companies in 2D drawing, 3D modeling and BIM, and they are also the most commonly utilized packages in the world and especially in Turkey. The detailed background information about these software packages and their features are given in the following sections. 17
2.4.1.1 AutoCAD AutoCAD is a full-featured general purpose CAAD software application for 2D and 3D design and modeling by AutoDesk Inc. AutoDesk released the first version of AutoCAD in 1982 for PCs (AutoCAD, 2007a). AutoCAD evolved from a very basic version that allows its users to draw only some primitives like lines, polylines, circles, arcs and text. It is also released as AutoCAD LT which is less featured or scaled down to spread the common use of AutoCAD for any 2D drawing facility with a fair price. Today, AutoCAD has a full set of solid modeling and 3D tools but, it still lacks some of the more advanced capabilities of solid modeling applications. AutoCAD is varied by some vertical programs which address specific areas of interest for diverse markets, such as AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Electrical and AutoCAD Civil 3D (AutoCAD, 2007a). For instance, AutoCAD Architecture allows architectural designers to draw customized 3D objects such as walls and doors. Therefore, architectural designers do not utilize primitive objects unless any particular reason arises. Similarly, AutoCAD Civil Design, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Map 3D are other examples of specific CAAD applications rooted from AutoCAD (AutoCAD, 2007a). Furthermore, AutoCAD supports a number of application programming interfaces (API) to let developers extend its functionality (AutoCAD, 2007b). There also exists third-party AutoCAD based applications developed by other developers rather than the ones at AutoDesk. 18
