Chippie86 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Hi eveyone. Could someone help me with a question for my assignment? We have been asked to: Describe the advantages and of producing drawings electronically using CAD compared to manual drawings and sketching. When describing the CAD packages used in architecture, mention how they can be linked to other software that can aid the design process of construction. I've done the first part, not so sure about the second part: " When describing the CAD packages used in architecture, mention how they can be linked to other software that can aid the design process of construction." If anyone could help me, that would be great. Thanks for time. Quote

f700es Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Also look at Archibus, we use this at work. It connects our CAD files to our facilities management database. I have it linked directly to the rooms and buildings in the drawings. When a rooms polyline changes the database get's updated. I can also query attached data, users, departments and usage from the rooms. http://www.archibus.com Works with plain autocad and revit. Quote
