The modern AEC Industry has transformed itself with the introduction of new concepts and techniques for architectural modeling, design, and detailing. Technology has made 3D modeling a norm in the construction industry; 3D Modeling facilitates an effective and detailed development of architectural design, drawing, and other architectural services.<\/p>

CAD technology digitalized the architectural drawing and drafting; the process was shortly adopted by the architectural drafters and designers across the industry after its inception due to several benefits it comprised in comparison to the time-consuming and arduous traditional methods. CAD digital drawing reproduced easily and detailed drafting created with better dimensional accuracy.<\/p>

What is architectural CAD drafting?<\/h2>

The term \u2018Drafting\u2019 is used for creating technical drawings; it covers the technical and other aspects of a project to brief its functionalities and concepts. Architectural CAD drafting refers to using computer software like AutoCAD, Revit, etc. to create 2D or 3D design plans for various construction projects like commercial, residential, or industrial. These drawings developed with a set of conventions like floor plan, site plan, elevations, isometric and axonometric projections, kitchen details, and door and window details, etc. with proper measurement, size, and scale.` With CAD software, these drawings developed with more accuracy, new features, and details, and further details easily added.<\/p>

What is architectural CAD detailing?<\/h2>

The success of a project largely depends on the quality of its architectural detailing. Architectural CAD detailing is the technical detailing of every interface, every corner, and every inside and outside point of the project. The architectural detailing showcases each part of the construction design in a larger scale; shows how each component of the design fit together, sectional drawings are elaborated to show complex junctions like floor to wall junction, window openings, roof apex, etc. It also covers plan details and vertical section details. These details are usually not produced in isolation, with the set of details it is easy to draw information and understand the three-dimensional model and its functionalities better. These detailing acts as a set of instructions for the builder, the potential outcome can be estimated to build the project effectively.<\/p>

Architectural CAD drafting and detailing helps in developing a building project from concept to reality<\/h2>

Architectural CAD drafting and detailing brings a building project from a conceptual to the actual stage. Architectural drafting meets the need of architects, engineers, contractors, and other project stakeholders by creating, modifying, analyzing, and optimizing the building design. The drafting stage creates a set of documents and drawings that contributes to making the project efficient and successful.<\/p>
