So for industries where there is no obvious choice for true modeling, you are simply adding the things drawn in 3d to your 2d diagrams. It only took 20 years to evolve, and it all started from just wanting better labeling tools for Land Desktop. We do all our modeling in basic acad or bcad, our tools work in both, and are company written. In civil, 3d things help tremendously, and I have managed the production of our site utilities for several construction jobs where they conflict detect with navisworks. So some industries do not have the option to just jump to doing objects.Īssuming you do though, such a switch is very dependent on what a model would solve. Also, the data sharing mechanisms are fragile and heavy for things like civil3d. Its not encapsulated though, into objects.
REVIZTO STEAM FULL
The civil world is sorely behind, as we store what I would call backbone info (alignments), and then shell info (surfaces), and can even build that into full 3d things that look like our design. The architecture and mechanical worlds seem to have done pretty well on that.
REVIZTO STEAM SOFTWARE
To switch to some kind of encapsulated model, like you do for walls and doors in BIM, there must be software that allows you to do that. Then you get into "switch to doing an xIM model" where the X is B for building, and so on, but now the fun part. You can display the things we design in 3d, but fundamentally the plan and profile geometry are separate. In fact, you can argue the whole civil engineering industry is 2d diagrams, as we separate our parameters for plan and profile view. Many things have diagrams you just would not do in 3d. If you mean "switch to drawing everything in 3d", that is confusing too, as some things like an electrical schematic would not be useful if one simply drew the physical transistors the chip will have. To "switch to 3d cad" is kind of confusing, as both autocad and bricscad are 3d by default. They have to keep a stack in the trailer, of course, because that's where the building official's approval stamp is.
REVIZTO STEAM PDF
I'm pretty sure construction crews would go for it - they're already working from PDF files of my 2D drawings, viewing them on laptops and tablets carried around the site, rather than working from the old giant stacks of paper. I suspect it's architects and engineers who are dragging their feet on that second phase, and maybe building officials are too. I still think 3D-only is the future, but now I don't expect it to happen soon enough for me to be part of it. I still model everything in Sketchup, but then create 2D drawings in Bricscad, aided by 2D exports from the 3D model. I'm still working exactly the same way I was back then. It is for some people, at least the first phase, but not for me. Twenty years ago, when I started modelling all my projects in 3D in Sketchup, I predicted that the transition would be complete within 20 years. I assumed they'd have computers at the construction site instead of giant stacks of paper, and could zoom in on whatever area they're working on at the moment, to see the detail, to take whatever measurements they need, and to right-click on any material to see its specification and quantity. I've always assumed that eventually we'll all work exclusively in 3D - first with 2D plans generated from a fully-detailed and accurate 3D model, and later by just giving that 3D model to the construction crew.
