Autocad vs drawings

On a side note you can get an add on from the autodesk app store that lets you add things to autocad right from the sketchup warehouse.

I have ACA and have add things from sketchup warehouse. It seems that the sketchup versions seems to work best. It lets you pick which version you want to add in the warehouse. Sometimes you need to try a few to get one to work. We did a fire station and in the break room they wanted to put a beam in from the original fire station and put the old letters from the original sign on it.

I made this just messing around to see what I could do with a trial version of panorama. It was my first attempt, but came out decent for just screwing around in some down time. You can pan around with the mouse and zoom with wheel also. If you open the link on a phone it uses the phones gyroscope and shows what you are pointing the phone at. Click VR mode and put the phone in a VR headset and it would be a great way to show clients ideas.

Fire station break room. Keep in mind that the trial version of panorama only let me render in like x Up that to HD quality with the paid version and it should be pretty slick. It was a reasonable price if I remember, like bucks. Notice: updates available for Apache Log4j vulnerabilities. See the security advisory on the Autodesk Trust Center for more information.

Autodesk Revit is a BIM authoring software that uses a standardized hierarchy of objects Category, Family, Type, Instance allowing the designer to build a 3D model at a higher level. It can be a difficult task for drafters to ensure that a change to an element in plan view like a door or a window , is updated across all relevant sections and elevations.

In AutoCAD Architecture, elements such as walls, doors, and windows mimic real-world behavior and construction. So, you can insert doors or windows into your wall, and when you change the location or Style of object, you may update this same object in other drawings where it is shown. You can also modify all objects of that Style , meaning if you insert a certain style of window 50 times into several different walls, but want to update the style, you can modify it once and it updates every object; a huge time-saver!

Just like individual elements, when you change a major element like a wall or floor in plan view it automatically updates element locations, as well as material hatching, layer, and line type properties in all other views.

A 3D model, populated with intelligent objects, offers the ability to easily extract sections, elevations, views, schedules, etc. In the comparison drawing, the differences are highlighted as change sets , using revision clouds.

Revision clouds are placed on a new layer, 0-Markups, in the comparison drawing. Three colors in the comparison drawing highlight the common objects and the differences.

You can specify colors to identify the following:. You can specify colors to identify the following: Objects that exist only in the first drawing — green, by default Objects that exist only in the second drawing — red, by default Objects that are unchanged or common to both drawings — gray, by default.

Note: If you have a layer that is turned off or frozen in DWG 1, it will not become part of the comparison result.
