subject: How Drafters & Cad Technology Can Assist In Structure Drafting? [print this page] Commercial Drafters provide technical drawings and plans used by construction or production team to build structure or manufacture products. These may include industrial machinery, house plans, church or garage building plans, office or hospital building, complex structures and many more. Structural Drawings supply visual guidelines and provide technical data and information of the products and structures. These drawings clearly specify structural dimensions, shapes, materials to be used, processes and procedures to be followed.
Drafters fill in technical information using hand-drawn sketches, scribbles, codes, specifications and calculations earlier given by architects, surveyors or engineers. Many drafters use their knowledge of fabrication theory, engineering and industry standards to draw the parts of a structure in order to determine fit, form and functionality.
Civil drafting deals with mapping, plot plans, earthwork, highways, roads and profiles of earth. Civil drafters work with civil engineering companies, surveyors, and in city, county, state road and engineering departments.
Conventionally, drafters use pencils, triangles, compasses, protractors, drawing boards and other drafting tools to generate a drawing manually. Most professionals now use computer-aided drafting (CAD) systems such s such as AutoCAD, Revit, Tekla and SolidWorks to prepare drawings. As a result, some drafters are referred to as CAD technicians.
Architectural drafting involves preparation of detailed plans to accurately convey the architect's design for structures. Residential Architectural Drafter help architects, engineers, or contractors to prepare drawings for elevations, plans, sections and details as utilized in residential construction. Drafters use latest technologies, regional standards and construction practices for providing architectural drawings and rendering models.
Experienced Structural Drafters focus on structures like heavy construction including bridges, towers, industrial buildings, commercial buildings and several others. The overall structure must be designed and the design must be documented by engineering drawings. Additionally, each individual structural member must be designed and be documented by shop drawings. Steel or timber structure drafting involves preparation of structural design documentation so that individual parts can be fabricated and the overall structure can be installed with highest flexibility and minimum cost.
