How Drafters & CAD technology can assist in Structure Drafting?
James
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.
