ne, water and heat systems. Most architectural programs use this as well as AutoCAD. There are also programs where it is possible to create a virtual building and examine the heat flow system to make sure that the building is getting maximum efficiency. Other programs animate a building or object so one may simulate what happens with the building. All of these programs are very good for the field that they are used for.Although the process may be a long and tedious one traditionally, the drafter takes much pride in his work. The way he feels about his job shows up in his drawings. If his drawings are sloppy a client can tell that he probably isnt thrilled with what he does. But on the other hand if his drawing are neat and accurate then the client can tell that he does take pride in his work and he likes what he does for a living. If a client doesnt think that their drafter likes what he does then they probably wont hire him. So it is important that one draws with passion. When they do it shows. This is hard to do in CADD since all drawings look the same (Friedman).CADD programs, on the other hand, do have many 3-D capabilities. CADD programs simplify the visual complexity of a drawing making it much easier to look at. (Bethune, 72) It also better integrates 3-D modeling into a users design process making working with 3-D much easier. (Bethune, 71)) Once an object has been drawn in 3-D mode a user can at any time look at it from any angle (Bethune, 74)) or create a cross section of that object. (Goetsch, 26) Any time the user edits that object the change that he or she made is updated in all other views as well. (Goetsch, 23) To manipulate the drawings one can delete, zoom in or out, mirror, rotate, and scale. (Zandi, 158) Some 3-D programs can allow architects to examine critical building elements such as curtain walls and immediately locate problems. (Grad, 44) The simulation technology has advanced so much that architects...
