What are the various types of Architectural CAD Services?

Architectural CAD services are basically used to set up interior and exterior design for various building type like Residential, Commercial, Institutional, Hotels, Restaurants and Educational Institutions.

The main types of Architectural services that can be provided to clients are as follows:

·         3D Architectural Modeling
·         3D Architectural Rendering
·         3D Architectural Animation
·         3D Fly Through
·         3D Walk Through
·         3D Interior Rendering
·         3D Exterior Rendering
·         Architectural BIM Services

All the above phases are used for different purposes. For e.g. 3D architectural modeling allows one to visualize interior and exterior building designs including the landscape. Services in Architectural CAD can help set up proper interior elements like textures, wall colors, lighting arrangements, floor plan designs, landscape and water bodies etc.

3D Architectural Modeling -3D Modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wire frame representation of any three-dimensional object. With the help of 3 D rendering services these 3 D models can be displayed as an image in print. The rendered 3d models are very expressive as they have real elements like shadows, sunlight effects and many others! Photorealistic effects make the images look realistic and are often used by architects / visualizer to in turn present to their clients.

3D Architectural Rendering – 3D rendering is the process that industrial designers use to visualize their ideas by creating three-dimensional images using CAD Software. 3 D rendering in architecture means absolutely creating photorealistic image of a residential and commercial buildings. The process of rendering is quite similar to photography or cinematography, because it helps in lighting and staging scenes and producing images. Unlike regular photography, however, the scenes being photographed are imaginary, and everything appearing in 3D rendering needs to be created (or re-created) on the computer before it can be rendered.

With the help of 3D architectural rendering, complete scenes can be created either using virtual technology, or by placing 3Dimensional buildings into an existing photograph – also known as photomontage. As the rendering process is an artistic one, the simulation lighting, shadows, atmosphere, color, texture, and optical effects such as the refraction of light or motion-blur seen on moving objects could be designed to appear as a painting, an abstract image or a photo-realistic one.

3D Architectural Animation - 3D animation is the process to create a fast, effective and economical communication media for all. It also helps to create live animations JPEG files that can be shared with the clients across the globe. In addition to providing a view from any angle bringing a photo-realistic dimension to constructed or even idealized spaces, Walkthroughs can be created with the actual materials to be used, such as- interior lighting, landscaping, natural lighting and moving objects.

3D Flythrough - A fly-through allows users to view a model of a proposed or actual site as if they were inside it and moving through it.

3D Walk through- A walk through gives a clear idea to design and visualize the building to be constructed and makes one feel like walking into that particular building or virtual space.

3d walkthroughs and flythrough give liberty to explore and experiment more designs, study the design with variety of different materials, colors, textures and see the effect of light and shadow. Nowadays, 3D architectural walkthrough has become a helping hand for designers to ensure perfection in design, effectiveness in cost and time, thus conveying their clients by showing the final product before it is actually built. One can get to see photorealistic 3d walkthrough and 3d flythrough like 3d architectural walkthrough, 3d interior walkthrough, 3d industrial walkthrough, 3d virtual walk, 3d walk around, 3d fly around, conceptual walkthrough and 3d interactive walkthrough etc.

3D Interior rendering – 3D Interior Rendering services help play any interiors to advantage. With help of it one can add, remove or modify lighting, furniture, furnishings, wood paneling, wallpapers, wall textures and other details for any residential as well as commercial buildings. Photorealistic interior models can be created with precise rendering of how the interiors of a building would look once the construction is completed.

3D Exterior Rendering – 3D exterior rendering is an essential starting point in visualizing any project.  This can help to portray the important details of color hues, light intensity, light reflection, and shadows creating a life-like portrayal of a building. Also, with the help of the 3 D Exterior Rendering  services all sorts of details like - environment rendering, including landscaping, trees, hedges, fences, vehicles, roads and the neighborhood in general can be visualized as part of the project's final rendering.

10 Quick Steps To Quality Control In AutoCAD

The service sector of CAD, quality and time is a quick tour of the main reasons for offshore outsourcing services to clients. Every project, whether large or small, the quality control is very important. Quality checks if done effectively can remove a lot of mistakes and we can offer a very accurate drawing or models with AutoCAD.

Greatest challenge of CAD is to provide fast, high quality. Provides fast execution without compromising quality is a necessity in today's world. Furthermore, adding changing technologies, constant upgradation of software and changes in standards for new challenges in maintaining the quality of projects. The gradation constant change and led to new techniques and strategies in carrying out quality control. We want to educate advocates and role models in the field of CAD with some useful guidelines to achieve quality control in AutoCAD.

During a project, it is inevitable to be fully aware of the quality assurance processes associated with designing, drafting and modeling steps. process quality control, a wise-phase process that must be done in all phases of project implementation. We need to ensure and preserve the standards of planning and design, to verify that all models are created in accordance with industry standards and specific customer requirements. process quality control includes the following tasks:

Phase 1: The Editor / Modeler converts and checks the CAD file to ensure that all standards are met. When the designer is satisfied that the application is complete, then postponed to the next step.

Phase 2: Convert graphic files and compares it with the original document in preparation for errors or omissions. File must also be checked for compliance with any special instructions, layering systems and standards. Errors and omissions are noted and the quality of the works Checker rapporteur assure that all errors and omissions will be corrected, if necessary. Once the CAD file is 100% accurate, the file is transferred to phase 3

Phase 3: Quality Checker checks the corrected document for 100% accuracy. All aspects and CAD standards are checked again.

Phase 4: Quality Auditor visually compares and approves that the electronic version matches the original document.

Quality controls are very important to systematically implement and maintain CAD standards. Mentioned below are the ten quick steps to verify the quality of AutoCAD.
  1. Cross check Drawings Units -
  2. Check the application of layer standards
  3. Check the Line Style
  4. Check the Line Weights
  5. Check the Text Style followed by Spell Check
  6. Cross check the Dimension Style
  7. Check the application of colors
  8. Technical Check ( from Architectural or Structural or MEP point of view)
  9. Check the File Size and optimize.
  10. Checking Sheet Size Composition for printer (hardcopy) and for pdf (soft copy)
This article aims to provide readers with some helpful tips for quality control of AutoCAD. After this process, there are more complex than can ensure that the CAD files free of errors.
