Q-Cad Now Offering Revit 2-D and 3-D
Q-Cad Drafting Services recently announced the availability of Revit 2-D and 3-D BIM modeling for the drafting services they offer clients. The combination allows the production of both realistic 3-D building models and two-dimensional floor plans and annotations.
The powerful new Revit suite of applications consists of building information modeling software that can present a realistic 3-D image of a building or structure, along with 2-D notation. The most useful feature of Revit is that the images produced can be modified, and the rest of the image will conform; this is useful when proposing architectural changes or modifications.
The images can be collaborative, meaning that multiple users can access the interface and suggest changes in real time. A company spokesman recently remarked, “Revit is a valuable tool that goes very well with our existing AutoCad software. It allows us to render architectural designs with an accuracy and flexibility not seen before in the industry.”
Q-Cad offers AutoCad and MicroStation drafting services to professional clients. The value of Revit architecture to the architect or engineer using drafting services is a more user-friendly and flexible drafting process. The advanced system architecture (the latest version was released in March 2012) of Revit allows ongoing design in 3-D, which makes the process of visualization and design far easier, than with two-dimensional media, such as blueprints.
Q-Cad uses Revit and many other cutting-edge software applications to provide its clients with the means to propose new building construction or modifications and to see how those models will look and function.
