Back Then…Did You Ever Hear This Question? • Why do I need CADD? I can do my design just as fast on the drawing board. • Or maybe you were the one asking the question?
That Was Then… • In late 80s and well into the 90s, we experienced a paradigm shift in the civil design world. • We were abandoning drawing boards, T-squares and drafting pens. • We were beginning to embrace computer aided design and drafting.
This is Now… • CADD is almost universally accepted as a standard and necessary tool to accomplish our civil designs. • Most engineers and drafters have a computer on their desk with CADD software installed. • Most organizations have adopted standard software, workflows and CADD standards.
That was Then… • Many younger engineers and drafters have no clue what this is. • Nor can they remember that finally getting one of these was almost as exciting as your first date.
This is Now… • Your customers are demanding this…
We are Facing New Challenges • Making visualization for hearings is inefficient and difficult. • Feeding machine control is often challenging. • Although CADD is commonplace we still represent things rather than model things. • Thing 1 has no knowledge that it depends on Thing 2.
We Need Design Tools in Which… • Relationships are preserved and reliably updateable. • A design object knows what it is and how it should look and act. • Visualization is easier and more efficient. • Feeding machine control is easier and more efficient.
A New Paradigm Shift is Upon Us • Features – Design Objects which know what they are. • Your decisions (design intent) which created the elements are preserved on the elements as rules. • Relationships between elements are preserved. • 3D Modeling for pretty much everything.
