Nothing in AutoCAD is quite as fascinating as drawing in 3D. Compared with a traditional 3D rendering of a building on a drafting board that uses vanishing points and projection planes, a true 3D computerized model of a building that can be rotated and viewed from any angle, inside and out, offers a world of difference. Nevertheless, many architectural firms still use the drafting board to create 3D illustrations for presentation drawings, even though they use AutoCAD for their construction drawings.
