Documenting Your Design

While the industry continues to move toward a 3D building information model as a construction deliverable, today we still need to produce 2D documents for a construction set or design reviews.

  • Document plans
  • Create schedules and legends
  • Use details from other files
  • Lay out sheets

Here's the story: You have recently completed some preliminary design work in advance of your upcoming client meeting. You will need to lay out the plans, elevations, and perspectives on some presentation sheets for the meeting, but you will also have to include some building metrics, such as area plans and schedules of overall spaces. You have also been thinking through some of the details and would like to show a few of those as well.
