Layout Analogues and Visual Aids
Abstract
Layout analogues and aids can serve to develop, record, and convey information about plant layout. Modern practice is to use CAD for all but the very first stages of layout design. CAD is available in either two or three dimensions. Three-dimensional (3D) computer models are most useful as aids to development and for communicating with people unfamiliar with engineering drawings, but they are costly. Two-dimensional (2D) drawings are inexpensive and good both for conveying quantitative layout information and as documentation of the layout for recording purposes.
