Digital BIM-based structural workflow programs are making 2D drawings obsolete. They allow engineers to make live changes and share content, saving time, money and resources.
Using 3D models increases production while saving time, materials and labor costs. So why are so many people still using paper or 2D drawings? Let’s take a look at some reasons why paper and PDF are still so popular and why moving to a BIM-based project is better.
Old habits die hard
One significant reason for holding on to 2D documentation or paper drawings is an instinctive resistance to change. When you’ve been using a system your entire career, it’s most comfortable to continue using what you know. As an example of this, think back at how long it took for automated CAD systems to replace hand drawings.
