Reduce Tedious Drafting Tasks
With intelligent architectural objects, such as walls, doors, and
windows, that relate to each other logically, Autodesk Architectural
Desktop provides many tools that automate tedious drafting tasks.
Enhancements to the Autodesk Architectural Desktop user interface
and new features such as direct manipulation enable you to easily
make changes directly in a workspace that is both visual and intuitive,
raising your productivity and providing a smoother design process.
Do the Work Once
Because daily revisions are a fact of life in most design projects,
it is important that your designs are well coordinated with your construction
documents. Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2004 ensures that the work
you do in design development is available for immediate use during
the documentation process. You never have to erase and redraw, and
because your designs are linked to your construction documents, you
can be confident that any change you make in your design is reflected
in your construction documentation, helping to increase coordination
and reduce errors and omissions.
Bring Your Designs to Life
To communicate design intent effectively, designers require tools
to visualize and present design intent at every stage of the design
process in a way that is fluid and efficient. Autodesk Architectural
Desktop’s new visualization capabilities make this possible
with VIZ Render, a visualization solution that is effectively integrated
into the Autodesk Architectural Desktop environment, enhancing design
workflow.
Work Effectively with Your Extended Design Team
Because Autodesk Architectural Desktop is interoperable with other
Autodesk® building design solutions and services as well as third-party
applications for specific needs, such as estimating, facilities management,
or other niche markets, you can be sure that Autodesk Architectural
Desktop has extensive tools for you and your extended design team
to get your project done through effective collaboration. This wide
variety of tools enables you to extract vital information from your
building information model that can be used to save time and money
during analysis, estimating, procurement, construction, and management
of the building throughout its lifecycle—building lifecycle
management (BLM).
