CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is a technology used by architects, engineers, and designers to create precise 2D and 3D drawings of buildings and structures. It replaces traditional hand-drawn blueprints with digital models, improving accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility in the design process.

Types of CAD in Architecture:

  1. 2D CAD
    • Used for creating floor plans, elevations, sections, and technical drawings.
    • Examples: AutoCAD, DraftSight, BricsCAD
  2. 3D CAD
    • Helps in visualizing and modeling buildings in three dimensions.
    • Allows better understanding of space, materials, and lighting.
    • Examples: AutoCAD 3D, SketchUp, Rhino 3D
  3. BIM-Integrated CAD
    • Combines CAD with BIM for data-rich, intelligent modeling.
    • Examples: Revit, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks

Benefits of CAD in Architecture:

Precision & Accuracy – CAD software ensures exact measurements and reduces human errors.
Faster Design Process – Saves time compared to hand-drawn blueprints.
Easy Modifications – Changes can be made quickly without redrawing entire plans.
3D Visualization – Helps architects and clients visualize designs before construction.
Collaboration & Integration – CAD files can be shared with engineers, contractors, and clients.

Popular CAD Software in Architecture:

  • AutoCAD – Industry-standard for 2D and 3D drafting.
  • SketchUp – Easy-to-use 3D modeling software.
  • Revit – BIM-based CAD software for advanced architectural design.
  • ArchiCAD – BIM-integrated CAD software.
  • Rhino 3D – Great for complex and organic shapes in architecture.
