Rendering can be a very tricky and time-consuming phase of a project. In the past, you might waste more time generate a rendering than you spent actually building the 3D model. Additionally, when you work with several light resources, each of which casts shadows, the computer calculations demands a substantial amount of horsepower!
Rendering generates a 2D image based on your 3D model. It shades the model or scene’s geometry using the materials you’ve used, the lighting you’ve set up and surrounding settings such as fog and background. There have been rendering tools present in AutoCAD for many years, allowing users to create photo-realistic images encompassing multiple light sources, materials and entourage objects such as people and trees, with constant revisions (2008, 2009, etc) to make it better for the rendering community since its release.
The new AutoCAD rendering tools make it easier than ever before to add lights and materials to your 3D models so that you can produce realistic renderings. There are also additional commands that make it easy to walk or fly through your 3D models, something that was not possible at all in earlier releases.
The process of creating a rendering using AutoCAD requires four steps:
- Create the actual 3D model
- Position lights
- Affix materials to objects in the model
- Render the 2D image
Other than generating the model, these procedures are conceptual rather than separate sequential steps and mostly performed as an iterative process. For example, you may position some lights and generate a test rendering. Then, after analyzing the results of the test, you may alter some of the lights and render new 2D image again.
AutoCAD can now display 3D models with realistic lighting, materials and shadows. AutoCAD has five pre-defined visual styles - 2D wireframe, 3D wireframe, 3D hidden, Conceptual and Realistic - and you can add and produce your own custom visual styles. When you choose the realistic visual style, AutoCAD displays your model with shadows and materials. AutoCAd Rendering adds more realism to those materials as well as showing reflection, refraction and the true effects of lighting bringing your vision to life!

Architectural design drawing is a famous business resource in architect industry. It is used widely by professional architects to understand the specifications of building designs. Professional architects have developed a guideline for Architectural design drawings and described it as technical drawings of building.
It works like a bridge between architects and builders and by using it, ideas and technical concepts can be shared easily. Such elements like layouts, different views, units of measurements and cross referencing can be achieved using Architectural design drawing. According to these factors dimension specification and design understanding can be achieved easily.
In modern time there is no scope for redesign as it wastes time and money both. So to solve out this problem architect industry introduced 2D and 3D technology to make Architectural design drawings. It allows to make design in proper way and reducing the possibility of redesigning. Modern software is making many things easier in Architectural design for professional architects.
An architectural design drawing represents every details of the plan with maximum accuracy and quality. The services that architectural drawings include described as below:
• 2D Drafting Architecture: It is used to refer floor plans, Wall Sections, Elevations, Lighting, Furniture layouts, Foundation plans and Roof Sections.
• 3D architectural Modeling Services: It is used to generate 3D Exterior Models, 3D Interior Models, Cross Section Models and Fixture Assemblies. It is also used in landscaping drawings.
• 3D Architectural Rendering: 3D Exterior Rendering Views, 3D Interior Rendering Views, Furniture 3D Rendering and 3D Product Rendering can be achieved by it.
• 3D Animation and Walkthorugh: It Includes services like Exterior Walkthrough, Interior Walkthrough, Conceptual Walkthrough and Industrial Walkthrough.
So due to the various forms of Architectural Design Drawings, it is used in different areas like interior and exterior planning, urban planning, Ancient Monuments and Institutional Buildings.

A steel detailer is a person who is generating drawings for steel fabricators and steel erectors. Professional Steel Detailers are using latest technology to make steel Detailing. The technology is most famous among all steel fabricators and steel erectors.
Steel Structure Plans, Drawings and other documentation are prepared by professional detailer with maximum accuracy. A steel detailer is making drawings for Columns, Beams, Stairs and Handrails. It is used in Building Construction, Bridge Development and Industry Development. All architects, engineers and contractors are work closely with a Steel detailer.
A professional Steel Detailer generally prepares two type of Drawings described as below:
· Erection Drawings: These kinds of Drawings are showing dimensioned plans of structure. It also used to guide steel erectors.
· Shop Drawing: It is also well known as Detail Drawings. Detailing requirements are measured by Detail Drawings. It shows required dimensions, member size and specification of material.
In past time steel detailing was completed by using manual drafting models using paper and pencils. But today professional engineers introduced CAD to replace this manual method. By using the CAD Software a steel detailer generates steel detailing and fabrication drawings with more accuracy on computers. A steel detailer must be expert in following terms:
· Anchor Setting plan
· Steel Fabrication Drawing
· Structural Steel Drawing
· Connection Details
· Reinforcement Detailing
