For architectural design projects, although the
emphasis is on the use of 3D models and BIM
architectural modeling, the time-tested practice
of using 2D architectural drawings and technical
drawings is still common in the AEC industry.
Architectural drafting has evolved from the
drawing board to computer-aided design and
drafting (CAD) software. Drafting practices help
provide architectural construction drawings that
include the technical details of the
architectural, structural, and electrical
elements needed to construct a building.

The basic workflow of an architectural design
project begins with the architect creating a
concept plan which is typically modeled on 3D
architectural models and rendered as
photorealistic images for marketing and
presentation to customers and customers.

Once the conceptual design is approved by the
client, the design is advanced to further detail
and shared with other parties such as structural
and MEP engineers. The way an architect moves
through the design for the "design development"
phase lends itself to two options, either to
develop a more detailed 3D model and then create
subsequent sheets and details using a 3D tool
such as Revit or AutoCAD. , or as is still
customary, develop the design concept in 2D using
more traditional methods.

Architectural drawing is the process of creating
technical drawings including plans, sections,
elevations, detail drawings and other documents
in a construction drawing set (CD set), which are
usually required for construction of a
building.   The difference between architectural
drawing and modeling   Architectural drafting
refers to the creation of 2D technical drawings
and architectural construction drawings which are
primarily used by on-site contractors and
consultants. 3D architectural modeling refers to
the creation of 3D models and photorealistic
image renderings which are primarily used to
present the architectural design for marketing
purposes and then progress from there to create
the 2D technical drawings, which feel actually as
an extra step (the 3D modeling element).

Why architectural drawing is still common in
architectural design practices   Architects and
designers prefer 3D architectural models because
they provide a 3D perspective of the building's
conceptual plan makes it easy to manage project
data and allow for on-the-fly design changes.
However, construction companies that require
technical specifications of architectural
projects prefer 2D technical drawings and
architectural construction drawings as they
provide precise details needed for
construction.

Suitability for construction requirements In
some construction projects, 2D technical drawings
or architectural CAD drawings are sufficient to
complete the construction, when the additional
information provided by 3D models is not
required. A construction drawing set (CD set)
includes all floor plans, elevations, sections
and detail drawings needed for construction.
Technical codes, symbols and other additional
information, such as type of material, are
provided on the technical drawings. Therefore,
construction companies consider 2D technical
drawings sufficient to complete the construction.

Availability of technical resources - Not all
companies have the technical resources to provide
3D models. Although drafting teams are qualified
to work in AutoCAD to deliver 2D technical
drawings, they may not be qualified to work in
Revit to deliver 3D models. In the construction
industry, the availability of drafting equipment
that can provide 2D technical drawings is vast
compared to companies that provide 3D modeling
services.

Availability of software The adoption of new
software and practices is gradual and slow in the
construction industry. The software used in
construction projects varies from country to
country. Some countries use ArchiCAD and AutoCAD
Architecture instead of Revit, resulting in
project data incompatibility. 2D technical
drawings in AutoCAD are widely used and
supported, making it a preferred choice for 3D
Revit models.
