27. Introduction 1 1 Present Scenario 1 AEC Buildings is a proactive application designed keeping in view the engineers architects managers builders and other suppliers spending several weeks in designing conceptual plans or spend hours of their time in understanding the drawing and recreating as they reguire time and again like guantity calculations 3D drawing progress reporting coordinate drawings and element wise sectional plans for construction among several other benefits 1 2 Aim of this program 2 AEC Buildings performs the same functionality as that of a building guantity surveyor a draftsman and an estimating engineer working all together to estimate guantities and produce Drawing while seamlessly integrating AutoCAD AEC Buildings captures data from AutoCAD drawings categorizes stores them in tables and works out guantities element wise and level wise for your analysis planning scheduling and procurement AEC Buildings captures 2D drawing objects with original coordinates determines the positioning and member sizes and models with respect to levels defined defaulted The program publishes the entire model geometry to ERP programs and Excel The program also summarizes the several reports volume and area based apart from shuttering areas Finally the program models the entire structure back to the CAD 2D and 3D drawings GOOD FOR CONSTRUCTION Therefore AEC Buildings 2009 is the simplest and guickest innovative 3D Ouantit
