Templates - great time savers, efficient design tools
Templates are absolutely invaluable at all levels of design and drafting
. They're the foundations of much of the design materials in any building project, and they're also good as quality controls. A template can be created for any purpose, which increases productivity at all stages of planning. The best
construction software can create great templates which promote efficiency and productivity.
Templates- The smarter option to design
Templates, as the name suggests, are a basic setup mechanism for CAD design. They provide a good environment for design, and simplify the many major tasks in different areas of design, saving a lot of time in basic drafting processes. Templates contain the information which is common to the different plans, eliminating unnecessary duplication of work.
Templates are also used as primary bases for design. They're invaluable as management tools for monitoring planning, providing a "same page" effect which provides both cross checking capacity and quality control at the baseline level. CAD templates can be created for any design function, and are often used as primary initial design tools.
High volume data and templates as solutions
One of the great advantages of templates is their ability to streamline big data loads. It's often the case that plans generate very large amounts of data due to the requirement for individual plans to be created for construction elements. For very large construction projects, that can mean huge amounts of data.
Templates create common forms for plans, reducing the need for individual design plans for each element. This drastically simplifies management, and improves the collaborative design process by creating a lot of regular elements of design.
For example:
With a template, all references are common. Therefore the design process is based on common references. Modifications can easily be dealt with, and plan monitoring is extremely easy.
Templates, productivity and efficiency
Templates provide a solution to a problem which has plagued construction design- The large amount of repetitive labour and time consuming drafting which slows productivity and can put a lot of strain on design teams. The very high volume planning environment doesn't need more work, it needs more efficient work practices.
The added productivity has done a lot of good for designers, freeing them from the staggering workloads imposed by major projects. They're also good for smaller design jobs, particularly in terms of assembly design, detailing and other CAD design jobs where common factors can be present in large amounts.
The other major productivity effect of templates is to reduce the "number crunching" effect. Specifications can be placed on templates to remove the need for individual entry and design notations which are major time and space consumers. A single template can deal with a whole design element which may relate to multiple individual drafting issues.
In all areas of CAD design, like engineering drawing,
drafting software, architectural drafting and detailing software, templates have revolutionized design processes. Templates are the preferred productivity option in these extremely technically demanding areas, which is a good yardstick for evaluation when looking for software which will promote both quality and productivity.
