Questions about the CAD, BIM and the Model poster

What’s on the CAD, BIM and the Model poster?

CAD against BIM, side by side. CAD: Lines that represent things; CAD: Each drawing edited separately; CAD: Fast to start, flexible; CAD: Errors appear as drawings disagreeing; CAD: No data behind the geometry; BIM: Objects that know what they are; BIM: Drawings extracted from one model; BIM: Slower to set up, consistent after; BIM: Clashes found before the site does; BIM: Data carried with the geometry; BIM removes the coordination errors of parallel drawings and replaces them with the d…. A model is not a drawing. Someone still decides what is shown, at what scale, and with what line weights.

Who is the CAD, BIM and the Model poster for?

CAD, BIM and the Model belongs to the Architecture section rather than to a school year, because design is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning representation can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the CAD, BIM and the Model poster?

Use it when deciding how to set a project up. The choice affects how you will work. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so CAD, BIM and the Model belongs on the wall where that design work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with CAD, BIM and the Model?

Annotation and Dimensions, Axonometric and Collage and Atmosphere sit alongside CAD, BIM and the Model in the Architecture section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Annotation and DimensionsAxonometricCollage and Atmosphere

Is the CAD, BIM and the Model poster free to download and print?

Yes. CAD, BIM and the Model downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Architecture section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the CAD, BIM and the Model poster print at?

CAD, BIM and the Model is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of CAD, BIM and the Model loses nothing.Printing guide
