My education began with hand-drafting. Before learning to utilize computerized drafting tools available to architects / drafters, the use of paper, various weight pencils, along with a drafting ruler were where we began our journey, while in school for design.
While no longer using AutoCAD as a primary tool to draft building plans, I have experience using it. I am able to download any plans I do create as .dwg files and transfer them to engineers and other professionals who do utilize AutoCAD. I can also import them, then utilize my software to create 3-D models and topography maps.
Chief Architect is the software I currently utilize as my drafting software. I have 8+ years of working with this software and upgrade to the current version on an annual basis. I am proficient in utilizing most aspects of this software and all it provides for designers and architects.
I spent a full year of my education using REVIT to create both residential and commercial plan sets. While not the software I use in my business, having had a year of focused REVIT work, the foundation has been laid, and I would be confident in my ability to reacquaint myself with the software.
