For architects and engineers, choosing the right medium to communicate to their clients is of utmost importance – Why? – Because these professionals have to communicate detailed concepts. For some clients, it doesn’t take much for them to be able to conceptualize a structure. For others it is more difficult and more sophisticated means are required to assist in this conceptualization. Using 3D mechanical drawings may be just what the client needs to understand the design.
Communicating the Idea
Have you ever tried to describe a beautiful scene that you observed only to feel that you failed miserably in conveying the emotion? Architects and engineers have the unenviable task of helping others see what these professionals envision. Failing to use the right medium of communication for the right client could result in the client going elsewhere for their needs. In response to the question of whether physical model making still had a place, two New York architects being interviewed by designboom in 2014 stated the following:
“[S]ome clients can see a plan and section and understand a building, some prefer physical models and some need hyper photo realistic 3D renderings. [W]e use every tool at our disposal rather than being limited to one over another.”
This response reveals the reality for many professionals that they must be able to adapt to the client’s needs.
The 3D Mechanical Drawing Arrow in the Quiver
Of the tools available to professionals, 3D mechanical drawings are one of the most effective in aiding visualization. Mechanical drawings are very detailed and clients that are not trained engineers or architects may struggle with 2-dimensional renditions. With a 3D drawing, much that was hidden comes to light. The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is applicable here. The more real-to-life the picture, the less explanation required and the more impressed the client.
Using Technology Experts
Conversely, 3D drawings that are of poor quality or that fail to adequately depict the professional’s design may have a worse effect than the 2D drawings. Therefore, professionals should take care to choose a sophisticated architectural rendering firm that can deliver detailed drawings that will impress. Firms like The Engineering Design pride themselves on delivering the high quality that professionals need to communicate with their clients.
