This is a very general question but I will ask it anyway.
I work for an Electrical Construction company who does 2D coordinated Electrical
dwgs on commercial projects.
Our shop wants to go to 3D. I have experimented doing 3D with vanilla AutoCAD by extruding the walls and columns and then drawing in our Electrical Conduits by extruding circles etc.
I was less than happy with the results and quite frankly found it to be very cumbersome.
Our shop is dead set on using plain AutoCAD to do these dwgs.
If anyone has had a similar experience or could shed some light on this subject
it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike in Atlanta
