| A structural drawing is an essential and must | | | | In past time drawings were created on the |
| required process for any kind of building | | | | papers and there might be possibilities of error. To |
| constructions. Without making layouts in the term | | | | reduce these kinds of errors structural industry |
| of drawings, engineers, contractors or builders | | | | has introduced various software for accurate |
| can't imagine to build a proper building. Structural | | | | outputs. Whole the process takes place on |
| drawings basically involve 2D shop drawings, | | | | computer under professionals so quality output is |
| fabrication drawings and steel drawings. It works | | | | guaranteed. To avoid reconstruction, professional |
| like a language communication between | | | | organizations have introduced international codes |
| contractors and structural engineers. | | | | and standards which must be followed by all |
| For the proper specification of building structural | | | | organizations. |
| engineers are creating the handmade drawings. | | | | After getting much innovation for drawing |
| These drawings show the virtual plan of the | | | | process, experts have introduced 2D and 3D |
| building and it is passed through contractor or | | | | techniques for flexible environment. Use of 2D and |
| builders. After approval draftsmen start the actual | | | | 3D technique in structural drawing, reduced the |
| process to be used for future building | | | | complexity of project. Various tools for 3D |
| construction. These drawings display vital | | | | drawings enable draftsmen to produce accurate |
| information about supporting members like beams, | | | | 3D elements that belong to the related structure. |
