Posted on April 17, 2012 by admin

Ever tried to find space to roll out a hard copy of a blueprint on your desk? It’s darn near impossible.

No more panning, zooming and scrolling on traditional computer monitors – the iPlan Table boasts a 55-inch touchscreen monitor with a wide array of available features, including 3D graphics and webcam.

Accuracy, Efficiency and Clarity – That’s what AEC stands for, right?

Posted on March 6, 2012 by admin

It does with RevLine drawings from Alabama Graphics

In construction, the slightest change that goes unnoticed can cost thousands of dollars and even cause structural damage. When architects work on building plans, they go through numerous changes to those plans before final blueprints are agreed upon. But what happens if a small change is missed?

RevLine drawings and RevLine document sets are able to identify changes in plans or drawings with a high degree of accuracy in a minimal amount of time. Instead of manually comparing two drawings, detail-by-detail and dimension-by-dimension – which can lead to oversights – simply request a RevLine drawing and the changes are highlighted for you.

But there are so many other uses we can think of for these short-term graphics: Continue reading →
