CAD Drawings

 

VM Systems utilizes in house CAD detailers to coordinate plan and spec drawings via

computer assisted design (CAD). Since 1996, our CAD detailers have enhanced basic

project design drawings with 3-D imaging to coordinate large commercial jobs.

Using state-of-the-art computer equipment and software, our CAD detailers redraw

the project in a 3-D image that shows elevations and the top and bottom of the ductwork.

They route ductwork to make sure it does not interfere with such things as structural steel,

cable trays, light fixtures, sprinklers, piping and drains. Our software programs used include:

Quickpen Duct Designer 3D, Intelicad, Navis Works Roamer and

AutoCad Architectural Desktop.

With the CAD facility, changes to a project can be made along the way before any ductwork is

fabricated, which greatly reduces the cost to the client. In addition, all of the other trades can

look at our CAD drawings and see exactly where the ductwork will be located- which is not

possible using an engineer's drawing.
