Updated ADT Content Library is Faster and Simpler
Users of Autodesk Architectural Desktop (ADT) Content Library now have more UK content at their disposal, making it quicker and easier to use when creating both 2D and 3D drawings.
The practice has been so pleased with ADT that it has just invested in more seats.
"We're seeing an increasing number of owner-operators investing in our technology, showing that its not just global enterprises that can benefit from our products," says Pete Baxter, sales director, Autodesk Building Solutions Division.
"When the person who buys the solution is the same one who uses it - and the one who stands to gain directly from the resulting returns, you know that they will think carefully about what they buy and look for a solution that can really move them forward.
Rosser Morris designs and prepares plans and other details for local authority planning and building regulations, concentrating on the small to medium commercial and domestic markets.
Morris explains that designing in 3D using ADT has improved their service to clients, while at the same time, helping local authorities understand the details of plans submitted which eases the process of getting them approved.
"ADT makes it simple to generate standard section details such as cavity walls, roofs or partitions, which look impressive and help clients understand what their finished structure will look like.
Also, because ADT makes it easy to make changes to a design, we are able to modify drawings without having to make additional charges".
"These features all help us to keep our fees competitive and ensure the final design reflects the client's requirements." says Morris.
"If needed we can send the planning department a 3D model so that they can have a closer look at the impact of an extension, for example.
This means that we can supply them with all the data and detail they need without any hold-ups".
"Smaller businesses need to go that extra mile for clients. Request a free brochure from Autodesk ...
ADT enables us to do this.".
