Today, most architects are used to the complex workflow of using multiple tools during the design process. These traditional legacy tools can be bulky and slow, hamper creativity, and often do not ...

Designers need powerful tools and methods to address the challenges of modern design. Computational design combines art and algorithms to support and enhance the design process. It can pave the way ...

This technical FAQ examines three modeling gaps identified in engineering literature and outlines algorithmic methods to ...

Simple drafting programs just let you draw like you’d use a pencil. But modern programs use parametric models to provide several benefits. One is that you can use parameters to change parts of your ...

Using the computer to design objects by modeling their components with real-world behaviors and attributes. Typically specialized for either mechanical design or building design, a parametric modeler ...

Simple tools are great, but sometimes it is most convenient to just use something easy, and since it gets the work done, you don’t try out some of the other features. Tinkercad is a great example of ...
