This 2D drafting sample is a production drawing used to manufacture air dryer units. These units are used by U.S.Navy ships world wide. In general, the air dryer is designed to purge all wet gases from the ship's air lines without the use of condensi filters or electricity.

This drawing was use by our client to show specifications of this road barricade to the Department of Transportation for approval. This particular drawing was generated using a 3D model, mainly for the ease of creating a 2D isometric drawing. Contrary to belief, 3D models do not take anymore time to generate than generating 2D drawing. The big advantage to using the 3D model is instant updates of all views. You can imagine how much time that can save.

This sample is in the same family as the first 2D sample. However, the client has moved into the 3D environment. Before 3D, finalizing the bill of material was a nightmare. Imagine trying to keep track of all the nuts, bolts, hardware, gauges, etc... and making sure that all views are updated when changes are made. With 3D models all parts are attributed and then extracted to generate an accurate bill of material and all views are updated automatically.
