Why are CAD maps useful?
Maps in CAD format are an important tool for many industries, including architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and urban planning. They can help improve efficiency, accuracy, collaboration, and sustainability, and allow designers to create highly precise models and simulations of real-world objects and environments. They allow designers to create 2D models of buildings, landscapes and land features which can help everyone involved in a project visualise the final result. CAD maps can also help create accurate measurements and scale models which is crucial in the building industry. They can also help architects test out different designs and scenarios virtually without the need to build physical models which can save time and money by reducing the number of iterations needed to arrive at a final design, therefore, improving efficiency.
