- | * TAD //similates// three persons found on a construction site. One is the [[architect]] and the other are two [[helpers]]. These virtual persons help you a lot in carrying out various actions as you create and edit your design.

+ | * CAD allows all kinds of properties on graphical shapes. But if you look carefully; they are all to do with graphics: line thickness, line style, color of line and plenty more. They do make the drafted drawing look very pretty. | ||

+ | ==== TAD and BIM ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here are the differences between TAD and conventional BIM | ||
+ | |||
+ | * TAD handles early stages of design quite well. You can start on a design, and may not be fully sure of the size and shapes of he rooms you plan to place in your design. Even then, you could possibly get some objective calculations going on in TAD. BIM is not very good at early stages of design | ||
+ | * There are architects who think that early stages of design is to do with playing around with //3D forms// | ||
