Besides offering early-stage designing and BIM tools on a collaborative platform, the following are the advantages of using TAD. | Besides offering early-stage designing and BIM tools on a collaborative platform, the following are the advantages of using TAD. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - TAD helps senior architects flesh out a design right from very early stages | ||
+ | - TAD does NOT enforce any methodology for designing. You have the same freedom as in your doodles and initial sketches on paper | ||
+ | - TAD does not entangle the architect with lots of commands and things to learn about the computer. Practically all the commands are based on the logic of going about creating a building on your actual site. There are no references to drawings, graphical entities (// | ||

+ | - TAD allows any number of iterations as you flesh out your design. You may go back and forth, hesitating between various concerns of the design. Should I keep the " | ||
+ | - - TAD offers probing at the very inception of design projects. For example, you can calculate floor space index and energy consumption while preparing concept design. | ||
+ | - TAD even helps in iterations, by allowing you to place any number of properties (of any kind, any number) on any logical element of the design. TAD does not put // | ||
+ | - Talking about iterations once again: While designing you may proceed quite into the design only to realize that the design did not meet your initial higher level objectives. We call such an architect a //potter at work.// So, in some situations, you may actually have to dismantle large parts of your design (metaphorically, | ||
+ | - Because it is so easy to start any design quite raw in TAD Designer, then proceed towards its finaliziation, | ||
+ | - TAD gives you quite good, and extremely fast draft views of your design -- all you need to do is to change the 2D shapes into 3D and set in the " | ||
+ | - The sizes of files in TAD are very, very small. That is why when you save the project -- it goes over to your web account on our website in a jiffy. | ||
+ | - TAD is also made for collaborative designing. More than one architects/ | ||

* TAD uses an object-oriented designing tool called //TAD Designer//. All the shapes that you create in TAD Designer are objects, which can be grouped in classes. | * TAD uses an object-oriented designing tool called //TAD Designer//. All the shapes that you create in TAD Designer are objects, which can be grouped in classes. | ||
* TAD works only on well-formed objects and thus maps each object created in TAD with elements of design, reducing the chances of making errors in the final stages of design projects, such as errors in quantity take-off and costing. | * TAD works only on well-formed objects and thus maps each object created in TAD with elements of design, reducing the chances of making errors in the final stages of design projects, such as errors in quantity take-off and costing. | ||
