Besides offering early-stage designing and BIM tools on a collaborative platform, the following are the advantages of using TAD.

• 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 provides a structured designing platform. The object-oriented designing approach enables you to index and archive each element of your design projects.
• 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 is both a solid and a surface modeling tool using some very simple, yet unique mathematics. It requires less computation and memory resources compared with other designing applications, facilitating creation of complex designs. Due toe the terseness of the data (often in just kilobytes) TAD easily works over the Internet
• With the collaborative design platform, TAD encourages accountability of work within an architecture firm.
• TAD simulates designing at site. It provides a visual representation of how objects appear on actual sites.
• 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 supports a programming environment called ARDELA (ARchitectural DEsign LAnguage), which facilitates creation of routines to objectively analyze and designing of objects of any shape. ARDELA is used to develop lots of applications using the TAD platform
• TAD offers just-in-time modeling, a feature that helps architects to change their any moment's notice during the design process. The processs of designing and constructing architecture is full of requirements that suddenly turn up, and need to be accommodated
• Post-design, TAD allows architects to easily export their design files to a number of standard CAD and BIM file formats.
• TAD offers a very simple, easy-to-learn, and intuitive designing interface.
• TAD follows the SFA Taxonomy for architectural objects. Read about it more under TAD Concepts
