Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization is the company MCP 2010 Ingeniería C.A., where we elaborate civil engineering projects, in the branches of housing and buildings for our clients. In this sense, as we elaborate the different stages of design in each project, we hold meetings with our clients to show progress and share opinions on issues in which we have concerns. On these occasions we carry a portable computer with internet connection to discuss all the aspects related to the project, with AutoCAD 360. The main aspects that are discussed in this type of meetings are in the area of architecture the dimensions of the rooms and common areas. In the structure, the dimensions and materials of the columns and beams belonging to the building. In waterworks, the location and pressure of drinking water, the layout and limitations of wastewater and the location of the connections to the local urban network are considered. For electrical installations, the location with respect to the sanitary installations and the dimensions of the network, capacity and layout are detailed. All for the sake of our customers.

Pros and Cons

Download a file from my cloud storage site
The zoom in and zoom out tool
The cloud line type for further evaluation
The rotation function on 3D models
The displacement command for lines and blocks
The lines and polines drawing command

The select command sometimes is hard to do
The dimensions are not so easy
The main users are for IPad and there's no android based app

Return on Investment

the assertiveness in the fulfillment of scheduled time
the cost reduction of projects

Alternatives Considered

pdf and Adobe Acrobat DC

The AutoCAD 360 can work directly from the program, making changes or indicating where changes should be made while agreements are reached for the good of the project you are working on, the other systems show you the plan, but they do not help you with the edit or modifications

Other Software Used

AutoCAD, FreshBooks, ArcGIS

Likelihood to Recommend

As first scenario I think on a floor of a building and all aspects of it are shown, walls, doors, furniture, etc; for this scenario, the positive aspects of the AutoCAD 360 apply very favorably. As a second scenario, I propose the 3D model of the building and all possible views of it, with the urbanism, the positive aspects of the AutoCAD 360 work correctly. As a third scenario, I propose a design of water and electricity, with different heights in the layout and view of the plant, however the program will have problems in its execution
