Widespread adoption of 3D technology and the growth of BIM expertise have transformed AEC – but the most important output for any firm is still documentation — more specifically, the production of 2D drawings. Before the arrival of BIM, CAD represented a way to accelerate workflows, a speedy alternative to manual drafting. It supported quick drawing, fast editing and some automation.

BIM is dominated by monoliths. These are single programmes that aim to support the full workflow from concept to documentation and everything in between. If its intention was to compete head-on with these monoliths, albeit with a new, cloud-based offering, a start-up would probably be inclined to build out a similarly monolithic, do-it-all system. However, it’s starting to look very much like this is not the way that BIM 2.0 will play out.

Catia sits at the Ferrari end of the manufacturing CAD spectrum. It’s typically used in demanding engineering design projects in the automotive, aerospace and maritime sectors. Here, the CAD package built and sold by Dassault Systèmes demonstrates its strength in handling complex geometries and huge assemblies, with advanced simulation and analysis thrown into the mix. All this means that applying Catia to AEC projects might initially seem like overkill.

Signature architects sit at the cutting edge of design technology and typically use a vast array of digital tools and services to define their buildings. When they can’t find a commercially available software solution to meet their needs, they turn to their own teams of in-house developers to create custom code instead. The code built by these brightest minds might be intended for a specific project, or applied time and time again, on different work.
