I voted yes and other because I support the the Electrical discipline primarilly, but not exclusively. We don't "3D draft" as much as we "model in 3D". May be an anal distinction, but it's how everyone in the industry, locally anyway, refers to it.

What does the Electrical discipline model? Everything from Raceways (Cable Trays), Transformers, Grounding Grids, Control Stations to Heat Tracing Power Points and RTDs yada.

We've been using 3D for the last years on major refinery work for Civil, Structural, mechanical, and electrical applications.

3D modelling for structural steel and mining equipment (materials handling) for about 6 years. Still do some 2d work depending on the client.

I use 3D at the conceptual design phase - architectural.

All my CD's are done 100% in 2D

Yes, but only when using Civil 3D.  The only other time I tried to use 3D was a project sign for a subdivision at a client's request - what a horrible mess I made of that.  It finally worked out, but I am sure most of my time never got billed.

Over 90% 2d , only use 3d for the more tricky stuff. Chose other, as drawing scenery is a little architectural a little mechanical.

Mines the "No"

I have a dream to be able to find a job that uses 3D, so far, no luck :-(

Here's a thought ...

How about some of the members who haven't posted < much or at all > have a vote and post a comment.

It would be good to  hear from you. ... really !



Heh Jonesy, 3D is just 2d with depth ...

Kerry, what sucks is that I used to teach 3D at college, but no-one round here wants to use it.  :realmad:

We are Doing 3D modeling with those 3D models gets  processed for 2D drawing all mechanical.  If you do 3D models do you really need 2D drawings? 

We have old 2D drawings in Autocad.  All new work is done in 3D

Yes to 3D but only in circumstances when a 2D drawing does not adequately convey the design to the construction crew or when we need to examine the way a particular device or assembly works or does not work as the case may be.
