Abstract

This paper identifies the engineering need for an integrated 2D/3D CAD system and outlines the features of a system that addresses this need. It is argued that an effective combination of 2D drafting and 3D modelling would allow many of the corresponding requirements to be met, particularly with respect to compliant drawings. It is postulated that the key to an effective combination of 2D and 3D is a unified data structure designed specifically for structural engineering applications. The concepts of a prototype data structure that could form the basis of such an integrated 2D/3D system are introduced and related to the engineering requirements.
