Detail of roof assembly done with WildTools 3D I started with orthogonal detail drawings then using the Shear tool to convert the image to axonometric.

Entrance lighting

Exploded axonometric drawing This drawing was built as a model in Form Z and then exported to EPS format and brought into PowerCADD. At this point the drawing was a mess and had no colour or line weight values. I then set WildTools 3D Axo Cube to the right angles and went to work. So there was a significant amount of PowerCADD time to create the presentation version of the drawing. I find that Form Z is only helpful for quick modeling and spatial understanding, not presentation. It just takes me way too long to get a Form Z model to look good. Using WildTools 3D to get the presentation quality determined how I setup the export from Form Z -- that is why I went through the process of calculating the right view angle in Form Z. -- Craig Burns

Detail of spacial concept This was drawn completely in PowerCADD with WildTools 3D. I must say the SCALED axo tools are possibly the most powerful drafting tools we have. It is just so perfect that the computer can be used to calculate the foreshortening and this really makes clear 3D drawings without having to construct a 3D model on the computer. -- Craig Burns
