Architects need to produce drawings thatare both graphically accurate and full of information, which means thateveryday documentation processes need to be adjusted to meet these requirementswhile saving time and money. In this presentation, you’ll learn how renderingtools and feature sets can be used to enhance the graphic quality of yourdesigns, letting you not only impress your client, but also more accurately communicateyour design intent with contractors and project stakeholders. Attendees willexplore these rendering best practices through sample workflows that showcasecutting-edge technologies in the architecture industry.

Learning Objectives:

2. Evaluate the uses of surface hatches as material textures applied to external building surfaces with hidden line renders in everyday workflows.
