The Architect’s Guide to the U.S. National CAD Standard

Hall is founder and managing principal of a Charlotte, North Carolina architecture firm; Green is a senior project architect with a firm in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Both authors have served on the Uniform Drawing System Program Task Team. In this text, they demonstrate the options and techniques that design firms can use to implement various concepts of the U.S. National CAD Standard (NCS) into the workplace. Designed to be used side by side with the NCS, the text’s chapters are numbered and arranged to parallel the NCS. Each chapter concludes with a list of frequently asked questions with responses based on the authors’ interpretation of the standard and information from their personal use and experience with the NCS in their workplaces. For architects, engineers, designers, CAD technicians, students, emerging professionals, and facility managers and owners. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
