How the design technology space in India is undergoing a massive transformation!

The design industry in India is growing at a staggering 23-25 per cent annually, transforming the very way we look at the world around us. According to a recent India Design Report by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the industry was worth 18,332 crore in 2020 and is further growing with the maximum concentration of designers in the area of architecture and interior design.

With the increased focus on creating original designed offerings, it is being noticed is a changing trend towards in house design departments. This signifies the increasing importance of design across sectors from architectural design, landscape architecture, industrial design, automotive and retail design, among others.

Growing population, rising income levels and the rapid growth of the Indian IT sector are becoming key drivers for the Indian real estate industry, it is projected to witness exponential growth in the years to come. This will generate a demand for qualified architects  to have the right skills and technology at the backend to design living and working spaces for the future. Post the pandemic, there is a need to design shared spaces with a focus on individual experiences, social distancing, and technological innovations,  a demand that has challenged the traditional design narratives for architects, urban planners, interior designers and product designers. In this landscape, the need of the hour is cutting-edge technologies that can enable this change. For instance, using a 3D model to showcase an architectural project that uses VR to bring it to life, or building upon a ‘live’ digital file for design that several members of a team can access and build upon real time can really make work more efficient and seamless.

Companies like Autodesk, a global leader in design and make technology, are transforming  the world is designed and made with their cutting-edge software solutions for architecture, engineering and construction, product design and media and entertainment sectors as they offer the right tools for creativity at work.

 AutoCAD's help :

AutoCAD is undoubtedly one of the most popular brands of software for Computer Aided Drawing (CAD)  helps create blueprints for buildings and townships on your computer. The USP of the software is that it allows structural experts to draw everything in precise detail and to scale, and can be used to design any kind of structure. To makes AutoCAD special for professionals is that it is packed with features that make the process of creating 2D and 3D drawings extremely seamless. The drawings thus created look real and can help imagine  the landscape being created will actually look like. Architects can also remove or add features real-time to improve the overall aesthetics of the project. AutoCAD enables creation of near-real 3D models with solids, surfaces and mesh objects. In addition, you can also automate tasks such as comparing drawings, counting, adding blocks, creating schedules and more. It also comes with industry-specific tool sets like Architecture tool set, Mechanical tool set, Map 3D tool set, MEP tool set, Electrical tool set, Plant 3D tool set, Raster Design tool set, among others that suit the needs of different professionals and offers an improved connected experience across different platforms allowing for easier collaborations and file sharing.  In keeping with the swift changes in technology, the new AutoCAD offers seamless connections with the web and mobile apps. With the conversion to Cloud, the 3D models created can be rendered online without consuming processing power or disk space on your computer, it is a real boon for heavy design files that are created using this software. Such is the power of Cloud that you can enjoy a connected design experience across AutoCAD on virtually any device and don’t necessarily need a computer with high configurations.

 AutoCAD LT different :

AutoCAD LT allows you to create and edit 2D figures and models on the software. You can create drawings and annotate these with text descriptions, dimensions, leaders and tables. The software also allows for personalization, as you can customize the ribbon and tool palettes to suit the requirements of your work. AutoCAD LT allows for seamless sharing of files between different users and system, and you can also attach and import data from PDF files. This is not all. The platform is compatible with DGN files and Bing Maps, allowing you to import data from these formats and use it too
