The benefits of using AutoCAD for structural detailing over ArchiCAD:
1. Precision & Control – AutoCAD offers high accuracy for 2D structural drawings.
2. Industry Standard – Widely used by structural engineers; ensures compatibility and collaboration.
3. Custom Detailing – Better for creating tailored symbols, hatching, and detailing elements.
4. Integration – Easily connects with structural analysis software like protastructure, Autodesk Robot, ETABS or STAAD.Pro.
5. Simplified Drafting – Focused 2D drafting environment, ideal for structural work without BIM complexity.
