A widely used 2D and 3D drafting program that produces precise drawings for buildings and construction.
Autodesk describes AutoCAD as software for 2D and 3D drafting and documentation. It is widely used in architecture, engineering and construction to produce precise plans, sections and details. Developers, builders and engineers in Nashville often exchange drawings in this format, and retaining wall plans, profiles and details may arrive that way when a wall is part of a larger set of plans.
We are an independent firm and are not affiliated with Autodesk. We can work from and exchange drawings in common formats so your engineer, architect or general contractor can use them. If you are curious about the software, the official site has information. For you, what matters is that drawings are accurate, coordinated and easy to understand, and we are glad to explain each sheet of a wall plan.
