The technology is making a sea change in the functionalities of the various tools & software which are considered as the inherent part of the advanced architectural modeling.

Mobile technology, especially tablets have improved & speeded up the workflow of a draftsman and 3d modeler significantly through advanced architectural modeling. SHIELD tablet with DirectStylus 2 technology is such type of tool that can transform digital modeling process to the next level. The users can generate different kinds of shapes with complete control through the 3d software in the tablet. The users can also know the exact position for touching the screen as well as keep on zoomed out. Thus huge time is saved in operating with fingers.

DirectStylus 2 technology of the tablet facilitates the users to produce and cooperate advanced architectural modeling.

DirectStylus 2 is based on 192-core Tegra K1 processor and it offers the users to print and smoothly and perfectly like a draftsman works. The exclusive angled carve tip on the stylus resembles the sense of a pencil.

The angled tip is soft and moves fluidly across the screen, giving the right pressure sensitivity when modeling objects.

The architects can combine the SHIELD tablet with the 3d printers to generate schematic forms and instantly render them in 3D.

Autodesk’s FormIt is another useful architectural 3d modeling program for architects compatible with tablets. With FormIt the architects and designers get the ability to silhouette ideas in the office or on the job site. Building models can be accessed in the cloud through a tablet and on a PC. The designers can make drawing in 3d and save the data in the cloud for future application.
