Who it is for

For anyone who needs an old building drawing in digital form

Work on an existing building often starts with a scan from an archive. Vecdraft turns it into a drawing you can keep working on. The program is in Dutch and is made for Dutch and Flemish building drawings.

Architect

Start from the existing building

A conversion or extension starts with the building as it stands. With Vecdraft you have the archive drawing as DXF or DWG, with walls, doors, windows and dimensions on fixed layers.

  • a base drawing for your design;
  • a 3D model to get to know the building;
  • a SketchUp file with scenes per storey and elevation.

Drafting office

Checking instead of tracing

Tracing a scan takes a lot of attention for little return. Vecdraft does the tracing; you spend your time on checking and finishing.

  • the same layer structure for every drawing;
  • line weights and hatching to the standards;
  • combined sheets split automatically.

Contractor

A drawing to plan the alterations on

For the house you are about to alter there is often only an old permit drawing. Vecdraft turns it into a digital drawing without you spending a day on it.

  • scans from the municipal archive as a starting point;
  • dimensions taken over from the drawing;
  • measure on site what matters: an old drawing is not a survey.

Structural engineer

A base drawing of the existing building

For your own drawings you need the existing floor plans and sections. Vecdraft delivers them as DXF or DWG, with walls on their own layers, so you can draw on top of them straight away.

  • internal and external walls on separate layers;
  • the existing situation as a base layer;
  • a 3D model to see how the building is put together.
