very relevant topic, Thanks Brendan.

Great video Brendan, it took me back to my days as a CAD technician before pursuing a career in engineering. Blueprint reading is critical for all facets in construction and as engineers, we must have a keen eye for reviewing drawings and providing the relative information to support such drawings.

Hi Malik, your ongoing support is greatly appreciated. Drawing as engineers is really our deliverable and a lot of engineers overlook this I enjoy jumping into CAD and draw up some typical details.

Great video Brendan, learned about the effective use of colour in the markups, will incorporate in my future markups.

Hi Aussie Engineer, thanks for watching and the support

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

Hey Brendan. Nice video :) I'm trying to find an editor to help my channel. Where do you find yours? Thanks and great work :)

[@thelimitlessscholar5674]

Hi man, not editor related but I just wanted to thank you for your design book. Got it a few months ago as I transitioned into full time structural design and it has been very helpful. Just wondering if there are any other resources you'd recommend for a newbie like me, cheers!

the link for the vidio did not work. so i seached for it. thank you Structural Engineer

[@tomoki-v6o]

Nice framework . works for any colaborative project.(markup colors)

[@BrendanHasty]

hope you start using the tips

Hey does anyone have a standard check sheet, i.e. an Excel sheet you tick items you’ve checked off?

One of the problems I see these days is that drafties today are not drafties anymore, they are line tracers. Old school drafties used to have the skill to set up drawings and backgrounds for markup, that skill is now lost. All my markups are now in the digital domain, and it will be a cold day in hell before I pick up a physical red pen again!

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Kahuna, I totally agree, a good draftie is worth a lot and seems to some to be undervalued. All markup should be digital, you can leverage so much more with a good digital markup procedure.

site engineers knew this coloring engineering 😂 😂

I'm a structural engineer and I find this not useful. This guide feels more like for students rather than for professionals. I only find colour grading markups to be interesting. The rest felt too general very touch and go. If you want to teach students fine, but if you want to teach professionals you need to go a lot more in depth for each topics. And always use sections to explain plans or use plans to explain sections. It brings more depth to whatever you are explaining.

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for the feedback.

@@thealienrobotanthropologist Autocad is used everywhere thus the most credible and the most recognised. In this profession, it is more about how to convey your idea across efficiently and clearly and AutoCAD is the easiest to do so. I'm not sure what modelling software you are referring to... but even the latest ones I.e REVIT/TEKLA STRUCTURES/CSI/ROBOT All are based from AutoCAD's display and functionality. What software are you referring to that makes Autocad look primitive?

[@layth44]

to be honest, I did not understand a thing!

[@BrendanHasty]

but did you learn anything

[@xrf4810]

Very helpful video. Thank you for sharing.

[@BrendanHasty]

Glad that you enjoyed it, hope the tips come in handy
