  • In today's video I am showing how to read drawings in construction and how to take basic information and what to have a look when dealing with drawings. I am using a GA drawing and few sections showing how they work together and what particular lines mean.

    Thank you greg I like to calibrate the plan view drawings in bluebeam then convert pdf to png using an online converter then in photoshop create a very large high resolution pixel canvas and then crop and stitch the drawings together then export the drawings as one large high resolution PNG then in my cad program geo locate it. And use them as layerd backgrounds. So I have all of the information in one place. There is a way to use google chrome settings to give you 8k resolution maps as well but this is only really for delivery of measured cable networks for roads or towns or just to have a presentation pdf of planned works.
    Thank you again

      Hi Andre! Don't wait for a course, start applying now and if you think you need a course then look for one, I can't really recommend any for now. Apply for a junior engineer, or assistant engineer positions.

      Hi! Not always, often it's just a step and to make it possible you need the fold in the slab which creates that thickening.
