In shipbuilding, 2D manufacturing drawings are crucial for building a ship. Even various types of 3D models are being utilized for supporting ship manufacturing, which does not reduce the importance of 2D drawings. Recently things are changing in the shipbuilding industry. To reduce the number of 2D drawings or to reduce the quantity of information contained in 2D drawings, some attempts that can substitute for 2D drawings are being made. One of the attempts is to visualize lightweight 3D manufacturing models in a mobile device. In this paper, a method for displaying lightweight 3D models of a ship in an Android based device is introduced. To overcome the problem with parsing JT files in Android system, JT files are parsed in a Windows based server and as-simple-as-possible visualization data are transmitted to an Android based viewer. A comparison result with a commercial system is also given.

STEP AP218 has a standard schema to represent the structural model of a midship section. While it helps to exchange ship structural models among heterogeneous automation systems, most shipyards and classification societies still exchange information using 2D paper drawings. We propose a feature parameter input method to generate a 3D STEP model of a ship structure from 2D drawings. We have analyzed the ship structure information contained in 2D drawings and have defined a data model to express the contents of the drawing. We also developed a QUI for the feature parameter input. To translate 2D information extracted from the drawing into a STEP AP2l8 model, we have developed a shape generation library, and generated the 3D ship model through this library. The generated 3D STEP model of a ship structure can be used to exchange information between design departments in a shipyard as well as between classification societies and shipyards.

In architecture projects, BIM library has widely been using for prefabrication of products and design process. However, since the shape of structures is different by each project in civil engineering projects and a shape representation system is complicated, it is not easy to develop a standardized BIM library. To solve these issues, this study develops BIM library based on standardized 2D shop drawings for civil structures. The standardized shop drawings, which are the targets of the BIM library model, should be first selected. Besides, in order to define modeling scope with the level of general and shop drawings for each structure, LOD(Level of Detail) and breakdown structure are determined, and development methods of families of 3D object type including 2D profile and rebar through commercial software are established. With these, properties of BIM library are configured, and a utilization model of the BIM libraries is constructed for 3D modeling and a simulation using the BIM library. Therefore, this study can identify properties that are necessary when IFC schema is configured for civil engineering projects. For future, it is expected that easiness of BIM design for the civil engineering projects and generation, management, and analysis system of BIM library for road projects will be secured.

This paper describes a solid modeling system based on a systematic description of techniques for analyzing and understanding on engineering drawings. Main stress is placed on clarifying the difference between the drawing understanding and the drawing recognition. The former, in which we feel major interest, is intrinsically a difficult problem because it inherent contains combinatorial search to require more than polynomial time. Actually, understanding drawings is regarded as a process to recover the information lost in projection 3-D objects to 2-D drawings. But, solid modeling by automatic understanding of the given drawings is one of the promising approach, which is described precisely in the text. Reviewing the studies performed so far, we summarize the future direction of the project and inevitable open problems left.

Since a great number of 2D engineering drawings are being used in industry and at the same time 3D CAD becomes popular in recent years, we need to reconstruct 3D CAD models from 2D legacy drawings. In this thesis, a combination of a feature recognition method and an expert system is suggested for the 3D solid model reconstruction. Modeling primitives of 3D CAD systems are recognized and constructed by using the pattern matching technique of the features modeling. Additional information for the 3D model reconstruction can be generated by extracting symbols or text entities which are related to form entities. For complex and indefinite cases which cannot be solved by the process of feature recognition, an expert system with a rule base has been used for decision-making. A 3D reconstruction system which recognizes 2D DXF drawing files has been implemented where models composed with protrusions, holes, and cutouts can be handled.

Especially for resolving BIM data compatibility issue, as one of recently raised BIM technology issues, has also been improved by using open BIM, representatively using IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format. As shown in many case studies, usefulness of BIM technology is increasing day by day, and the IFC-based open BIM technology is essential in recent AEC projects where the productive collaboration is of importance. One of current problems in actual projects is that there is a conflict between conventional ways and newly developed BIM ways. Using both conventional and new technologies leads construction workers to having more work loads, consequently the efficiency and productivity of on-site workers have been decreased. Thus, it is strongly necessary to facilitate 3D BIM models to extract and generate 2D precision drawings in automation, especially using open BIM technologies. Some native BIM authoring tools have limitations in there automatic generation of 2D drawings, and there is no standardized mechanism to generate 2D drawings from heterogeneous applications. For this reason, this paper aims to develop an automated stand-alone program to generate 2D drawings in automation using IFC file, totally independent from various BIM authoring tools. By using the application described in this paper, any type of general drawings such as plan, section and elevation can be extracted without additional efforts. The development approach described in this paper, based on the open BIM technologies, has a strong impact to the current process especially in the perspective of enhancing productivity when we need to find out a trade-off in-between conventional and new approaches.

With property values of buildings rising, interior construction works are also increasing globally. Interior construction technology has developed into building information modeling(BIM) that can estimate and integrate material quantities. Two-dimensional(2D) drawings and three-dimensional (3D) modeling are becoming a trend owing to the demanding on-site cost and process. 2D drawings and 3D modeling have both advantages and disadvantages that give rise to defects during interior construction work. The field problems, 2D drawings, 3D modeling, and preliminary risk factors of interior construction work were analyzed to identify real problems. Based on the problem analysis, various problems were derived, such as (1) communication with purchasers, (2) communication with workers, and (3) comprehension of the drawings. In this study, a checklist for quality improvement of interior construction was proposed to address the aforementioned issues.

CAD systems used in various manufacturing industries have been rapidly switched from 2D to 3D. 3D-based design is becoming common in the shipbuilding industries too. However, there is still a demand for 2D drawings for ship production. So, it is necessary to continually improve 2D drawings. One way to improve 2D drawings is to add production information to the drawings. To do this, it is necessary to define the relation between the geometry information and the production information. Various types of drawings, which is inevitable because each drawing has its own purpose, make it difficult to define relations. This process can be simplified if the drawing information is neutralized. XML is a standard format for defining neutral data, and is already being used in various fields. In this study, a neutral augmented drawing has been defined by neutralizing the drawing information based on XML, and implemented for the allocation of their information with high quality of readability as well.

Building Information Modeling(BIM) is rooted in the economic and functional advantages of maturing from paper-based 2D drawings. The paper-based design and construction drawings are typical production from BIM and using the drawing under BIM environment is needed because there is not an alternative media instead of paper-based drawings. However using the 2D drawing process based on 2D CAD for BIM environment directly has difficulties because there are significant differences in data structure between CAD and BIM. CAD is based on traditional drawings as a whole while BIM is focused on individual objects and providing various levels of information associated with the objects. It can be an obstacle to move from 2D CAD to BIM that we don't have a standard or guideline for BIM. Futhermore, the complexity of drawing in representation would be the obstacle too, so the solution is discussed in the research based on the case of Samoo Architects and Engineers.

Two-dimensional drawings are widely used as a communication tool in the construction industry, but they are still hard to be understood by engineers with less experience. A four dimensional CAD drawing is presented based on marker-based augmented reality, for visual assistance, detailed information, and prevention of misunderstanding among users. The developed drawing enables the users to easily understand its contents through the functions augmenting components, providing detailed construction information, and simulating construction process, using the marker in a 2D drawing. A questionnaire-based survey validates the capability of the developed drawing that it improves inexperienced engineers' understanding of the drawings.
