specifications capture the intent of the building to be constructed. These documents are
handed over to the builder who is responsible for the execution of ‘means and methods’
complying with the design intent (Allen, Becerik, Pollalis, & Schwegler, 2005). Thus,
practice conventions require communication via working drawings that are being
translated by contractors, manufacturers, subcontractors, and consultants, for
constructability review and shop drawing development (Pietroforte, 1995).
The use of complex surfaces creates ambiguities when the designer attempts to transcribe
the model into paper format. On complex-shaped buildings, architects are representing
the global geometries of external surfaces in 3D – including roofs, cladding, glazing
systems, etc. – while component details are supplemented with conventional 2D
drawings. What used to be a tedious computational method working with 2D segments of
