PoolDraw® XML and 3D
- Powered by Visi3D™
One of Visio’s most powerful, yet least proclaimed, features is its ability to produce CAD drawings in sufficient detail for the needs of most construction projects. Whether the job requires importing or exporting AutoCAD dwg files or working within layers for different trades, Visio provides a familiar and intuitive drawing user interface and tool set. Additional functionality can be added to facilitate completing the requirements of any design/build construction process.
