=**__Comparison and Contrast Paragraph: CAD vs. BIM__** =

**CAD** (**Computer-aided design**) is software, provides the user with input-tools for the purpose of streamlining design processes; drafting, documentation, and manufacturing processes while **BIM** (**Building information modeling**) is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle.

**CAD** and **BIM** are software that lets architects, engineers and students, design, make and process digitally projects. Both are tools for design but **CAT** is for curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) objects. **CAT** is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics, and many more while **BIM** is for extracting different views from a building model for drawing production and other uses. **BIM** typically it uses three-dimensional (3D), real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.
