Interior design is the process of addressing environmental parameters when devising plans, programs, policies, buildings, or products. Classical prudent design may have always considered environmental factors. One of the important part of interior design is Architectural Drawing & Rendering.

Architectural CAD Drawing literally means architectural drawings on Computer in digital format. This finds application for residential, commercial projects, floor design, elevations, 2D and 3D presentation drawings. These drawings and documents cater to realtors, owners, consultants, engineers and contractors.

Architectural rendering and walkthroughs have become a powerful application. They are not only powerful marketing tools, but also assist in finding design faults before construction work begins.

Renderings & Animations are effective tools to help communicate your ideas & products in the marketing stage or to help illustrate your conceptual designs to others in your organization.

Presenting your project or product in visually appealing form gives you an edge over other artistic mediums. Clients rely on the final product so why not present your product with a 3D rendering, animation or walkthroughs. 3D Rendering and walkthroughs are becoming increasingly important selling concepts in the world of architectural design. Would you like to take a look at your newly constructed office building without being physical present on the location? Would you also like to take a look at the flooring you have chosen for your house? Through the walkthrough, you can do all this!

Importance of Light in 3D Rendering

However, light, perspective and material are significant components in 3D visualization rendering. It brings not only the look and feel for the image, but also helps to visualize the design in reality. Difference between existence and absence of light inside a scene is very important. For example, light coming from a correctly chosen angle, has a determining effect on transparency of glass. If the angle is not correct, it will not be clear that there is glass

Importance of 3D Rendering in Automotive industry

Increasing competition within the automotive industry means that the manufacturing companies are now moving towards complete digital development processes involving advanced digital prototyping. For these processes to work successfully companies need to use integrated, high-quality rendering within their 3D CAD applications, so that they can accurately visualize their products at any stage of the design, development and manufacturing process.

A SUNYANI-BASED Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Centre for Active Development (CAD), has secured an amount of £41,780.97 from the Right and Voice Initiative (RAVI), a group of international NGOs, to operate a scheme dubbed District Accountability Project (DAP).

The programme, which hopefully would be extended to other parts of the country, currently has four districts as its beneficiaries.

The four include the Asutifi and Tano South districts in the Brong-Ahafo Region and Garo Tempane and Bawku West districts in the Upper East Region.

According to the Project Coordinator, Peter Asore, twenty communities, five from each district, would benefit from the project.

Mr. Asore noted that out of the £41,780.97, £34,780.97 would cover direct cost (field programme) while the remaining £7,000 covers indirect cost, including payment of staff among others.

The Coordinator indicated that such advocacy programmes were meant to educate the rural folks especially, on their rights and participation in the decision-making process.

DAP, according to Mr. Asore, aims at contributing to citizens’ participation in effective revenue mobilization and utilization for development.

Already, CAD has held series of sensitization meetings with locals as well as members of the beneficiary district assemblies, DCEs, chiefs and other opinion leaders to educate them on the objectives of the programme.

He disclosed that some baseline studies done in those areas revealed that often petty quarrels ensued between revenue collectors and tax payers due to the fact that payees did not understand why they should pay tax.

Payees, he added, were also ignorant of the fact that the various assemblies were accountable to them and therefore failed to demand to know how much revenue the assemblies had generated and how those monies were used.

“There is also an issue of apathy on the part of tax payers which leads to mistrust and consistently social strife among community members and revenue agents,” he noted.

“Ignorance has been identified as a major limiting factor, preventing the ordinary people from demanding their rights from duty bearers,” he added.

The district accountability project, therefore, would help in putting pressure on authorities to carry out their obligations while creating space for citizens to participate in revenue collection and utilization so that development interventions would respond directly to the needs of beneficiaries.

A recent deluge of international contracts including £15m deals in China alone has spurred a UK engineering firm into a recruitment drive which could see it return to its seventies glory days.

Luton-based Hayward Tyler has survived two world wars, evolving from its initial guise as a plumbing manufacturer after the Napoleonic Wars into an engineering firm providing its pump and fluid-filled motor technology at the forefront of the oil & gas, power generation, renewable energy and chemical processing industries.

A recent surge in worldwide orders for its pumps and motors from far-flung regions of the globe including China and Yemen have initiated a major recruitment drive for the firm, which is aiming to regain staff numbers it boasted in the seventies.

Hayward is looking to increase the headcount by 10 per cent, adding 20 staff in all areas of the business, “from the shop floor right through to regional managers,” said Larry Redmond, director of human resources at the firm.

“This is an exciting time for the company and we now need to fill a number of important positions over the coming months.”

It is indeed an exciting time for the company, after it secured large orders from China, The Yemen and Malaysia this month alone.

Founded in 1815, the company has had a rich history, but the latest growth in staff numbers will need to go a long way to regain the heady heights of success the company experienced during the 1970s.

Hayward Tyler won’t need to expand its premises to accommodate the influx of staff, as the company has downsized considerably over the last 30 years, leaving plenty of space for new employees.

“When I came on board as an apprentice in 1975, we had 600 employees here in Luton, so as we now have just 200 we have plenty of room for these 20 and a fair few more,” Redmond continued.

But the company is moving from strength to strength, against the widely publicised downturn in the UK engineering sector, and has won numerous contracts from energy firms across the globe.

In the early part of its history, Hayward Tyler manufactured mineral water machinery, hydraulic presses, water closets and day to day plumbing accessories.  

Later, in 1903, Hayward Tyler developed the first automobile at its factory in Luton but a serious fire destroyed the prototype.

Before the First World War the company started to manufacture submersible motors and pumps and these were later followed by high pressure pumps that would be used in nuclear power stations.

Today, the company has taken its engineering expertise forward and has become a world leader in motor and pump technology.

It has further strengthened its forward order book by receiving additional new orders for Glandless Motor Pumps from Shanghai Boiler Works (SBWL) and Dong Fang Boiler Group (DFBG) in China, bringing the number of pump units ordered by the two companies in 2007 to 37, with a collective value in excess of £15m.

The latest set of orders are all for the company’s glandless motor pumps, which will be used on Advanced Supercritical Once-Through (ASOT) boiler sets that are being built for new power stations in China.

“ China and the Asia region continue to be a powerhouse of industrial growth and it is important that we continue to grow our market leading position in these markets as they drive for cleaner energy provision,” said Hayward Tyler’s general manager in China, John Ling.

As part of SBWL’s expansion three of the sub-critical boilers will be exported to India & Indonesia – two for the thermal power plant in India and the other for the Suralaya power station in Indonesia.

A major factor for the continuation of the strong relationship between SBWL and Hayward Tyler is the local aftermarket support provided by Hayward Tyler’s service facility in Kunshan, near Shanghai.

The Luton firm also has a strong presence in the oil & gas market and has delivered 16 gear driven side entry mixers for the Yemen Refining Company’s two refineries, based in Aden and Marib. It also fulfilled a significant Malaysian order from Inovatif Erat (IESB) for three closed drain transfer pumps for use on an offshore oil & gas rig in the South China Sea.

Autodesk revit software supports compliance to LEED green certification standards.

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), the world leader in 2D and 3D design software for the manufacturing, building, and media and entertainment markets, has highlighted the benefits of its sustainable design solution at the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) 2008 – 8 th World Congress, which was recently held at the Grand Hyatt, Dubai.

Participating as a gold sponsor, the company showcased its unique Revit platform - an architectural design and documentation system that supports sustainable design. Specifically designed for building information modeling (BIM), the Autodesk Revit platform is comprised of Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP.

Building information modeling (BIM) enables testing and analysis of new and better materials, while also reducing waste. Recycled and non-traditional materials can now be tested in a digital 3-D model to ensure safety and long-lasting performance. Designers can also use visualization software to show clients how a new design or material will look, reducing risk and re-dos.

“As Dubai strengthens its movement towards adopting green building standards to ensure a healthy and environment-friendly city in line with the Dubai Strategy 2015 initiative, we are committed to increasing awareness on the benefits of sustainable design as a viable solution to today’s most pressing environmental concerns,” said Manish Bhardwaj, Field Marketing Specialist, Autodesk, Middle East.

“With the unprecedented expansion of the global real estate market, our participation at the CTBUH 2008 - 8 th World Congress is aimed at highlighting the outstanding sustainable design features of our Revit platform to developers and design professionals from across the globe.”

The introduction of Dubai Strategy 2015 - a directive from H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, that mandates builders and developers to comply with green building standards starting January 2008 - has preceded CTBUH’s decision to hold its 8 th World Congress in Dubai.

The world’s leading international body in the field of tall buildings has recognised the emirate’s remarkable efforts in adopting sustainable design across all its present developments. The event discussed the influence of mega projects on the present conditions of the environment, which has deemed it a perfect venue to showcase Autodesk’s Revit platform and bring forward its top-notch features.

“Architects, structural engineers and building systems engineers today are constantly on the lookout for computing tools that make it faster and easier for them to realize their ideas. As the market matures, calls for environmental awareness ring louder than ever. Our participation at CTBUH 8 th World Congress stands as a testament to our resolute commitment towards promoting technologies that advance the adoption of sustainable design within the real estate sector, which is considered as the largest single contributor to the global issue of climate change.” said Dr. Jayant M. Deshpande, Director, CAE Division, OMNIX.

During the event, Autodesk Industry Programs Manager Erin Rae Hoffer delivered an address on the role of building information modeling in sustainable design, describing how this technology helps architects, engineers and contractors create built environments that are more environmentally sensitive.

“The core of the ‘sustainability’ concept is meeting the needs of the present while improving the ability of future generations to meet their needs,” said Hoffer.

“By discussing design innovation within this global conversation and highlighting the importance of implementing better design protocols, we will be able to address the global sustainability challenges we are facing today. As the world leader in design and visual effects software, we are providing customers with solutions that simplify and encourage sustainable design decisions.”

By adopting BIM, architects, engineers, contractors and owners can easily create coordinated, digital design information and documentation; use that information to accurately predict performance, appearance and cost; and reliably deliver the project faster, more economically and with reduced environmental impact.

Autodesk 3-D building information modeling is a critical tool in the global effort to shift the building sector to a more sustainable model. Autodesk is also actively involved in teaching practitioners how to make sustainable materials and design techniques the new norm.

Subscribed Links, formerly known as Search Add-ons offer a way for you to add information from additional sources or services to your Google search results. If someone is signed into their personal account that they set up on any google domain, then they could subscribe to a subscribed link offering under that account.
A subscribed link help users to see the top search results for various search subjects from his Search Engine Roundtable blog. When you search using queries that match your Subscribed Link, information from the provider will appear in your search results. Subscribed Links provide a means for web publishers to add information to the top of Google search results based on relevant search “triggers”. Web publishers do this by submitting a Subscribed Link URL or uploading a Subscribed Link file to Google, and by getting their users to “subscribe” to their Subscribed Link.  For example, if a user likes to travel and they find the content from certain major travel web sites to be particularly helpful, they would subscribe to those sites. By subscribing, they insure that the content of these sites will be brought to the top of search results when searching on relevant keywords.
One can display links to his services for the customers, provide news and status information updated in near-real-time, answer questions, calculate useful quantities, and more. To view a list of available Subscribed Links with example queries, visit the Subscribed Links directory.
Best Practice
Google does provide some guidelines for “best practices” when creating Subscribed Links. Perhaps the most important guideline is that Subscribed Links should only trigger on queries that are relevant to their content. Google feels very strongly about this, going so far as to say: “if your results flagrantly violate the principle of triggering only on relevant queries, Google reserves the right to disable their display entirely…”, per their Terms of Service.
 

Other guidelines include:

• The title of your output (Output name=”title”) should be in proper sentence case (first word capitalized, only proper nouns capitalized thereafter).
• In outputs, you should not make excessive use of capital letters and non-alphanumeric ASCII characters.
• Output body text (Output name=”text1″, Output name=”text2″, and Output name=”text3″) should provide information that is immediately useful and relevant to the defines queries. The output should not simply contain generic advertisements for your goods and services.
• Again, “If your results flagrantly violate these guidelines and produce a bad user experience, not only will users tend to remove them, but Google also reserves the right to disable your results entirely, as described in the Terms of Service.”
   

What you can do with Subscribed Links

• Create search results specific to your product, service, or expertise.
  Design a basic version in minutes to see how it works.
• Build a dynamic version using XML, TSV, or RSS files or feeds.
• Include images in your Subscribed Links.
• Include Google Gadgets in your Subscribed Links.
• Test your Subscribed Links interactively and get debugging messages.
• Define query patterns using lists of keywords or regular expressions.
• Invoke the calculator to help construct your results.
   

Benefits of subscribed links :

• Subscribed Links helps web publishers for easy availability of their contents to users. Additionally, it benefits them for placing their content at the top of Google search results above “generic” search results.
• It provides end users with a powerful means of enhancing their search experience and results, providing them with content from “trusted” sources and helping to filter out or push low value content down in search results.
• It should allow Google for supply of much more powerful and relevant search results to users over time, further enhancing the user search experience.
• Subscribed Links also gives end users the ability to “vote” on sites that they find to be valuable or authoritative. By going through the process of subscribing to a site, they are in essence casting a vote attesting to the value of that site.
• A distinctive benefit of Subscribed Links is that the content of low-value or spam web sites will be placed down in search results as high-value content is brought to the top. Web publishers who offer sites of little of no value, or who abuse Subscribed Links by using irrelevant search triggers to bring up their content, will be “punished” by end users who will not subscribe to their sites or will unsubscribe once they realize that the publisher is not providing any value.
   

How to Create a Subscribed Link
To enable Subscribed Links, click the “Preferences” link next to the main search box on the plain or Google home pages. Web Publishers create Subscribed Links by creating a Subscribed Link file. Google provides web publishers with three ways of creating Subscribed Links:

1. By creating a tab separated value (TSV) file
2. By submitting an RSS/Atom feed that has been augmented with special tags that define the keyword (search) “triggers”
3. By submitting a Subscribed Links file in XML format

Subscribed Links are submitted to Google in one of two ways:

1. By submitting a link feed URL. This is the method for submitting links for dynamic content   or for content files of over 500KB in size.
2. By uploading a Subscribed Links file. This is the method that is recommended for static content and content under 500KB in size.

Your Subscribed Links will appear in the fourth search result position. You can identify your Subscribed Link by the link that appears next to this result that reads “Manage my Subscribed Links.”
 

Subscribed Links has several new features:
Management from the Google Preferences page
New look and feel in the search results
Improved directory content
 

What does the Subscribed Links section of the Preferences page do?
This section of the Google Preferences page allows you to manage your Subscribed Links, which are specialized results that you can choose to display on your Google search results page. From the Preferences page, you can see a complete listing of the providers you’ve subscribed to, get more information about these Subscribed Links, or remove them from your account. You can also visit the Subscribed Links directory for a complete listing of available Subscribed Links.
 

Some drawbacks :

• When multiple Subscribed Links from different providers are triggered for the same query, only one of them will be displayed in full, with single links summarizing the others.
• If you’re searching for something that doesn’t trigger your Subscribed Link, it will not appear in your search results. Try reviewing the example queries that the Subscribed Link provider listed on their descirption page, which is accessible from the Subscribed Links directory.
• Make sure you’re signed in to your Google Account. You need to be signed in for your Subscribed Links to return in your search results.
   

Broken or spammy Subscribed Link :
If a Subscribed Link isn’t working properly, please report the issue on Google Subscribed Links group or try contacting the provider.
 

unsubscribe from a Subscribed Link :
You can manage your subscriptions from the My Subscriptions section of the Subscribed Links pages. To remove a Subscribed Link from your account, click the “Unsubscribe” button next to its logo.

3D rendering is the 3D computer graphics process of automatically converting 3D wire frame models into 2D images with 3D  photo related effects on a computer. 

Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene. This can be compared to taking a photo or filming the scene after the setup is finished in real life. Several different, and often specialized, rendering methods have been developed. These range from the distinctly non-realistic wire frame  rendering through polygon-based rendering, to more advanced techniques such as: scan line rendering, ray tracing, or radiosity. Rendering may take from seconds to days for a single image/frame. In general, different methods are better suited for either photo-realistic rendering, or real-time rendering. 

Rendering for interactive media, such as games and simulations, is calculated and displayed in real time, at rates of approximately 20 to 120 frames per second.

In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wire frame representation of any three-dimensional object ( either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D Printing devices. 

Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.

1)  Raster to Vector Conversion 

2) Integration of External Database into Vector data 

3) Image or Vector Data projection into desired coordinate systems

4) Conversion of Topological data into Object data

5) Creation and attachment of Object attribute data to specified objects

6) Exporting object data to external database table

7) Cleaning of complex vector data of Point, Line and Polygon Features

Topographic mapping services is the most widely used category among all maps. In topographic maps, the contour lines are used to show the elevation and shape of the land. This feature distinguishes topographic maps from all the other kinds of maps. 

The topographic mapping services render the ups and downs of the terrain from a three-dimensional (3D) to a two-dimensional (2D) surface. In India, the Survey of India is responsible for all topographic surveys, control, and mapping. 

Topographic mapping services have a wide range of applications, such as:

1) National defense

2) Disaster and emergency response

3) Facilities and asset management

4) Energy and mineral exploration

5) Positioning and navigation

6) Market analysis

A geographic information system(GIS) is a framework for understanding our world and applying geographic knowledge to solve problems and guide human behavior.

A GIS can produce information that answers specific questions and allows you to share that information with others. By visualizing relationships, connections, and patterns in data, client can make informed decisions and increase efficiency throughout client’s organization.
