There are a wide range of options for urban planners to convey their ideas. Some city planners use traditional drawing methods to visualize their plans, and some use physical mock-ups using 3D elements. However, none of the methods are as efficient as Planning with AutoCad. CAD can be used to create models of streets, buildings, bridges or entire city models. The drawings are in 3D, and they allow the planners to customize and add additional information if necessary. The CAD drawings have cost efficiency of traditional drawings and accuracy of physical mock-ups. For this reason, many city planners are beginning to prefer CAD over other methods.
