Abstract
Computers were applied in construction towards the end of the 50s. In the meantime CA-X technologies rapidly evolved in areas such as integration of application software, 3D modelling and simulation, multimedia systems, artificial intelligence, CADCAM, robotics, and computer-based integration of design, construction and facility management. The structural changes under way in the construction industry ask for a transition from mere CAD, where ,,D" stands for design and drafting, towards CAC, where the second ,,C" represents construction , thus further processing the previously generated CAD data
