If you didn't have those brands then you felt like the gods of precision haven't answered your prayer.... Those brands are technical drawing icons and still exist till date.

My favorite is 0.5mm which gives a lot more precise line.

I still have over 10 set in the family house. I intend having them and my 1.8m drawing board in the new NextHome office.
I’ll call the corner “Ancient and Modern” grin grin

You better keep them well, Those are precious educational souvenir..... students and folks of these day don't value legacy anymore......now a Faber Castell grafic set of platinum pencil would cost you about 150k.

You don’t mean it. Most of the CAD generation don’t even know what it is.

It seems you’re in the line.

Perspective and Elevation Drawings just came to mind now. Before 3D, there’s freehand perspective drawing grin

For real, those brands produced for all level of educational sectors.....the professional sectors especially art and grafic cost a fortune.....those brands contributed immensely toward technological education and advancement of western Europe hence they are always patronised. They have made a name.
I got my son that iconic Staedtler metal mathematical set but he preferred something fancy, I got him the fancy one but it didn't last long, nobody ask him to pick up old good Staedtler.
Sure! I am into electromechanical.

Question for rental flat owners.

Where did you locate the prepaid meters, centrally or by the units?

For those with solar power, where did you place the equipment, inside the unit or outside?

I thank you in advance.
it placed outside the flat.

Solar panel equipment inside the house close to the junction box

It not interlock ma. It is the new innovation that has more advantages over interlocking.

And yes the price is per square meter.

Thanks.
How much is it per square meter

Manipulating those lines, angles and arcs can be nerve racking, above that you must memorised all symbols and represent all sections accordingly (whether solid or cut through)..... This generation are so lucky, CAD programs like ZWCAD, ZW3D, CADPROFI and ZWBRO has made it more easier as long you understand what you are doing.

One neighbor here was robbed. They woke up to find out that they slept all through a burglary. Money kept amin the same room they were in and electronics were taken. [b]The 3 Rottweilers slept too and vet had to attend to those as they were comatose. [/b]Was it voodoo or some sort of sleeping gas? I don’t know but I think if it was a duplex the perps would have had a tougher time.

Life is getting better now because of software.
That is one of the reason why other professional will tell you he/she can produce architectural drawing for you! Software has cause so many ahit for architect(although you will notice the difference when they present the drawings grin)

Building Design is an ART and Science.
Knowing what you are doing is Paramount.

Same CAD software can be used by another to what is not feasible while another can use It to do what is near perfection.

Its out personalities. Not software alone. The individual behind the scene is key. Understanding the softwares and the principles of architecture and bringing the two into sync is key.

That is one reason we should appreciate the work of those who designed and built our National Monuments (National Theatre, Cocoa House, NECOM Building (NET), Cathedral at CMS, Mapo Hall, Adebisi’s Building in Ibadan and many others.

They’re the real G.O.A.T

These are the things I’m exposed to at early age. In my late 20s, I joined the Late former Vice President and the former President of NIA, Chief Alex Ekwueme’s team, 1919 Properties and we worked on so many multi-dwelling and mixed-use developments in highbrow Ikoyi, Lagos.
