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



My 1st 3ds using the projection method was in 97/98...... the method stock like 1+1

I’ll rather work with a reputable company like yours than pick a tiler on the street.
It saves you from headaches and unnecessary worries.

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

Pic 1: The 99 Room Adebisi’s Building, Ibadan built in 1927
Pic 2: National Theatre, Lagos

______
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.

Those were natural talents, architecture were way different and complex than now, and their results have stood the test of time with minimal signs of wear and tear and their durability and substances still rivals modern builds.

Pic1. It's a friend family house that was built in 18th century, it still stands today, look just look at those thick walls..... that's how they overcame harsh winters and summer (warm in winter and cooler in summer)

I appreciate modern technology but I can't resist the curiousity of visiting and getting to learn and understanding how everything started and what they went through to get humanity this far.....it took me to Mercedes (undisputed Daimler - Benz) in Stuttgart where automobile started and Ferrari in Italy who turned the heat up. Like they all agreed, it was not just about making money but National and personal PRIDE.

While we still scramble for petrol and diesel cars others are already moving past that stage and making electric cars the new normal.

You are not wrong
Dennis3D:


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.

This is for Bro Dangote!

While Elon Musk is disrupting the ecosystem with solar roofs, electric cars and hyperloop, Dangote is building another refinery.

The future started yesterday and we are already late.
The days of brick and mortar is long gone but here we are stucked with vernacular architecture.

____
A couple of diasporans are doing great already tho. The solar market is performing well with lots of new entrants into the market.
I cannot but commend the Greenlight Planet’s customer service team.

Most refinery are gradually diversifying to industrial chemicals production, I wonder where he will sell or import to, Toyota already stopped production of diesel engine in Europe and all their models now come with half electric and half petrol of minimum Euro6+ engine specifications, 2021 will be a crucial turning point that will see rapid phasing out of combustion engine etc.
Dangote is just being pressured to build those refineries, a smart business man knows the future of Petrol and diesel is bleak, unless he has plan to diversify into industrial chemicals in the future.

I wonder what guide our policies makers decision to embrace outdated, expensive and environmentally unfriendly project.

Could you imagine the amount of energy we could generate if we set up windmills and solar panels energy parks on land and sea? Yeah! I remember, We couldn't because politicians still consider it a complex rocket science......and there are quiet Nigerian professionals all over the world that could make it work back home with the RIGHT SUPPORT.

Soon here, home glass windows will be generating solar power.

SOS!!!

I want to go completely off grid and show more people it could be done.
We’ve learnt to survive without Ministry of Water Resources. We can achieve the same with the Ministry of Mines & Power.

I’ll share a video of a project that’s completely off grid shortly. I hope I’m able to find it.

Interestingly some people will see your stuffs/ideas and won’t know what to make of them grin

I really love exploring great ideas.

I actually bought the device because I want to tear it down, see what’s inside and explore building affordable solar powered kiosk with integrated connectivity equipment & electrical appliances for productive use.

If I have irresponsible parents (I’m actually referring to our leaders and policy makers in this context), my job is not to tell everyone how irresponsible theyre but to make a difference.

this is what I know,oil will power greater part of this century and even some part of next century too. So Dangote refinery and many others springing up will make overhead and still divest to chemical productions. Remember that Dangote is also producing fertilizers too. If UK is still using coal, many countries will still need petrol and diesel

Valid!

However, history has proven to us that period of crisis are often when structural changes accelerate.
The demand for oil is already slowing down before covid and the pandemic seems to have pushed it into a new era. For example, FGN can no longer subsidies fuel, electricity.

Some things will definitely remain the same for a while especially now that activities are resuming (Dangote Refinery, Targa, Marathon and the likes) but investors must be prepared for a flatter growth outlook post-covid.

A combination of weaker economies, changes in consumer behaviour, and government policies could/may put a brake on oil consumption for many years.

This is going to affect a lot of things.

They all know...The rich guys pay heavily to financial planner or investment planners.., they pay people to for see things .the breaking point lies always should we go ahead now or not .off course oil prices were tanking before Covid due opec crisis and many new players with too much oil . again Americans have not been dropping alot lately on those countries...go big or go home ..i wont say a word about subsidy fraud...

all our systems are just way overboard.. just yesterday i had four different government agencies queuing up inside my house .for what exactly borehole drilling .

It's unlikely oil will power this century to a greater extent,......the gradual exit have started.... Europe have already set the pace in banning certain goods that drive the oil industry (petrol & diesel vehicles) and setting timetable to phase-out some nuclear power reactors.......increase awareness and economic benefits are gradually increasing electric vehicle purchase... ...granted America and Asia will lag behind but would eventually keyed in due to policies changes of trading partners or risk loosing market share to China.

Nigeria is too docile for changes and capitalising on opportunities...... COVID-19 would have been a good cover up to penetrate some countries and acquisitions for our own development. China have identified weaknesses and are going hard to acquire ailing and cash strap investment and products. See what has become of them after acquiring some high techs products over the years......they have the money in hand and others need it to survive and they acquired modern 'how to' from it.
