Includes common objects needed when designing housing and office buildings
Has good quality objects easily accessible that’s easy to use, saves time

35
Q

Explain the term sub‑assembly

A

group of components that are part of a larger assembly, but which can be installed or removed separately

36
Q

Two apps used for graph comm

A

Auto desk inventor
