**Comparison and Contrast Paragraph (CAD vs BIM)**

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are computer programs used for the design of objects, real or virtual. Both may be used to design figures in two-dimensional (2D) or in three-dimensional (3D) spaces. However, BIM is used for a three-dimensional (3D) space and in real time. CAD can use symbolic information like materials and dimensions, according specific conventions while BIM uses spatial relationships, geographic information and quantities and properties of building components. CAD is used in many applications: automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace industries, architectural design, computer animation and many more. However, BIM is used in building design and construction. CAD and BIM systems run with major platforms: Windows, Linux, UNIX and Macintosh. media type="file" key="CAD vs BIM.WAV" width="300" height="50"
