Who should upgrade?

• Brownfield/modification projects – need E3D 2.1+ for laser scan support.
• Small teams on a budget – consider E3D 3.2 (lighter licensing) or a cloud CAD like Revit.
• Anyone needing realistic client walkthroughs – E3D 3.1’s visualization is dated.

Who it’s for

• produce a colorful one-page printable cheat-sheet, or
