Carpenters don't work at 10+ stories on steel structures!

While you may be correct for a residential (though I have worked with carpenters and know that they don't much care for architects w/out any building experinece), this is talking about steel structures, big buildings with vaient shapes and multiple stories. When you are designing a building that is 100 stories high, has a twist in the centrals structural member (by design), you are getting a little beyond what a carpenter does!

This is getting to where you have welders, cranes, large prefabricated steel pieces (structural or cosmetic) and million dollar budgets! Think scale, not some home remodel job! That is what the article is about!

The article also brings up the problem of having some 50 varient standards that need to be unified (codified) in order to produce a uniform 3d modeling package that is useful to architects. Even framing carpenters can read blueprints, though!
