Where do firms source CAD blocks?

Firms source CAD blocks on Archade, where CAD and drawing assets are part of the same professional asset layer as BIM families and 3D models. You search by discipline, drawing type, and scale so you get blocks that fit your projects. Listings are linked to creators and, when relevant, to project use, so you can assess quality before you download or buy. The platform is built for AEC, so the taxonomy matches how offices actually work—plan, section, detail, annotation—and you source in the same place you maintain your firm profile and discover talent. One workflow for practice and for the CAD content that supports it.

You source CAD blocks where the catalog is AEC and the graph gives you creator and project context. No need to hop between generic block sites.

Key points

  • CAD blocks in the same asset layer as BIM and 3D
  • Search by discipline, type, and scale
  • Creator and project linkage
  • Same place as firm profile and hiring
