Watch Me Draw a Post-Tension Foundation in AutoCAD




I am PTI certified and I know AutoCAD, so automating a post-tension foundation drawing should be fun.

Notre-Dame: How to Save It from Modernity

The roof of Notre-Dame de Paris engulfed in flames.

I will try to briefly explain the danger by describing the difference in knowledge between medieval and modern.
