When to use it: Early-stage projects, approval-level submittals, budget-constrained jobs, or situations where full coordination isn't required yet.

Quick Draw is a streamlined drawing set. It captures the essential geometry, system intent, and layout information needed to move the project forward - without the full coordination detail that fabrication-ready drawings require. You get clear elevations, key dimensions, and system identification. You don't get fully coordinated surrounding conditions, detailed fastener callouts, or cross-referenced architectural integration.

Quick Draw is right when the drawing has one job: get something approved and move to the next stage. It's not the right tool when the set goes directly to the field.

When to use it: Standard commercial submittals, architect-review sets, fabrication coordination, most jobs on the commercial glazing market.

Typical Detail is the MP Drafting standard. It's what most glazing contractors actually need on most jobs. Surrounding conditions are drawn from the architectural set - not assumed or templated. Fasteners are matched to the condition type. IN/OUT dimensions, column lines, and layout references are explicit. The set is organized for architect review: clean title blocks, numbered sheets, clarifying notes where the architecture is ambiguous.

The goal of Typical Detail isn't to impress anyone. The goal is to produce a drawing set that can be approved the first time, built from without guessing, and executed without follow-up RFIs chasing missing information.

When to use it: Active design phase, live coordination with the architect and engineer, projects where the system is still being defined.

Advanced Detailing drafting is not a drawing product. It's a coordination service. You're not receiving a finished set - you're working with a drafter who is integrated into your design process. That means live iteration, back-and-forth with the architect's set, and drawings that evolve as the design develops. Engineering coordination is simplified into a single channel.

Advanced Detailing costs more and takes more time. It's the right choice when the alternative is producing a Typical Detail set against a moving target and revising it three times before the design is even locked. The return on Advanced Detailing is measured in avoided revision cycles, not in drawing quality.
