The Digital Resource Repository

UDL Digital Resources are an online repository that provides everything an architect or a designer would need for their design. Finding the right tools is a long process, made even more difficult when they need to be placed in the drawing and given the right effects and colours to blend in.

By offering helpful resources and materials, we want to improve the representation of architectural and urban design drawings, enrich our community with diverse resources and materials, simplifying the steps involved in presentation drawing workflow.
