Create graphical representations of civil structures.

Create graphical representations of civil structures. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 3 occupations and seen in 6 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Create visual designs or displays. in Thinking Creatively .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 6 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 6 (100%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Produce drawings, using computer-assisted drafting systems (CAD) or drafting machines, or by hand, using compasses, dividers, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devices. · Architectural and Civil Drafters · importance 4.9 · exposure with tools
• Draft plans and detailed drawings for structures, installations, and construction projects, such as highways, sewage disposal systems, and dikes, working from sketches or notes. · Architectural and Civil Drafters · importance 4.6 · exposure with tools
• Draft detailed dimensional drawings and design layouts for projects to ensure conformance to specifications. · Civil Engineering Technologists and Technicians · importance 4.1 · exposure with tools
• Finish and duplicate drawings and documentation packages according to required mediums and specifications for reproduction, using blueprinting, photography, or other duplicating methods. · Architectural and Civil Drafters · importance 4.0 · exposure with tools
• Prepare final project layout drawings that include details such as stress calculations. · Transportation Engineers · importance 3.9 · exposure with tools
• Plan and design transportation or hydraulic systems or structures, using computer-assisted design or drawing tools. · Civil Engineers · importance 3.9 · exposure with tools
