Gable CAD Gable CAD Gable CAD, or Gable 4D Series, was a British architectural computer-aided design package initially developed in the early 1980s. Gable CAD was developed at the University of Sheffield in the mid-1980s under the leadership of Professor Bryan Lawson. It was spun out into Gable CAD Systems Limited (incorporated in 1984) and retained links with the university until its demise in 1996 when a court order was made for compulsory winding up.

Computer-assisted personal interviewing showed that both Audio- and Video-CASI systems work well even with subjects who do not have extensive familiarity with computers. Indeed, respondents preferred the Audio- and Video-CASI to paper SAQs. The computerized systems also eliminated errors in execution of “skip” instructions that occurred when subjects completed paper SAQs. In a number of instances, the computerized systems also appeared to encourage more complete reporting of sensitive behaviors such as use of illicit drugs. Among the two CASI systems, respondents rated Audio-CASI more favorably than Video-CASI in terms of interest, ease of use, and overall preference.
