What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
- Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?
It is important for the construction workers to have 2D views as this will provide a one stop layout of where the essential doors, floors, windows, and walls will be placed. It is often nice for the client to see these 2D views too, as they can provide a proportional understanding of how large a room is, what furniture can fit, and spatially how the home will be layed out. It is always nice to see the 3D view as well to understand how heights will be in reference to other components.
Give examples of how the building information for a specific location in the project needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes?
The building info locations are able to be customized for where the builds will take place. This can provide an understanding to the client of how the lighting will be during different times in the day and the year. This can be important for picking where to put different rooms. It is also a nice customization feature, as one may want to show the view during the daytime and at night time. These customizations allow the visions to be more accurate and concrete which can be important for the audience to understand and allow time to make changes before people begin building. Or if it’s after the build, then in the interior settings for where lighting components should be placed.
Should your design ideas always be conveyed through photorealistic renders?
- How does the level of detail in the rendering and its presentation affect the perception of stakeholders reviewing your design?
No, the 3D renderings can take a long time to create and are not necessary for getting main points across. It can be nice after a few design iterations though to allow for final chances to make changes!
Name some applications where viewing the building and model information in virtual reality or augmented reality would be most beneficial?
- Are there advantages to using a C.A.V.E as a virtual environment versus VR headsets?
