Please share your comments on 3 of the following Points to Ponder questions. (Choose 3 of the questions below.)

What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?

  • Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?

3D views can describe spatial relationships of building components. It enables stakeholders to recognize spatial conflicts of objects, which is difficult to realize in 2D views.

Contractors and site workers require 2D views with annotations in order to know detentions and types of material etc.

Give examples of how the building information for a specific location in the project needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes?

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?

Whether photorealistic renders are needed or not depends on what we want to discuss about. If we need to highlight decorations or lighting conditions, it is good way to use rendering images. However, if we want to discuss about floor plans or structures, we do not need them.

Detailed rendering makes our presentation more reliable. In addition, it enables us to show how much detailed things we designed.

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?

We can project 3D models onto the planned construction site and confirm how they match with its scenery by using augmented reality.

A C.A.V.E is useful to feel spatial expenses and enables us to move around. On the other hand, VR headsets can use in any location and does not have spatial constrains.

How can schedule views be used to assist with procurement and model-based estimating?
