Module 4 - Points to Ponder

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

• construction companies only require 2D views because they need factual information that are well documented. 3D views are for the client and stakeholders to see and understand the scope of the project. Therefore, it is best to portray important spaces and design features in 3D views

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

• A building can be portrayed differently based on the client and uses of the building. For some audience, they may want only factual information of the construction and other audiences might only want cost analysis of the project.

Should your design ideas always be conveyed through photorealistic renders?

• Photorealistic renders are not as important for construction and planning. They are more for the clients who may want to envision the project. However, rough diagrams, renders/sketches might be enough for those involved in planning and construction

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?
• VR or augmented reality can be best used for visualizing interactive spaces so renders of those spaces might be beneficial. Cave can be used for home building so clients can imagine ther new homes and make revisions.

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

• Shedule views allows you to keep track of components of your building and other aspects allowing for planning to go more smoothly
