What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
- Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?
The 3D view is the best for the overall design and how the aesthetic of the building is because they can give us a realistic view. The more realistic view makes the project easier to visualize for the clients, which helps them to better understand how the spaces will look and make decisions about the materials and design used. The stakeholders that need the 2D design are the contractors and others involved. This is because they rely on the floor plans, elevations and section views to get the correct measurements and so that they have all of the technical details down and can produce the structure accurately.
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?
I would say a photorealistic render is helpful, but not always required. A photorealistic render takes additional time and resources, which means if you can do it without one then you should do one without one. I believe that the presentation of one definitely helps with advertising to the clients and how their overall house will look. The photorealistic render definitely helps the client visualize themselves in the house.
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?
How can schedule views be used to assist with procurement and model-based estimating?
Schedules give us a clear view about the procurement needs for the different types of components (doors, walls, windows, etc.). They provide us with any information needed about them like the types, qualities, areas and much more. This is useful because it allows us to get the right quantities of materials and estimates what we need to finish the project.
