What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
- Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?
3D views are great for showing the shape, layout, and design of a building. They help people see how different spaces connect and how the building looks overall. these views also make it easier to spot problems and are useful for showing materials, colors, and how the building fits into its surroundings
Architects, engineers, and construction workers often need 2D views because they show detailed measurements and layouts clearly. For example ,floor plans, sections, and elevations help them build and install things correctly. I think inspectors and permit officials would also use 2D views to check if a design meets building code
Give examples of how the building information for a specific location in the project needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes?
Building information needs to be filtered depending on who is looking at it and why. For example, a client might only need to see a 3D view of how a lobby looks, including materials and finishes, to approve the design. An engineer, on the other hand, would need detailed 2D plans of the same lobby showing structural beams, HVAC ducts ,or electrical wiring A construction worker might need a simplified view showing only the specific elements they are building, like a wall layout or floor finishes. basically, filtering the information helps each audience focus on what’s most important for their job.
How can schedule views be used to assist with procurement and model-based estimating?
Schedule views help organize and show the materials and quantities needed for a project. They make it easier to plan when to order supplies and how much to order so nothing is missed. These views also connect to the building model. this lets teams estimate costs based on the materials listed This also saves time and helps avoid mistakes in ordering or budgeting.
