What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
- Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?
Give examples of how the building information for a specific location in the project needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes?
Depending on the audience and purpose the information that needs to be displayed is different. For the people building the project, all they need to see is the walls, windows, stairwells and things of that sort. For designers and owners they may want to see a view with furniture that maybe had less measurements and detail because that is not what is as important to them.
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?
Design ideas should be displayed in a photorealistic manner for maybe potential owners or people interested in purchasing. This view allows people to truly see what the project will look like when it comes to life. Detail is very nice when you are about to invest significant funds into the project. For other people they may just need to see the just and using the processing power to create the render may not be worth it.
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?
Schedule views allow you to see all the components that need to be procured without being distracted by all of the other elements of design. While you could count the number of doors, seeing all of the doors in a schedule view ensures you don’t miss any. It also makes it easier to estimate costs and total materials needed for things such as walls and ceilings.
