What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
3D views are best for showing depth and scale in a build. 2D views are best for constructors and engineers because it provides exact measurements and annotations. Both serve two different purposes: 3D for realization of the model and understanding of the relationship between depth and scale, 2D for more intricate details needed to build, inspect, and for precise measurements.
Give examples of how the building information for a specific location in the project needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes?
Different building information needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes because different stakeholders have different interests in the building. For example, a living room for a potential buyer needs to be filtered to show its design and comftorability, you would want the building information and layout to be more attractive and easy to understand. On the other hand for the construction team you need it to include specific measurements with width and height of the halls and rooms and more details are much more helpful.
Should your design ideas always be conveyed through photorealistic renders?
No, photorealistic designs are most helpful for marketing and potential clients which makes the design feel real and feasible. In the earlier stage work 3d views and shaded views are more than enough to see the design in realistic concept while allowing continuing adjustements of the build.
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?
