- Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?
It is best to show the furnishings, floor, ceiling, walls, and fixtures of each room in the building in 3D views so that the client can get a good sense of the size of the space, lighting conditions, and other important details. The stakeholders that require 2D views include contractors and architects. Contractors need the 2D views to see the exact measurements of the space and construct the building.

The schedule views can provide important information such as dimensions, area, cost, etc. They can help a project stay organized and are an easy way to share information between different stakeholders (i.e. designer to contractor).
