What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?

Vertical elements are suitable, such as connecting walls to roofs. Additionally, building information renderings are well depicted in 3d views, such as 3d views showing a building's furniture and lighting from inside the building.

  • Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?

2D views help contractors and clients understand the spatial relationships of the floor plan, such as the layout of walls and furniture placement. They can also help constructers understand building area and help cost estimations.

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 stakeholders and use, the building information should be processed to display certain elements. For example, a floor plan might show a client how the furniture, basic equipment, and appliances, etc., will feature and be featured in the home. For builders, floor plans may strip out these home details and instead show building elements like electrical circuits, HVAC, plumbing, floors, ceilings, walls, and stairs.

Should your design ideas always be conveyed through photorealistic renders?

Rendering lets designers rely on visual aids to sell their vision to clients in the early stages of a project. But the time investment is large and the cost is high. It should not be used in large quantities in some design projects that pay attention to efficiency. At the same time, the rendering is not guaranteed to be completely accurate, and the actual construction drawings and renderings may not match. For example, color and light and shadow are only approximated, so they should not be used excessively.

  • How does the level of detail in the rendering and its presentation affect the perception of stakeholders reviewing your design?

Simple rendering can enable stakeholders to quickly present ideas to meet customer needs, but rendering is too complex and will affect perception. For example, differences in architectural background knowledge and requirements can lead to misunderstandings about design, confusion caused by handling inconsistent information, and aesthetic differences. As well as using incompatible software resulting in difficult access to work.
