Please share your comments on 3 of the following Points to Ponder questions. (Choose 3 of the questions below.)
What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
- Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why? Topography and lighting can best be displayed in 3D views. Stakeholders require 2D views to understand certain measurements and planes of the design or building.
Give examples of how the building information for a specific location in the project needs to be filtered for different audiences and purposes?
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 not always be conveyed through photorealistic renders; design ideas should be conveyed in a way that is the most beneficial to those that are looking at or using the renders. The level of detail affects the perception of all types of stakeholders that will review the design. An owner of the house will want to see what the house will look like in their eyes when they see it in person, while an architect or engineer will want to see the aspects of the home that will help them understand how it will come together.
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 can provide a comprehensive list of important objects and structural components of the building. This can include their area, material, and many more pieces of information about each object. This collection of information is useful in procurement and model-based estimating, it is directly beneficial to finding out the total cost.
