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

  • Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?

Stakeholders that require 2D views might be electricians, plumbers, and even engineers. 2D plans provide these stakeholders with wall dimensions and thickness, information essential to their jobs.

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?

The level of detail facilitates all stages of building development. From landscaping to architectural design, all details provided contribute to a bigger image that most find familiar.

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?

Yes, there are. VR reality headsets still restrict movement to some extent, as most actions performed are just that of a person. In comparison to a C.A.V.E virtual environment, camera views are not limited to ground views but also aerial views. The flexibility of these virtual environments is vaster than those in VR, since VR attempts to mirror an individual’s movement.

How can schedule views be used to assist with procurement and model-based estimating?
