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?

  • Building contractors would require 2D views because as ones who are realizing the buildings, it’s important they have access to the measurements and scale of the building. Community stakeholders are people that would be important to show 3D views as they are great at helping people imagine what the space would look and feel like.

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?

I don’t think it’s always necessary for buildings to be conveyed through photorealistic renders. Sometimes, it’s okay to showcase the bare bones of the project.

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?

Scheduled views can be great with assisting with budgeting for specific materials and a better awareness of how much space each object is taking up in context of the entire building.
