Module 9 - Points to Ponder
Please share your comments on the following Points to Ponder questions. (Choose 3 of the questions below.)
Why or why not?
4D simulations are often used to show the construction sequence for an entire project, but shorter simulations that focus on a specific period of time are also useful. Can you provide examples of how a simulation that focuses on a 1 or 2 week period could be useful for planning?
What level of detail should be included in a 4D simulation?
Should you include all of the elements in the building model?
How can the feedback shown in a 4D simulation help you to optimize the project schedule?
What are the main benefits of linking model elements to the project schedule?
How can model-based quantity takeoff improve the design process?
How can designers improve their designs using the information provided by preliminary estimates of the cost of building their design ideas?
