Please share your comments on 2 of the following Points to Ponder questions. (Choose 2 of the questions below.)
What are the principal advantages of using a single building information model of the existing conditions as the foundation for modeling proposed additions or renovations?
A single model allows you to keep track of what was there before and can allow you to correctly scale and arrange your designs. If anything changes about the site, you can update it in the model and it can be taken into consideration for the renovation plans.
What are the principal advantages of using a single building information model of the existing conditions as the foundation for modeling several proposed design alternatives for a portion of the building?
- Why not create a separate model for each of the design alternatives?
As above, if anything changes in the design, it is easier to update one model and have that change reflected in all of the alternatives than updating each model separately.
