What types of building information are best portrayed in 3D views?
- Which stakeholders require 2D views, and why?
The stake holders that require 2D views are the constructors of the project and the potential owners of the project. Constructors need to know how to build the project and the measurements of the floor plans and what not. Then the potential owners need a layout of what they are going to purchase so that they can plan how they will utilize the provided spaces.
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?
If the render that you provide is a low quality render, then the stakeholders may think poorly of the overall design since they might not be able to visualize the outcome with floor plans alone. Having a higher quality render that really allows the stakeholders to visualize the building and understand how everything will tie together can really be a boost to your 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 give a rough estimate of the amount of material that may be needed for a project. You can use the function tool to add areas, which could give a rough estimate of the amount and cost of flooring needed. It could also provide how much of an element is needed. For example, grand totaling the doors will let you know how many and what type of each the project requires.
