Pain: Models, drawings and documents are separate
representations with varying levels of detail which:
– introduce ambiguity (multiple representations)
– limit informed decision making (without ready access)
Solution:
present all manner of interrelated design
information for interaction directly within the
spatial context of the 3D model
Use Cases:
• Project review
• Delivery
• Interrogation of project data
• Plan sets and construction annotations
