Think of it as the much more evolved version of the 2D drawing; while drawings consist of an X and Y-axis, 3D BIM adds another dimension: the Z-axis. Essentially, 3D BIM lets you create and visualize the building's design. One of the best uses of 3D BIM is its role in clash detection. What is 4D BIM?: What is 5D BIM?:
