The True Value of 3D Modeling for Home Builders

Pro Builder

In a 3D environment, flat plans are brought to life, making it possible to visualize and understand precisely how a home’s design will come together. As such, builders can greatly reduce the typical communication challenges they face coordinating projects among clients, engineers, architects, contractors, site crews, and other stakeholders.

10 Principles of Architecture | What Is Architecture | Why Need Design Principles in Architecture

CivilJungle

There is a term called visual weight. Visual weight is the property that gives elements in a design an ability to draw attention. If an element has a light visual weight that means that the element is unlikely to catch the attention or draw the eye of someone. Visual balance works just the same as physical balance.

The Faster Path to Accurate Reinforcement

BIM & Beam

Engineering firm Melia Smith & Jones uses SOFiSTiK software for 3D rebar modelling in Autodesk Revit. Most engineers still produce classic 2D reinforcement drawings using programs such as AutoCAD ® combined with CADS RC. Autodesk Revit is an important component for generating engineering drawings and details.

Transparent Elevations and Large Coordinates

Revit OpEd

In 2016 I find that some views just stop responding to Visual/Graphic Style settings at all. If you link a DWG file that has geometry that extends beyond Revit's 20 mile threshold then you may find elevation views (or section views) look transparent. If you remove the offending file the problem goes with it.
