Nevertheless, it doesn’t require every side involved in the project to operate on the same 3D CAD models. Big Data .

Construction communication challenges often arise as preferred technologies (BIM, IPD, CAD) often leave non-techie types out of the conversation loop. Everyone in construction operations is visual and depends upon drawings, plans and models to convey ideas. Remember the PDF?

This approach is somewhat surprising considering that in most contemporary construction contracts PDF’s as the digital representations of drawings have often higher standing than model files or even DWGs. These can be placed in plans/elevations/sections making them an excellent base for either 2D or 3D based work.
