On a recent project, we were designing a small commercial space for a boutique store. Initially, we provided the client with a 2D floor plan, which detailed the layout accurately but proved challenging for the client to fully grasp. To improve the process, we introduced a 3D floor plan. Using Revit, we created a detailed 3D model that allowed the client to virtually tour the space. The client could see the placement of furniture, lighting, and fixtures, which made it easier for them to understand and approve the design. During this process, we identified potential issues that weren't obvious in the 2D plans. Using both AutoCAD for the initial 2D plans and Revit for the 3D modeling, we found that the transition to 3D significantly improved the accuracy of our work. It also enhanced client engagement, as they could better visualize the end result and feel more confident in their decisions. Given your experience, how do you balance the use of 2D and 3D plans in your projects? Do you have any tips or tools that have worked well for you in identifying potential design issues early on?
