15. Coordinated Model

22. Microstation ElevationsRevit Elevations

31. Pros:
Improved inter-disciplinary coordination
Less mistakes
Reduced resource requirements
Design in 3D
Instant synchronization of plans, sections, elevations
Intuitive functionality (holes in slabs)
Improved output for presentation material
Makes repetitive drafting components easier to
deliver
Scheduling
Organization of drawings and project. Single
repository of information
Cons:
Large investment in training.
High cost of investment. Subscription services
High computing power requirements
Slow working time
Poor line weight control. Bad at basic 2D CAD
Drawings look flat
Require intermediate to advanced knowledge to
deliver a bespoke model
Non-intuitive functionality (floor, wall, ceiling joins)
Additional view creation for every view on sheet
Parameters, parameters, more parameters
User becomes further removed from drawing and
more an administrator
Do we do things because we can, or because we
need to do them?
