It also offers benefits during the design stage, when the impacts of material and component choices can be easily seen and any issues addressed early, for example. Having powerful visualisation tools is therefore of significant benefit to all project stakeholders. The good news is that with professional 3D <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/open-bim-2\/96621\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BIM software<\/a>, creating stunning imagery and animations is no longer limited to graphic designers.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of project visualisation<\/h3>\n<p>The early stages of a construction project are a bit like selling dreams: sketches and scribbles give a glimpse of how fantastic a piece of architecture will possibly look like one day. However, the further we proceed with a construction project, the less likely it will become that stakeholders and decision-makers will base their decisions and approvals on dreams and ideas alone.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title td-module-title\"><a title=\"Flansburgh Architects successfully transitions to Open BIM\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/open-bim\/84444\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flansburgh Architects successfully transitions to Open BIM<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This is where visualisations come into play. Essentially, they improve communication by bringing clarity to the project \u2013 everyone can see the end result. A realistic visualisation can help clients imagine what the completed structure will look like, as well as how the space will look and feel and how everything will fit into the surrounding environment. Being able to explain the design intent so clearly can be a major advantage, making it easier for clients to see what they will get from their investment.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of visualisation is that it makes it easier to identify and discuss issues. For many stakeholders, it is much clearer and easier to understand a 3D visualisation than trying to imagine how a building will look like based on a 2D line drawing.<\/p>\n<p>During the design, it is easy to trial different options \u2013 such as materials and components, door and window openings, or even colour schemes and other details \u2013 before a choice is made and finalised. With high-quality visualisations, these decisions can be changed before they are installed on site, which can be costly to change at a later stage.<\/p>\n<p>While in the past, architects and designers spent hours to create different sketches, views or variations of a concept, this can now be done digitally with the change of just a few parameters. This means designers and architects can offer their clients a much larger variety of options to choose from nowadays. The ability to view and discuss various renderings directly in a virtual environment also helps to reduce construction time \u2013 which, in turn, leads to cost savings.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, it is also beneficial to be able to visualise the finished design within its surrounding environment. Topographical surveys and point clouds can be imported and a terrain model created, which can then be used to see how the structure fits on site. Even lighting conditions or the different seasons can be simulated and checked. This way, the architect or engineer can make any changes if needed before the project is built and impossible to move.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_105618\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-105618\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-105618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"visualisation tools\" width=\"690\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03-696x447.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03-1068x686.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03-654x420.jpg 654w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20210930_Enzo_Pasqua_Allplan_03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-105618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: \u00a9 Enzo Pasqua. Allplan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, it is also possible to use tools to create 3D photos or even virtual reality images that provide an immersive experience. These tools will simulate the 3D environment, allowing stakeholders to get a feel for the room sizes and layouts and make any necessary changes early on before the project is undergoing construction.<\/p>\n<h3>How software from the Nemetschek Group supports visualisation<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAs one of the pioneers in the CAD and BIM software market, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/stakeholders\/nemetschek-aec-software-2\/84175\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Nemetschek Group<\/a> has identified the advantages quite early on and invested accordingly in solutions that combine design and visualisation,\u201d states Dr Axel Kaufmann, CFOO and speaker of the executive board at the Nemetschek Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a group, we offer different design software solutions for different customer needs. However, all three 3D CAD solutions \u2013 Allplan, Graphisoft\u2019s Archicad, and Vectorworks \u2013 can be connected to our Maxon product line, which offers powerful tools such as Cinema 4D or Redshift Rendering. This gives designers, architects and many other stakeholders the power to create efficient workflows and to produce static or dynamic visuals that can be tailored to their particular needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allplan, Archicad, and Vectorworks all enable users to quickly and easily create accurate 3D models from drawings. But equally as important is the fast export of those models, enabled by the Cinema 4D interfaces in all three solutions. Capabilities are not limited to Nemetschek\u2019s in-house solutions, though. As a driver and advocate of the OPEN BIM philosophy \u2013 which supports a seamless data-flow across all project stakeholders and project phases \u2013 the integration with other visualisation or rendering solutions is possible, too, such as the Unreal Engine or Twinmotion by Epic Games.<\/p>\n<p>Creating stunning images is not just about impressing the client or investor; they also help increase communication, lead to cost savings and improve quality. The right first time approach is the key to delivering projects successfully, delighting clients and building a strong reputation. Those architects and designers already using a Nemetschek design solution such as Allplan, Archicad, or Vectorworks and looking for a powerful \u2013 but still rather easy-to-integrate \u2013 solution to visualise their BIM models should take a closer look at Maxon\u2019s product suite. The intuitive, smooth interplay with Cinema 4D and Redshift Rendering provides a proven workflow that is optimised for the needs of designers and architects. As for the outcome \u2013 the results speak for themselves!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alexander Siegmund\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manager Corporate Communications PR<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nemetschek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NEMETSCHEK SE\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Konrad-Zuse-Platz 1<\/p>\n<p>81829 Munich<\/p>\n<p>Tel: +49 89 540459-255<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:asiegmund@nemetschek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asiegmund@nemetschek.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*please note: this is a commercial profile<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visualisation tools are important for all stakeholders during the design and construction process \u2013 not just for architects and engineers but also for their clients and for investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[305],"tags":[702,576,111549,464,172727,73241],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172487],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-105616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-bim-news","7":"tag-architecture","8":"tag-bim-software","9":"tag-bim-today-march-2022","10":"tag-contributor-profile","11":"tag-featured","12":"tag-sh-nemetschek","13":"stakeholder_rel_tag-nemetschek"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The growing importance of visualisation tools for construction<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Visualisation tools are important for all stakeholders during design &amp;
