Depending on the accuracy the 3D model can be used as a basis for simulation and analysis. Not only can this application be used for acquisition, but also as a tool for simulating architectural design decisions, for example the choice of a cladding material. The most known application of the 3D architectural model is the visualisation of the design. It is not only implemented as a way of communication however. Although the majority of the projects still are defined by the 2D drawing the use of 3D models are more and more implemented. As the representation is as it is, misinterpretation decreases and adjustments take place in context of the rest of the design model thereby enhancing the insight in the whole design and the effect of design decisions. Defining the design in 3D avoids a major part of these problems. Known issues of missed alterations in one part of the set of drawings and incomplete sets cause major problems in the building process adding to the building costs. This method of representation however depends on the accuracy and completeness of the 2D description of the 3D object. With the importance of the 2D drawing in the building process these processes of checking drawings and alter them will increase with the complexity of the design. Due to the effect that the design is described as a set 2D drawings representing a 3 dimensional shape alterations of the 3D object will have to be implemented in a variety of 2D drawings. The large amount of data required to construct a building generates however its own problems. Due to the continuing specialization, legislation and industrialisation of the design and construction process the drawing load is growing. As the design and construction environment is highly fragmented, the 2D technical drawing will provide a means of transferring data between the different specialists and actors in the design process. Why using 3D digital models in architecture? Technical drawings are the main form of communication of the design in the design process.
