The experience of organizing the project showed that the decision to build the facility depends not only on a simple desire customer. Often, the work begins with finding sources of funding partners for equity participation, to determine the volume of construction work and, of course, with the initial design-allowing documentation. Here, the architect can greatly simplify and accelerate these processes by creating a design in a virtual model of the future of the facility. One good picture, which gives an overview of the architectural and artistic qualities of buildings and a small gallery with design drawings and major techno-economic indicators can provide crucial in deciding on the design and construction. Therefore, the greatest number of three-dimensional models in the project company established for a pre-stage as presentation materials. And do not forget that good impression of the customer to adopt schedules justify choosing your project organizations (especially if the work was done on a competitive basis). Terms of fulfilling such works very hard: time limit, lack of raw materials, a model for a pencil outline. But well-made work not only moral satisfaction.

No drawings do not compare with the three-dimensional model in force impact on the customer.
In his work, the architect must remember that not all people are equally capable of drawing the line taken as a conditional image some lengthy forms. Also, like some architectural esthetic color-light songs, sometimes occurring in 3D-graph often go astray good. Strong effect on customer had a three-dimensional images similar to photographic quality. Therefore, the developer who creates three-dimensional scene should have a certain artistic taste. As the ability to mix paints still does not give us the right to call himself an artist, and work with the mouse and screen leaves us with an opportunity for an infinite improvement in this regard. The works performed geometrically religiously but devoid of artistic content is often disappointing, and, in my opinion, cannot be considered professional.

The picture should be as photographer.
Or even better if the future object into the real environment. In doing so, you need to maximize accurately and correctly use elements entourage. Often absurd trees and terrible human figurines, inserted into the scene, causing huge damage to the side of artistic work. The most frequent mistakes - a violation of the ratio of the magnitude of the object and entourage and wrongly selected point of view (the horizon line shift can also be attributed here).

Unsuccessful perspective neutralizes all dignity presentation pictures.
When received an order for the development of project documentation architects realize their ideas in the form of two-dimensional drawings. At the design stage, working three-dimensional models are sometimes needed, but only as a tool for self. I do not advocate an object-oriented design, which creates a detailed computer model of the facility, and plans and facades generated from it. This method has obvious shortcomings - is excessive demands on the hardware, the increased complexity of editing three-dimensional elements. And in the end, this method does not get any qualitative model nor do finished two-dimensional drawings (receive only «blanks» to follow detail. As far as I know, most architects performs two-dimensional drawings using AutoCAD - as a universal system for drawing, and for simulation. If the contract stipulates that project documents should contain a three-dimensional graphics, work on it has been following the development of space-planning decisions of the facility. Creating the model - a complicated and laborious work, and any adjustments in the course of the project seriously affect the construction of the model. Therefore, in the final stage of designing a model based on two-dimensional drawings ready. In this case, manage to achieve a high degree of elaborate presentation material, for example, sufficient detail model, the use of materials and invoices, agreed with the customer, inclusion in the planning stage vertical elements and small architectural forms.

The model - not a means of architectural design and certify quality design products.
But the construction technique that is the model - finished drawing two-dimensional elements in the environment of AutoCAD converted into closed polyline and squeezed in the axis Z. These elements are connected in the 3D model of consolidation, which is then exported to 3D Studio Max. And already there "miraculous transformation" in drawing primitives "material" construction and design.
