I don’t understand why 3D views are dismissed as so abnormal.
There are even members here in the forum who can whip that up easily. My builder didn’t even need an hour for the first 2D and 3D draft.
Maybe we are talking past each other. I don’t mean a 3D cardboard model like in architect tenders, but a 3D computer model...
True drawings have become abnormal by now. Among the youngsters, only color and 3D count, but the good and experienced architects who still work, mind you, do not use blender software, but still work with pen on paper.
The very good programs cost a fortune. No comparison to the cheap programs with push-button operation...
On the one hand, I can confirm that it’s not standard on the construction company’s side. On the other hand, I understand your opinion and share it. I would have expected that with today’s "drawing software" a 3D view can practically be created automatically and that it shouldn’t be a problem.
But with those "push-button" ones you usually can’t even recognize the appearance at 10 cm accuracy, since they distort the perspective.
Viebrockhaus and the like build standard. The standard houses, i.e., model houses, mostly exist as show houses. And if you come with a different window format there, you’ll just be sent away again or an indifferent ear has never hurt them. Sure, they charge properly if you deviate from the standard by even one wall or grid, but it doesn’t require this kind of effort to sit with the customer for an hour. Customer visits are scheduled according to special features/sample selection.
For the technical draftsman/architect, this is totally unnecessary. He issues views. What more value should a 3D model have then? For me, too, I can often make nothing of the 3D models shown here. Only when I see the 2D views and floor plans do I get an idea and a feeling for the design.
I can’t make anything of it either. While some here swell with pride when they see a bad object in 3D, during the discussion I sometimes can’t shut up about how anyone can find that (whether poorly or wrongly presented) good. No, it’s not about taste!
But I admit: not everyone is born able to rework 2D in their head into a whole. Many need this 3D view. However, it can never be used to judge window sizes or to estimate differences of a few centimeters.
It’s different when you can virtually walk through the house in 3D. That has a high added value, but requires a greater amount of time, which is presumably not included in the price.
No, I can do that with my program, too. If you don’t enter the right parameters, it’s total distortion. I remember someone here who built a maze with furniture (little comedy) in his long hallway and posted screenshots here, but they were so far from reality... he thought it was great, but the forum members already had the real overview.
Anyway: one should approach this differentiatedly and recognize a good from a bad architect and ultimately trust him.
Then you don’t need 3D staging. For the rough exterior view, whether red or black roof, they have their justification, but for that the effort and costs are simply too high. Why should one also present both colors to a customer who already brings their 30 printouts of how the house is supposed to look?!
This also applies to builders, but you can’t expect architectural skills from a cheap general contractor. He installs his standard windows because he buys them cheaply and wants little effort with special versions. That’s how the price is made; after all, this is how most choose their builder here.
