I only began to understand how complex construction drawings are when I started teaching 4 years ago. Prior to teaching, my experience communicating with consultants, contractors, architects, and interior designers through the conventional 2D drawings is almost always straight forward (I do admit these drawing produced their fair share of errors in the field).
The build blog has an interesting post that shows use of 3D analysis / cut away drawings in other fields to allow everyone immediately understand of these complex relationships.
I wonder if BIM will help us produce more legible construction docs or only provide more of the same (slightly more coordinated) construction docs.
