Take measurements in BIM view

- [Instructor] I think being able to view a 3D model here in Fieldwire along with my 2D plan sheets can really be helpful because sometimes it's just easier for me to visualize things in 3D, as opposed to trying to look at the 2D plan sheets. So, you know, you can just see as I zoom and scroll and pan around here, you can really get a sense for what this building is going to look like probably much more visually than you can get out of looking at the 2D floor plans, for example. Now another feature of a building information model is that just like the 2D sheets, these 3D models are drawn to scale. This means that you should be able to take measurements inside these models, and here in field wire there is a measurement tool that allows you to do just that. Now, unlike the 2D sheets you don't have to calibrate the scale. The scale is actually saved with the building information model. So it's a feature that's ready to use…
