information of meetings is totally shared with the participants
common picture of the project between participants especially in shattered and demanding cases
better understanding of demands and consequences
real-time 3D visualization enables comparing, considering and outlining processes
new possibilities for project marketing and development
focus and view solutions from alternative view points in innovative way
real-time impacts and influences of changes
budget and cost monitoring seamlessly merged into decision making procedure
estimates and progress reports of project are compared to reality in two displays
As-built presentations and guidance occasions
system is linked to product model server and version differences are avoided
