Architectural plan

3D floor plans

A 3D floor plan is a perspectival, rather than orthographic, representation of a plan. They are usually produced using a digital model of a building floor plan and rendered. They are often used to convey architectural plans to individuals not familiar with floor plans. Despite the purpose of floor plans originally being to depict 3D layouts in a 2D manner, technological expansion has made rendering 3D models much more cost effective. 3D plans show a better depth of image and are often complemented by 3D furniture in the room. This allows a greater appreciation of scale than with traditional 2D floor plans.
