It isn\u2019t that we haven\u2019t had this information before, it has just always come from many different sources and the ability to pull it all together into the 3D model is really where the true value lies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often data has come from many different places and it has\nhad to then be interpreted based on \u201cwhat does this mean for design?\u201d The issue\nwith this is that it relies on an individuals\u2019 personal interpretation, and there\nis ambiguity; as people start reading and trying to understand the documents\nprovided. This becomes more and more of an issues the more spread out a company\nbecomes, communicating around the globe and being able to share information.\nThis often results in a breakdown of communication, collaboration and\nultimately quality of the end product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the model as the basis of your process removes a lot, if not all\nof the ambiguity that those working in silos would normally encounter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have the definition, once you have the requirements how can that then be leveraged into a model based enterprise solution, using that comprehensive and complete 3D model to digitalize your processes? A process that includes both 3D design and system integrations successfully moves a company towards a model based enterprise solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/video.mentor.com\/embed\/3bf63010-40be-4ca7-bd10-3937319740cc?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the first installment of our Model Based Enterprise Series with Allan Behrens and Paul Brown.
