13. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
Plan it well from the start
13
Naming convention, for files and objects (Stair ≠ stairs)
Duplicates = double quantity
Overlap = additional quantity
What data do you want? Much more effort to add retrospectively
Design as built. Single component can’t be phased
3D 4D 5D 6D What does the client want?
