3D COMPUTER MODELING AND ANIMATION FOR MARKETING OF PROJECT SERVICES. IN: PREPARING FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE 21ST CENTURY, PROCEEDINGS OF CONSTRUCTION CONGRESS '91, SPONSORED BY THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS IN COOPERATION WITH THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF MINING ENGINEERS AND THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, APRIL 13-16, 1991

Three-dimensional (3D) computer modeling and animation are increasingly being utilized in the Engineering and Construction industry for the marketing of project services. Recently, simulation and animation have been applied to 3D modeling for design and constructability reviews, and for construction and maintenance task planning. These tools have also proven to be powerful aids for the marketing of Bechtel's services. Bechtel uses 3D modeling as an integral part of the design of complex facilities. When a 3D model is prepared in conjunction with a project proposal, it demonstrates to the owner that the company understands the owner's needs and has developed the project on a conceptual basis in sufficient detail to prepare the animation.
