Usually there is not enough time & money budgeted on the job to do 3D design for commercial HVAC work. Design drawings are typically specified to be considered as diagramatic & it is up to the contractor doing the installation, to prepare shop drawings & coordinate installation & clearances with all trades. The designers though must provide enough space for installation & servicing. They should block out typical service access space for equipment.
The 3D drawings therefore can be more useful to the installing contractor to help them prepare coordinated as built drawings.
 
This was in reply to the thread 3D Drafting. I must have hit the wrong key & started another thread!
