Participants will explore how viewing a project at full scale enhances spatial comprehension, exposes potential safety and accessibility issues, and improves collaboration with clients and consultants. Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, attendees will learn how to integrate this tool into their design process to reduce errors, improve user safety, and achieve better built outcomes.
