The value of 3D modeling 

2D shapes drawn on paper can help builders start to bring their ideas into reality, however something that seems good in theory, may not be as practical in the 3D world. 

This is where 3D modeling comes into play, as you can use digital aids to draw lines, compare items and furniture pieces of the same height, create rooms and decor in a scalable fashion.
