The iterative and developing nature of designing a building involves the specification and handling of vague, imprecise, and incomplete information. A crucial factor for mitigating the impact of these uncertainties on the decision-making process is to effectively quantify and communicate them among the project stakeholders. The interactive visualization of 3D building models provides great support for evaluating building designs. However, the currently available visualization methods of the available authoring tools do not incorporate the potential uncertainties associated with the geometric and semantic information of building elements. Currently, building models appear precise and certain, even in the early design stages, which can lead to false assumptions and model evaluations, affecting the decisions made throughout the design stages. Hence, this paper presents a set of visualization approaches, including intrinsic, extrinsic, animation, and walkthroughs, that have been developed to present the uncertainties associated with the building elements’ information. The efficiency of the approaches developed in this study was evaluated through an online survey and interviews. More specifically, the approaches were compared in terms of intuitiveness, applicability, and acceptance. The evaluation results positively indicated the participants’ ability to understand the amount and impact of the uncertainties on the design by using the developed approaches.

设计建筑物的迭代和发展性质涉及对模糊，不精确和不完整信息的规范和处理。减轻这些不确定性对决策过程的影响的关键因素是在项目利益相关者之间有效地量化和交流这些不确定性。3D建筑模型的交互式可视化为评估建筑设计提供了强大的支持。但是，可用的创作工具的当前可用的可视化方法并未包含与建筑元素的几何和语义信息相关的潜在不确定性。当前，即使在早期设计阶段，构建模型仍显得精确且确定，这可能导致错误的假设和模型评估，从而影响整个设计阶段的决策。因此，本文提出了一套可视化方法，包括内在，外在，动画和演练，这些方法已被开发出来，以呈现与建筑元素信息相关的不确定性。通过在线调查和访谈评估了本研究中开发的方法的效率。更具体地说，在直观性，适用性和接受性方面对这些方法进行了比较。评估结果积极地表明了参与者使用已开发的方法了解不确定性的数量和对设计的影响的能力。通过在线调查和访谈评估了本研究中开发的方法的效率。更具体地说，在直观性，适用性和接受性方面对这些方法进行了比较。评估结果积极地表明了参与者使用已开发的方法了解不确定性的数量和对设计的影响的能力。通过在线调查和访谈评估了本研究中开发的方法的效率。更具体地说，在直观性，适用性和接受性方面对这些方法进行了比较。评估结果积极地表明了参与者使用已开发的方法了解不确定性的数量和对设计的影响的能力。
