I’m not sure which one I agree with more (I think the latter). There is a place for 2D in a BIM world but it isn’t the same place for everyone. That is the major thrust of Tom Lazear’s argument. While I may not personally agree with all of this examples, I can think of several others that are valid.

For instance I’d hate to see 2D introduced as part of the IFC file format. It doesn’t need to be as software can already display 3D objects in 2D. ArchiCAD’s been doing it for years.
