The benefits and drawbacks of modeling in both numeric and arbitrary numbers and points are fairly balanced. The determining factors include questions such as:

Do I have measurable constraints that I’m working against?

Is this more of a conceptual or defined project?

Is there a timeline that you’re working against?

This doesn’t mean that a numerically based model cannot contain arbitrarily based modeling parts/components or vice versa. I recommend exploring the balance between them both!

If you are doing a lot of numerically based models, I recommend watching the video “Model Scale”.

Don’t forget! Only 4 weeks of submission for the MMC through October!
