With my experience i have learnt one thing, every person and a company has a set of quality and perfection in their work, same goes for the 3D modelling. If a client wants revision with an unrealistic timeline, the best approach should be to communicate with them about the changes as well as the level of efforts required to make the changes. Ask about the priority if some specific section or building is on priority, then we can focus on that section first and keep working on the remaining section. Companies that value perfection do understand LOE for the changes. Keeping the requirements and efforts transparent will make you achieve it in an agreeable terms.

I feel communication is key and plus we need to also understand "Unrealistic Expectations" 50 percent of times helps you to reach new heights in your Modeling skills and help you grow as designer, So I feel proper communication and giving your best to achieve the expected result is important.

As perfect has a different meaning for each individual the best you can do whilst designing/developing your 3D model is to ensure you comply to all relevant codes and standards as well as industry best practices. Furthermore, it is important to have model reviews scheduled with the client at regular intervals as the project progresses, this way you can ensure the client also has input into the end product which in turn will minimise rework and ensure the client is satisfied with the AFC package received.

Every "unrealistic expectation" is an opportunity of enhancements. I have gone through this many times. The problem commonly seen is that the customers may not describe their needs properly. So, yeah, communication is the key.

I prefer following points while handling any project:- 1. Defining scope and discuss revisions, 2. Educating client by explaining process and technical practicalities, 3. Doxumenting the feedback and prioritising the changes, 4. Always providing visual checks like updating progress and offering comparisons, 5. Sharing strict time estimates and transparency in budget, 6. Staying professional, being calm and receptive and stand firm when necessary, By blending clear communication, setting boundaries, and offering alternatives, you can handle unrealistic demands while maintaining a positive relationship with your clients.

Start with a detailed consultation to understand what the client wants. Create a document or visual reference outlining the scope, deliverables, and timeline, and get their approval before beginning.

You' re not a magician even if you have the best tools for manufacturing. So, clients must know that every manufacturing method has limitations and also your company's limitations, this is the first key that you should know. And the second key is to be clear to each other before shaking hands, both sides have to put their demands on the desk before signing the contract. As said, spoken words fly away, but written words stand.

Handling demanding clients in 3D modeling requires a mix of clear communication, professionalism, and adaptability. Here are some strategies I've found effective: 1. Clarify Objectives Early 2. Define a Revision Policy 3. Show Early Mockups 4. Set Milestones 5. Be Transparent About Challenges 6. Stay Professional under pressure 7. Document Everything 8. Balance Flexibility with Boundaries

I mean, seriously, at what stage of development does this question is at? If it is at the endgame where they "demand" polished up 3d model for the documentation, yeah I'd be happy to Plus it helps updating the model based on As-built But if it's still the designing stage, I would sit down explain properly that the current model was just to get better "feel" of how the finished product was gonna look like. There will be, not may, changes along the line as what happens to all projects. Keyword is to make them understand the importance of shopdrawing instead of 3d models

First thing I inform him or her that I am willing to work on whatever they ask for but I will explain the Why behind this project and are we reaching the goal within achieving more than 70%? I will explain that not everything cannot be 100% perfect and point out of reaching the goal while not putting pressure of resistance of applying his or her demands to show it is not matter of trying to minimize my time based on their costs.
