To fully justify these expenses, the agencies have recommended that a cost–benefit analysis on the efficiencies of visualization be undertaken; there needs to be a distinct return on investment to justify the significant training and production expenses associated with learning 3-D CADD. Many transportation agencies have trained staff on using 3-D visual tools, but none are training specifically for the 3-D design (i.e., 3-D CADD)

For example, some applications, such as computer animation, require long production times. These production times depend on variables such as the 3-D modeling required and the length (in time)
