Why 2D Drawings are Ineffective and Expensive in BIM?
2D structural drawings are becoming obsolete as digital BIM based workflow programs become more popular. Time, money, and resources can be saved by making live changes and sharing content. BIM should replace 2D drawings in projects for the following reasons.
Reorganizing everything in 2D drawing is one of the most challenging things to do. You should never wait until you have too many pieces to organize before creating different groups and layers. Separate fragments should be organized into their groups and layers so that they do not unintentionally merge.
Define 2D Drawings
2D drawings are two dimensional representations of objects or scenes. They are used in a variety of contexts ranging from engineering to design and are often used to communicate a design or idea to a team of people.
2D drawings can be used to represent the shape, size, and position of objects in a scene or to show the relationships between components in a system. They can be created using a variety of software programs and tools, including computer aided design (CAD) and vector graphics applications.

Too Much Labor
It is still contractually binding for many engineers to produce 2D drawings for the documentation of their 3D models. It is easier to share 3D models with field staff and other parties involved in the project.
You can work on 2D drawings of candleholders, wooden sculptures, lighting fixtures, plants, and other seemingly endless details. The downside is that all those assets can weigh down the design model and sometimes mask crucial components, such as layout and roominess.
It is too labor intensive and memory consuming to make changes to 2D drawings efficiently or accurately. 3D models, on the other hand, allow for automatic updates of all related documentation as well as instant sharing of updates.
User Acceptance
People tend to hold on to paper drawings or 2D documentation out of instinctive resistance to change. Due to the fact that you have been using a system your entire career, you are comfortable with 2D drawings. The switch from hand drawings to CAD systems in architecture took time.
