目前施工作業模擬與三維視覺化技術之整合應用，多屬於施工模擬的後處理階段，即是以3D動畫來具體直觀地呈現模擬的結果。然而，對於模擬前處理階段之模型建構作業，仍是以文字檔或2D流程圖形式的模型來定義模擬問題，此類模型除了對於模擬問題的表達呈現上不夠具體直觀外，其之建構也難以同步結合工地現場的實況來以考量。
本研究嘗試提出三維視覺化的施工作業模擬之模型建構模式，其所建立之施工模擬模型為整合了模擬資料為模型元件屬性參數之3D場景模型，並進一步整合擴增實境的技術，讓此一3D模型可直接建立在施工現地的照片或即時影像上，以虛實3D場景之整合來建構出具體直觀且符合現地情況的模擬模型，本研究分析釐定了各類施工程序模擬模型其構成資訊之種類與範圍以及3D場景模型間之關聯性，並加以研擬並提出之3D施工模擬模型之模型元件類別，與各類模型元件的屬性參數，以及模擬建構之標準作業流程。本研究以具有文字介面之STROBOSCOPE程式為施工模擬引擎開發原型系統以呈現所提之建構模式，基於所提程式建立3D模擬模型後，經由系統轉換可將各模型元件之參數截取，並格式化為文字輸入檔供施工模擬程式執行分析，分析完成之輸出檔亦可由本系統截取獲得各機具元件在各節點上之起始時間後，將模擬直接於所建模型上做即時的動畫呈現。

Currently, integrated applications for construction operation simulation and 3D visual technology are mainly used during the post-processing phase of simulation operations. In other words, 3D animations are used to illustrate the detailed perceptual intuition of simulated results. However, text files and modules in 2D flow diagrams are more commonly used to define the issue being simulated during the pre-processing phase of the simulation. This type of simulation fails to illustrate the detailed perceptual intuition of the issues being simulated, and its structure also makes it difficult to synchronize and integrate with the actual field status for evaluation.
This study proposed a construction module for 3D visual construction operation simulations. The construction simulation modules being built are simulated 3D field settings which contain property parameters for each simulation component. These simulation components are integrated from the simulation data and are then integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) technology to allow the 3D module to be superimposed on photos or real-time images of the construction site. The integration of virtual and practical 3D field-setting simulations offers a detailed representation which matches the actual field setting. During the study, we analyzed and examined various simulation modules for construction programs and the types and ranges of parameters used for building the information system . The relationship between these 3D field-setting simulations were also analyzed and examined. After initial studies and planning, the classes and property parameters of each construction simulation module component were proposed, along with a standard operation procedure to build the simulation. Stroboscope software provided a text interface and we used it as the base system for engine development during construction simulation to represent the proposed module construction. 3D simulation modules were then built based on the proposed program, and the parameters of each module components were extracted during system conversion. These parameters were then entered as text files in the construction simulation program to perform analysis. After data analysis using the proposed system, the initial time for each machine and tooling component at each node were extracted from the output file. The 3D modules could then be directly illustrated as real time animation on the final field-setting simulation
