Is a 3D Model a Digital Twin?

No — a 3D model is not a digital twin. A 3D model is a static snapshot of geometry: it shows what a building looked like at the moment it was captured. A digital twin connects that model to its physical counterpart through data, so it can answer operational questions while the building is in use.
