3D Scan to BIM Model for a Swiss Architectural Company
Case Study
Project Description
Client: Architectural Company in Switzerland
Scope: 3D Scan to BIM Architectural Model of a Multi-Storey Building
Deliverables: 1. 3D Architectural Revit Mode (Interior + Exterior) 2. AutoCAD Plans
Challenge: Developing Precise 3D Scan to BIM model using average quality scanned data
Solution: CRESIRE utilized advanced Point Cloud Modeling in Revit techniques to convert Laser Scan Data into LOD 300 Architectural Interior and Exterior Revit model. This model served as the basis for generating a complete set of 2D architectural drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and sections.
Goals
- Generate a precise LOD 300 Exterior and Interior Revit Architectural model of the 5-storey building
- Improve project efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional methods.
- Deliver accurate 2D architectural drawings for smooth execution
Action Plan for 3D Scan to BIM : Road Map To Successful Process
Point Cloud Processing
- Reason: Clean and prepare the point cloud data for efficient manipulation in Revit.
- Actions: Noise reduction, filtering, registration, segmentation, and surface generation.
Model Development in Revit
- Reason: Leverage Revit’s parametric functionality for precise and editable elements.
- Actions: Build walls, floors, ceilings, openings, and other architectural components using point cloud references
Clash Detection and Coordination
- Reason: Identify and resolve potential conflicts between design elements
- Actions: Utilize Revit’s built-in tools for clash detection and run automated checks.
2D Architectural Drawings Generation
- Reason: Deliver clear and comprehensive construction documents for contractors.
- Actions: Extract 2D plans, elevations, and sections directly from the Revit model.
Quality Control and Verification
- Reason: Ensure Point cloud modeling in Revit accuracy and compliance with client requirements
- Actions: Perform thorough visual inspections, compare against existing documentation, and utilize QA/QC protocols.
