Point Cloud To BIM Services | Scan To BIM

High-standard point cloud processing to create informative and intelligent 3D point cloud models

Point cloud to BIM modeling is a practical way to create an as-is or as-built 3D model of a structure with all the additional details. Point cloud 3D models are intelligent BIM models that hold the concerned system's spatial, geometrical, and surrounding topographical information. The Scan to BIM Workflow utilizes parametric object-oriented modeling to generate high-level 3D BIM models from a 3D laser-scanned point cloud. The 3D scanning point cloud offers intuitive data used by sophisticated BIM software for parametric modeling. In addition, the vectorization of laser-scanned points gives a point cloud model that can be used as the basis of analysis for reconstruction, demolition, and topographic surveys.

3D laser scanning – measured as-built survey for capturing accurate real-world information

Point cloud laser scanning helps you capture the as-is condition of any construction or structure to simply the AEC processes ten-fold

3D Architectural BIM Model

Laser scanning services are the process of using a LiDAR instrument to capture the geospatial points of a structure. The scope and importance of 3D laser scanning services are vast. The most common use of laser scanning by the AEC industry is for laser scan to BiM. Professionals use laser-scanned data to produce as-built 2D drawings, 3D models, and BIM models for simplified construction analysis and operations. BIM laser scanning saves surveying time, provides accurate results, facilitates holistic building analysis, and sets a precedent for renovation or demolition assessment. We offer proficient 3D laser scanning to BIM services to the AEC industry of the USA, helping them save time and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a scan to BIM workflow?
      Recreating accurate real-life information within the BIM model has become essential in construction projects. Cross-checking the existing conditions with the BIM model helps increase the project's overall efficiency. In simple terms, scan to BIM workflow captures or scans the real-life physical structure using high-grade LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) devices. The captured data is stored as a structured point cloud. The point cloud is then processed in CAD software like REVIT to output manageable information through 3D BIM models.
  • How do you convert point cloud data into 3D models?
      We use the capabilities of REVIT to produce accurate BIM models from a laser-scanned point cloud. Currently, the latest edition of REVIT supports *.rcp and *.rcs point cloud formats. First of all, we import the point cloud data into the REVIT. Then, we create multiple levels of the project building, set the correct positions for elements, and finally, tweak the different aspects of the 3D models for maximum accuracy.
  • What is the application of point cloud BIM modeling?
      Point cloud modeling is used for various purposes depending on the project phase and requirement. Scan to BIM can solve two major problems faced during the design phase and construction phases:
    • Design Phase: As-built data presented to the BIM modeler is often incomplete or unstructured, leading to time-consuming workflows with unreliable output. Errors in the BIM model can cause substantial delays and directly affect project costing. Scan-to-BIM workflows provide accurate real-time data for accurate 3D modeling and enable improved design decisions regarding the project.
    • Construction Phase: During the construction phase, scan-to-bim workflow helps verify and validate the data in BIM models. Manually verifying the model data with real-time construction is time consuming and challenging process. Scan to BIM helps in streamlined cross-checking between the as-built structure and as-designed BIM models hassle-free, saving time, money, and workforce.
    • Surveying Phase: Scan to BIM workflow can be adopted in the early stages of the project. Scan to BIM can help analyze the topographical and utility works of the site vicinity. In addition, new construction in challenging locations can significantly benefit from point cloud modeling.
  • What are the benefits of point cloud modeling/scan to BIM?
      Some of the benefits of the scan to BIM workflows:
    • Point cloud modeling enables improved building design and 3D model creation.
    • Scan to BIM helps Streamline the construction workflows.
    • Facilitate as-built clash detection and coordination.
    • Scan to BIM helps mitigate on-site hazards/risks.
    • Scan to BIM helps facility managers in improved documentation management. It also helps in making better decisions for renovations.
    • Scan to BIM helps document complex heritage structures hassle-free.
