POINTCLOUD TO BIM SERVICE
In the construction process, it is crucial that there is a clear view of the existing room or space. Besides that, revision is easier when there is a clear model of the existing situation. BIM service makes this possible with the use of a point cloud. In a point cloud, rooms and objects are precisely displayed, using measurements that are done with a laser scanner. In this way, a geometric representation that corresponds with reality can be created to depict what the current situation looks like.
Using the method above, eventually the point cloud contains a million measurement points of objects & buildings. These can be used to depict a clear view of the existing situation. An example of use is when a monumental building needs renovation. If there are no drawings available for the current situation, or if these drawings are not accurate enough, the point cloud helps identify and add the missing pieces.
This geometric depiction of reality can serve as an addition to already existing pieces or as a replacement for the old ones. A point cloud could also be used for projects that are already finished to evaluate results and make revisions easier. The use of point cloud scans within Revit helps to create precisely positioned and coordinated models. This results in a reliable model that can later be used for navigation and information processing.
