If so, this is a Building Information Model created from 3D Scan technology. Is there more to it than just scanning though? Let’s break down the process step by step.<\/p>\n
The first use of laser scanning in architecture was back in the 1990s. It was used to capture existing building conditions and design purposes. Now it is quickly becoming a standard way for construction companies to accomplish their Renovation, Refurbishment, Retrofit, or Reconstruction Projects.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1452700243026{margin-bottom: 39px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading stm_title_font_weight=”700″ text=”What is scan to BIM?” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Battambang%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Scan to BIM has four stages:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/strong>To make it easier to understand what Scan to BIM<\/u><\/a><\/span>\u00a0means, we’ll first discuss the necessary requirements for modeling. It’s important to list the desired level of detail in your 3D model so you can be sure it will meet the desired application. Higher modeling accuracy means that data in this BIM will be more accurate, but it also costs more time and money. Once you know how much time and money you have, you’ll need to weigh that against your desired level of accuracy. The following are some things identified during this stage:<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Once we’ve scanned the existing building with a Point Cloud Scan, we will convert it into a 3D BIM model<\/span> <\/u><\/a>with the as-built condition of the building. This stage of the Scan to BIM process consists of two major steps: acquiring and converting.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/strong>3D laser scanning is a way of measuring distances. A 3D Scanner uses a safe, eye-safe laser rotating fast enough to collect data at high speeds and with high precision. The device usually sits on a tripod on site and records the point where the laser beam hits any surface. Those points are mapped together in a highly accurate digital picture. Once all points are gathered, the scanner will colorize them to create a 3D map with multiple viewpoints, known as point cloud scanning.<\/p>\n The 3D laser scanner can capture the structure of both the outside and the inside, including concealed mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection installations. The scanned data is then translated into a 3D model using Revit.<\/p>\n There are many ways to execute a scanning process, including:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Before acquiring a 3D scan, you should determine what is important to include in the scan, otherwise you might miss something. There are many attributes that need to be determined before acquiring a scan. Below, there are just a few:<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n This scan technique will be illustrated with as-built conditions of the building. These conditions will then be used for a variety of purposes: remodeling, redesigning, and renovating some portion of the building. With this final stage of Scan to BIM \u00a0we’ll have our desired As-built model including all necessary building system detail.<\/p>\n One way in which AUTODESK helps Project Owners manage complex buildings is with AUTODESK \u00a0Recap. BIM modelers use this software to extract physical and functional attributes about each building system. In this stage, point cloud data is used to generate an accurate 3D representation of the building’s systems.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading stm_title_font_weight=”700″ text=”Various application of Scan to BIM” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Battambang%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Scan to BIM is a growing trend in the industry. The primary function of this technology is to capture the actual as-built conditions of a building. It can be used to manage knowledge repositories that generate and coordinate building facilities throughout the life cycle. Let’s look at how Scan to BIM <\/u>can be beneficial during different stages of construction projects.<\/p>\n A 3D BIM design of the construction site during the design stage can make it easier for designers to understand the site conditions and make decisions about their buildings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/u>\u00a0 BIM is a 3D representation that encompasses all the on-site construction work going on. It identifies any disparities between the as-built BIM model and an as-designed model, which are then closely compared to the tolerance values tagged in relevant codes and regulations. In the construction phase, there are many aspects to take into consideration like:<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Follow Milestone PLM Solutions for Mechanical Industry Updates, CAD Tips and Global CAD, CAM & FEA News.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Milestone PLM Solutions<\/u><\/a><\/span>\u202f\u202fwith its exclusive delivery center in India is a global\u202fCAD, CAM & FEA services outsourcing partner\u202fserving the needs of the Mechanical, Millwork and Automotive industry since 2004.
