Scan to BIM Survey Process
The scan-to-BIM process entails using a 3D laser scanner to capture precise 3D scans of an existing building. The data is then utilized to create or update a BIM model.
1. Scan Planning
Careful planning is essential before carrying out the actual scanning. This stage involves figuring out the required details and information for the desired model. By making the architectural elements, amount of detail, and non-geometric features clear, the scanning process can be optimised to satisfy project standards.
2. Scanning
The scanning phase high-density point cloud data of the actual space or location are obtained using 3D laser scanners. By firing laser beams and noting the coordinates of the reflected beams, these scanners produce a precise point cloud that depicts the actual surroundings. Scanning entails carefully placing the scanner and gathering data from several angles to guarantee thorough coverage.
3. Data Processing
After scanning, the gathered point cloud data must be processed. Then, cloud data must be imported. The software aligns and processes each scan using specialized software that can handle massive datasets to produce a single-point cloud model.
4. 3D Modelling
After processing, the point cloud data must be transformed into a 3D BIM model. In this step, physical and functional information from the point cloud is extracted using modelling software, such as Autodesk Revit, to depict the as-built settings accurately. The modeller enhances the BIM model by identifying building elements, geometry refinement, property assignment, and integration of scanned data.
5. Model Integration and Analysis
After creation, you can utilize the 3D BIM model for various analyses and combine it with additional project data. To optimise the project’s design, construction, and operation, stakeholders can use the integrated model to examine energy, simulate construction sequences, assess clash detection, evaluate progress, and conduct other analyses.
