AECCafe Voice Archive for the ‘Sefaira’ CategoryAECCafe BIM Interoperability QuestionnaireFriday, August 10th, 2018The built environment is increasingly more digitized, relying heavily on large building models to hold all aspects of a building project.

Bay Bridge East Span Seismic Safety Project AECCafe Voice’s Reality Capture QuestionnaireWednesday, February 28th, 2018Reality Capture has taken the AEC world by storm in recent years with its ability to capture existing conditions and create 3D models out of photographs or laser scans, without seams. Technologies used include 3D laser scanning, mobile and aerial LiDAR, and photogrammetry. This resulting point data is reconstructed into a 3D model. While accurate, LiDAR only captures 3D data leaving color out. Photogrammetry is another method by which Reality Capture is achieved. This type of Reality Capture uses photographs to reconstruct a 3D image.
