Sumit Singhal Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination.

The team converted 3D scanned images of an educational center into an information rich, intelligent BIM models with LOD-300 with Architecture & Structure disciplines.
Managing huge volumes of scanned data files and working with them
Rectifying the inconsistencies in scanned data and recreating the missing scanned data using engineering assumptions
Completion of the project – that demanded complex modeling, complete with architectural and structural details, within a very tight deadline
Solution:
All the scanned data in .pcg format was imported into Revit and surfaces were restructured, to create an intelligent BIM with LOD 300 with architectural and structure disciplines.
Renovation for a major section of the educational facility became easy, the basic structure was retained and the client saved around 20% costs on renovation due to the availability of well documented information
Information rich, intelligent BIM, provided a thorough documentation of the “as built structure”
This further improved the operations and management of the educational center
The scanned data was extremely heavy. It consisted of nearly 300 scans and several photometric images
All these .pcg files were was imported into Revit and divided into sections to set up a model file
A team of modelers worked in shifts to restructure the entire building with all the architectural and structural details
10mm accuracy modeling was done and within 24 days, an intelligent BIM with LOD 300 was created
Scanned data for some parts of the building was missing and the one available had a lot of inconsistencies
At this point, the team communicated with the client and restructured the missing parts based on engineering assumptions and using the reference images
