Point Cloud Integration: A Revolution in 3D Model/BIM Control
We enrich each 3D model or BIM with a point cloud clouds. These clouds are adjusted to meet specific needs with a resolution of 1 to 2 centimetres. They offer an immersive and precise perspective, faithfully reflecting the reality of the project.
Key Benefits of Point Cloud Integration
Control accuracy :
By integrating the point clouds into the 3D models and BIMYou can check every detail. This ensures maximum fidelity to the actual site data. The model delivered is an exact representation of the building constructed, in accordance with the "As-Built" concept.
Simplifications revealed:
Point clouds instantly reveal simplifications and discrepancies. For example, you will immediately see whether a wall that is curved in reality is modelled straight, enabling rapid corrections.
Virtual Visit Experiences :
You can accompany the coloured point clouds with virtual tours. Users can explore every corner of the project through a simple link, offering a realistic perspective and a better understanding of the project.
This technology is now essential for architects, engineers and project owners wishing to validate the conformity of the work with the initial plans. Our experts use specialised software to analyse tolerances between the BIM model and the point cloud. These tools provide immediate visual detection of discrepancies. This facilitates real-time adjustments and ensures rigorous quality monitoring. During the site or post-construction phase, this 'as-built' verification becomes a strategic step in reducing costly errors and ensuring the reliability of building documentation throughout its lifecycle.
3d model/BIM verification: the synergy between 3D models, BIM and point clouds
Understanding Beyond Modelling
You can use 3D models and BIM models for planning and design, but they have limitations in terms of realistic rendering. By integrating point clouds, we compensate for these shortcomings by offering visual details such as colour and texture. This improves overall understanding and facilitates decision-making.
The Evolution of the Point Cloud - High Definition Vision
Each point in the cloud acts like a pixel in a high-resolution image, capturing impressive detail. We integrate the colours, textures and visual characteristics of the elements in an organic way, generating an immersive experience close to reality.
360° Perspectives - Early detection of problems
You can examine every angle of the project from a 360-degree perspective. This allows early detection of problems, clarification of ambiguities and validation of plans. This helps to minimise errors and delays during construction.
Realistic Overlay - Merging Models and Reality
Our distinctive approach is to superimpose models and coloured point clouds by activating layers. This fusion creates a realistic rendering, where the 3D model is in harmony with the real data captured by the point clouds. This synergy transforms the way you interact with the project, enabling more accurate and informed decision-making.
Thanks to our expertise in BIM verification software and a rigorous superimposition method, we can guarantee a reliable analysis of any discrepancies between what has been built and what is planned. This approach ensures complete traceability and better management of the construction phases, for deliverables that are compliant and usable without approximation.
Practical use of integrated point clouds in 3D/BIM modelling
Accuracy Verification: A Facilitated Approach
The integration of point clouds enables architects to carry out precise and rapid checks. You can view and measure directly in the cloud, detecting potential discrepancies between the model and reality. Automatic verification software can generate reports showing differences in distance between drawn elements and points in the cloud, using colours to indicate discrepancies.
Precise measurements and details revealed
Point clouds enable measurements of unprecedented precision. You can record minute details with impressive accuracy, ensuring maximum quality and precision at every stage of the project.
The process of integrating point clouds into the 3D/BIM model
From Laser Scanning to Modelling - From Reality to Virtuality
We use two approaches to integrate point clouds:
Existing Building Survey :
A 3D laser scanner captures the details of an existing building. The point cloud generated becomes the basis for creating the 3D model or BIM, ensuring accurate and immersive modelling.
Control and Alignment with Reality :
We use a 3D scanner at key stages to capture the built reality. The resulting point cloud is compared with the model, revealing any discrepancies between the projected and the built, ensuring conformity with the plans.
Conclusion
By revolutionising architectural modelling through the integration of point clouds, 3D Scan Bat takes precision to new heights. Each 3D or BIM model is imbued with meticulously captured detail, creating exceptional fidelity to reality. This approach enables meticulous verification, revealing differences and promoting immersive collaboration.
By integrating this method into your BIM workflow, you gain a significant competitive advantage. The combination of point cloud density and legibility of a 3D/BIM model creates a bridge between the physical reality and the digital model. This dual vision enables not only technical validation, but also better communication with your teams, partners and customers. At 3D Scan Bat, we believe that well-used data is the key to faster, safer and smarter projects. Find out how our approach can transform your project management today.
