The Ultimate helping assistance or guide for successful Scan to BIM Service
Introduction to Scan to BIM Services
The process of creating a digital representation of an existing building infrastructure with all its physical and functional characteristics, the service that is undertaken is called San to BIM. It also assists in capturing all the data in a 3D form and thus the process of 3D scan is taken into consideration which is then later converted into 3D BIM model.
In the year 1990, for designing and construction purposes the process of laser scanning was taken into consideration and this was at the initial stage and in the field of construction. This is the process that is now very much in demand and is being used by major AEC professionals across the globe. Now with this said let us proceed further and have a look at the process of scan to BIM functions and its way how it is applied with this latest technology driven industry.
Work process of Scan to BIM service
Now proceeding further, below is the details that will let us know as to how the service of Scan to BIM works. It is basically divided into 4 stages and those are as mentioned below.
(1) Identification of the required information
(2) Scan planning
(3) Scanning
(4) 3D modeling
Now proceeding further, let us take a deep understanding of the service that assist in knowing the entire functionality of the service Scan to BIM in which it will have the details of point cloud scan to BIM as well.
(1) Information requirement for BIM application:
Before we all proceed with the process of scan to BIM process, it is very much necessary as well as crucial to understand and determine the requirement for the creation of the model/drawings. It is very much understood that firstly to identify the level of the details and the models because depending upon the accuracy the improvement of the reliability of the project is checked. Thus, here the process of as-built BIM is the recommended and intended application. However, the higher the level of detail, the more is the demand and estimation of the cost. Thus, a process needs to be made which is considered as a trade-off and that should be between the cost and the data density. Now, below is the list of some of the information that will identify the details.
(a) Required elements of the buildings.
(b) Level of developments (LOD).
(c) Need and demand for the non-geometric attributes.
(2) Scan Planning
Before acquiring for the process of scan, the engineers set a parameter in which scan planning is important. This is because in today's world, to find any existing file for BIM for the building is difficult, thus the scanning parameters can be termed to be a beneficial process. It includes the process of identifying all the important and necessary attributes for scanning and to get it in a better way, some of them are listed below.
(a) Precision and accuracy
(b) Resolution of space
(c) Coverage
(d) Other details like resolutions, location, angular setting, etc.
(3) Scanning - capture or apprehend the reality
The function of scan to BIM is done with the help of a 3D laser scanner, that is able to collect all the accurate and precise data that are with high speed information. The device here has an eye-safe laser rotating that is of high speed. The placement of it is on the tripod at the site, and as an when the lights of lasers hit any hard object, the position gets recorded as is coordinated, this term is known as "points' '. These points and clusters are then mapped together, and representing a highly accurate and clear digital picture. Once all these points are mapped together, the scanner then prepares a colored 3D mapping of the site that has multiple viewpoints, and this term is called point cloud scan services.
The 3D laser scanner is the process that captures every piece of information and that is the interior and exterior of the model. With the help of the software Revit, this process becomes easier and faster to get the apt information so that there is no mistake or error that may lead to delay in delivering the project. The scanning process will thus include the process of MEP, HVAC, and MEPF too.
(4) 3D-Modeling - As-built stage, set and ready for the new build.
This is the final stage of scan to bim service that actually converts the acquired data of point cloud scan into 3D BIM model, this is then termed as the stage of as-built of an existing stage. Now proceeding further, below are two points that are narrowed down by us to make this process more clearer and easier.
(i) Checking the point cloud data
With the help of the software like Autodesk's recap, the point cloud scan of the building system is imported. It is the BIM modeler who is extracting the physical and functional information of the building and then checking the details of the building information. This option gives the view of the point to check the structure's information that gives holistics view and ensures that the data is accurate with regards to the representations.
(ii) 3D modeling
It is the technique in which with the help of scanning process the data of as-built can be illustrated and the condition of the building can be known. On the basis of this data the team will be able to understand the next process of the work and the purpose for it, such as remodeling, redesigning, or renovating any part of the building. After all this discussion, comes the final stage of scan to BIM where the data is checked as per the way we desire and thus it is termed to be an as-built stage including the information of building systems.
Phases and various application of Scan to BIM
The reason and motive behind this service is to capture the real-time and the actual as-built condition of the building. BIM services help in sharing the information as to how the building will be looking and along with that it facilitates the process throughout the lifecycle. Thus, let us check for some of the details of Scan to BIM Services that are very much benefitted at different stages or phases of the construction projects.
(1) Design
(2) Construction
(3) Facility Management
Benefits of Scan to BIM Services - Valid reasons to invest in this service.
(1) The design that is created and derived from scan to BIM is more realistic and gives more assured quality.
(2) It reduces the frequency of visiting the site, and thus at the end the time is increased as the contractor can initiate the planning process and check for the project risk.
(3) Decision making process is faster and if there is any alteration required the same can be done.
(4) For better sustainability of the building BIM is the best process.
(5) 3D models are the best source as the data can be compared from the derived information of 2D surveys.
(6) Scan to BIM is the process that gives transparency of the work, and collaboration becomes faster.
(7) Data collaboration and coordination can be done easily, firmly and accurately.
