Some of the fantastic innovations in Building Information Modeling (BIM) has involved large-scale 3D scanning. The projects include a small building to a very large architectural design. By understanding the vitality, Future Gen Technologies, a popular Revit training institute in Hyderabad providing BIM course training also and becomes the best Revit training institute in Hyderabad. we provide the training online also and now because of the effectiveness, our training institute is becoming the top online BIM training institute in Hyderabad.

If the scanning is going to be performed in building information modelling (BIM) software, more details can be obtained. But the components present in the building like furniture, items, curtains hinder the scanning process. Further scanning is a time- consuming process and tedious. That’s why in BIM course training, we provide knowledge in both scan to BIM and also point clouds to BIM methods.

Building Information Modeling and Point Clouds

In the BIM course training, point clouds are known as the product of 3-dimensional laser scanning process. This technology is very useful from scanning large regions rapidly and effectively, but specialized software is required to obtain the information.

One of the software is scan to BIM for Revit. It performs a major task. It creates a native Revit geometry from a point cloud. In our BIM training institute, we provide the training about the software. This scan to BIM does this having a capacity to recognize and place a number of architectural components ranging from walls and columns to ductworks and pipes.

In the BIM course training, another software is used for effective modelling. That is point cloud to BIM models or Revit models conversion, which is a well-defined technique and includes some points like:

  1. Point cloud models can be obtained by scanning and the scanning files have to be converted to.rcp,.rcs,.las,.pts files, which are user compatible in BIM platforms. These scanning files are transformed into a polygonal mesh and then to exact 3D geometry.
  2. the software will facilitate the import and by registration, it can start the conversion to CAD. Time is taken to finish the import of files and it will depend excessively upon many factors like scan file size, computer speed etc.
  • Dumping process of the entire scanned data into the computer will not be permitted. If the scanning is done for a large structure, like an educational institute or a university or a train station, then it will take time and if the scan is small, individual furniture pieces, then the import is quicker. It will also depend on the speed of the response of the computer. All this information has given in the BIM course training in the
BIM training institute in Hyderabad.

  1. the imported data in the point cloud has to be well interpreted, because of which the scanning process becomes higher in the density and greater will be the accuracy in geometry. The total time taken for modelling of the entire scan data depends upon how small details are you focusing on.
  2. Once the entire process is completed it is verified for geometric dimensioning as well as accuracy with original cloud scan by the method of point cloud.
