Point cloud Modeling
Point clouds are a collection of three-dimensional positions in space, and these positions are usually associated with a three-dimensional model. This information is generally three-dimensional and 4-dimensional when the color is also shown. The data in a point cloud provides a lot of information. Point clouds created by 3Dlaser scanning are exportable in BIM software. Revit uses point cloud modeling for As-built, quality measurement, inspection, restoration, and reconstruction regarding optimizing building energy.
What is the advantage of Point cloud?
-
Accurate and faster outputs for scanning a building in 3D models. Ground-based can obtain precise results on the millimeter scale, Not having the challenge of as-built with point modeling in Revit.
Because Point Cloud scans can provide a much higher level of accuracy than any hand-held device, without a doubt which leads to improved project team collaboration.
360-degree visualization makes it possible to obtain error-free plans in the bim model to be reconstructed. -
Due to the higher accuracy of the cloud point, you can make more accurate estimates for your project. And stay within the project budget set, while you will face fewer unexpected happens. Laser scanning with good point cloud modeling can reduce the need for rework on the project and give you further information.
Formats for clouds file are:
- 1. XYZ
- 2. OBJ
- 3. E57
- 4. LAS
- 5. PLY
- 6. PTX
- 7. PCS, RCS, RCP Developed by AUTODESK
How does BIM software help to point cloud model?
The files in these formats (PCS, RCS, RCP) will be imported into Recap Autodesk for checking; measurements and reviews are done in this case.
After all the models insert into Revit for modeling and documentation,
Like the picture below.
The َAutodesk recap software workflows
As you can see, the point cloud model in this software can measure the model and leave a comment for the teams.
