GeoSLAM is the ultimate scan to BIM tool

The way we understand buildings is changing.

“Scan to BIM” means capturing a space, and turning it into a digital model that can be used for planning, monitoring or managing the built environment, and communicating and sharing project information with stakeholders. GeoSLAM Scan to BIM is a simple way of rapidly capturing essential information about a space, creating a point cloud and importing the data into a BIM software, like?Autodesk REVIT.

Why GeoSLAM For Scan To BIM?

• Rapid scanning to create or update a BIM model?up to 10 times faster than traditional scanners
• Cover large areas with GeoSLAM?from up to 100 meters away
• User friendly technology?quick and easy data capture that you don’t need to outsource
• Import, view and interrogate?all data captured, and rapidly create valuable 2D and 3D layouts and placements of your site
• Stairs, small rooms, tight spaces and GNSS denied environments?are easy with GeoSLAM
• Fast, repeatable?data capture

Case study 1:

Large family home

Step 1 : Collect data

Where: A large family home in the outskirts of Prague, Czech Republic

Goal : Create a 3D model in REVIT to assist in the redesign of the property

Products used:?ZEB Go,?Draw BIM?,?Autodesk REVIT

The ZEB Go, handheld mobile mapping system was used to collect all data required over three stories within?8 minutes?of turning the scanner on.

Step 2 : Process the data in GeoSLAM Connect and Draw BIM

The data is uploaded to GeoSLAM Connect on site, which creates a 3D point cloud. The point cloud is natively opened in Draw BIM, an add on package to GeoSLAM C0nnect. Floorplans and sections are extracted, so the data could be aligned and walls squared up. The data is exported in RCP format, ready to be loaded into REVIT.

A new REVIT project is created, and the technician creates levels and corresponding views, using the point cloud for reference. Walls, doors, windows, the roof, and other key architectural and structural components were modelled. The finished model is LOD (level of design) 300.
