Structural Scan to BIM Modelling for a Commercial Building, UK

To create a 3D model of the Basement to the fifth floor & sheet creation in Revit from Scans provided by the client.

We were required to create a 3D Model in Revit for an existing building from the scan data. It was a commercial building and we were required to model the structural scope in LOD 300. The project area was approximately 17,275 sq.m. and it was executed in Revit 2019.

Part 1: BIM Modelling (Architecture & Structure)

Scan to BIM modeling of Existing building in Revit

Elements modelled: All structural walls, columns, slabs, upstands/downstands beams, rainwater pipes, joists, bracing, roof structure, rafters, trusses, floor, underfloor, stairs, ramps, external/internal walls, ceilings, bulkheads, voids/holes and material specs

Floors were modelled to match the point cloud with a 2m x 2m grid, by modifying sub-points.

All families were to be named accordingly, with the correct size.

Part 2: Sheet Creation

• Sheets of all the floor plan from basement to fifth floor.
• Sheet of Roof Plan
• Sheets of reflected ceiling plan of all the floors.
• Sheet of two Cross sections.
• Sheet of 4 elevations.

Part 3: BIM Modelling (MEP)

Elements modelled: Rainwater pipes & Manhole covers
