Scan to BIM: Existing Conditions Modeling & Documentation in Revit
Point cloud to BIM modeling in Revit, featuring LOD 100–300 existing conditions models, custom families, architectural drawings, and coordinated schedules.
The objective was to convert point cloud data into an accurate and coordinated existing-conditions model in Revit.The model was progressively developed from a conceptual level to the required level of detail, followed by the preparation of drawings and schedules directly from the model.
What Made This Project Complex
The key challenge was translating point cloud data into an accurate Revit model, maintaining existing components, dimensions and coordination while developing from LOD 100 to LOD 300. This also involved creating custom Revit families and ensuring consistency across all drawings and schedules.
How Milestone PLM delivered
We established a standardised workflow, beginning with point cloud assessment and conceptual modelling before progressively developing the model to the required level of detail.Custom Revit families were created for different building components and fixtures. The completed model was then used to generate coordinated existing-condition drawings and schedules.
- Point Cloud to BIM Modelling (LOD 100–300)
- Detailed Existing Conditions Revit Model
- Custom Revit Families for Building Components
- Existing Conditions Drawings & Documentation
- Coordinated Schedules & Architectural Elevations
How we structured the work
Point Cloud Review and Assessment
Reviewed the point cloud data to understand existing site conditions, identify key building elements and establish the modelling requirements.
Conceptual Model Development
Created the initial Revit model at LOD 100, establishing the primary building elements and overall spatial layout based on the scanned information.
Detailed BIM Model Development
Progressively developed the model towards LOD 300 by incorporating existing components, fixtures and required details while maintaining accuracy and coordination.
Revit Family Development
Created custom Revit families for different building components and fixtures to support consistent representation and efficient modelling.
Existing Conditions Documentation
Prepared floor plans, ceiling plans, sections, elevations and interior elevations, along with the required schedules directly from the Revit model.
Model Review and Quality Checks
Reviewed the model against the point cloud data and checked the consistency of model elements, drawings and schedules.
