Matterport recently introduced the Matterport Pro3 Camera, with a high-precision LiDAR sensor, enabling the production of BIM models for architects. It is faster and more accurate (± 20mm) than previous cameras and can capture indoor and outdoor spaces in conditions from dim light to full sunlight. Here, we outline how we produce As Built 3D models for our Architects.
Scan the property, using the Pro3 Camera. For most residential properties, we capture indoor and outdoor, in approx. 2 hours.
Upload the scan data to Matterport Cloud, producing a 3D Virtual Tour of the property, including outdoor spaces.
Matterport also produces add-on BIM files, which we download from our cloud account.
Our experienced BIM engineer imports the BIM data into Autodesk Revit and produces Revit 3D model and files (RVT, IFC, DWG and PDF)
We deliver the finished .rvt and drawings to our Architects, who can open the model in Archicad or Revit, to accelerate their design process.
For our architects, it offers significant advantages to their project:
It is extremely efficient and inexpensive.
The site survey requires only a single person, is very easily coordinated and there's no need for any further on-site visits.
The 3D Virtual Tour facilitates collaboration for all involved in the project.
The BIM model, which is produced within days rather than weeks, means that Architects can start the design process immediately (and skip the tedious process of completing 3D modeling workflows).
There are significant time and cost savings.
The above process requires the latest Matterport Pro3 camera. It also requires extensive BIM experience. However, Daly Productions are in the unique position to deliver all of the above for the Architect, quickly and inexpensively.
