With the Matterport 3D Showcase he no longer has a need to go back on site to confirm that the existing conditions were modelled correctly, removing as much as a day’s travel from his schedule. And modelling with both an accurate point cloud and visuals is the key to modelling efficiency.īergman frequently will go back to the job site to visually confirm that the Revit model matches reality. This reference material is immediately at hand without having to manage any image files. Modelling time in Revit was decreased by 40% which was also expedited by his 24/7 access to perfect, immersive visual references to the job site. And since the point cloud is delivered from Matterport as a single, fully registered point cloud there is no time spent manually registering the data to get a final point cloud. Due to the accuracy of the point cloud, measuring in the future will be minimized, cutting his time spent measuring by 60%. With similar projects, modelling in Revit with hand measurements would have taken 4-5 days to trace over the as built. When he compared the point cloud data to his hand-taken measurements, he found they were accurate up to the centimetre. He did this to retain the colorization of the point clouds, as importing Matterport point clouds directly into Revit can remove the colorization of the points.įrom there, Bergman saved the ReCap file and imported it directly into Revit to model on top of the 3D structure. Once he had the point cloud, he was able to upload and index it in ReCap to view 3D model. Because he wanted to double check the accuracy of the point cloud, he still took the time to manually hand-measure the MEP room, which took him approximately 2-3 hours to accomplish. With the Matterport Pro 3D Camera, Bergman was able to capture a medium-density single registered point cloud (200 MB) of the MEP room in under an hour. Matterport Scanning 60% Faster than Hand Measuring, Point Clouds Speed Revit Modeling by 40% New tool required to sync with current Revit/ReCap workflow.

New tool needed to simplify and expedite the modelling process.Manual measurements for modelling as builts represent a significant time expense per project.
