level of development
 Learn how to save time in handling and modeling from large-size
point clouds
 Learn about QC workflows using Revit templates, Navisworks, and
Virtual Reality

 Effect of Poor Information
Uncoordinated Information & Geospatially Incorrect Information

• Lack of clearly communicated survey information required.

• Lack of good density scan.
• Lack of coordinates registration cross verification.

Level of Accuracy (LOA)

Level of Accuracy (LOA) is a scale developed

by USIBD for setting the accuracy of data
gathering and for elements modeled based
off of gathered data. For example, a laser
scan could be done to meet LOA 20, and the
elements modeled off of it could meet LOA
30.

Level of Effort – What to include
and what not to
Determine - Level of Effort (LOE)
 Identifying Risks

• Verify if the coordinates are appropriate

• Verify if RGB values have been registered.
• Verify if the panoramic spears appear in Recap.
• Verify if As-builts are available.
• Verify the total size of scans & format in which it will be available.
• Verify the output format and the tools that will be used, agree on the workflow.
• Verify the Common Data Environment (CDE).
• Verify project schedule.
• Verify the Priority Areas.
• Estimation based on As-built scan PDF.
Identifying Tools
Standardized Workflows – For Easy Implementation
Standardized Workflows – For Easy Implementation
Customized Workflows – For Each Project
Automation to Copy Large Sets of Data
 Model Setup (Guideline)

• Always use the point cloud scan coordinates to setup the shared coordinates in
Revit – in that way it will help align your model to it when exported to world
coordinate.
• Have an independent Revit model with scans loaded into it. Beneficial when there
are more than one discipline working on independent As-built Revit models.
 Document the Discrepancies / Assumptions
