For example, a composite wall has many layers with different settings like thickness, materials, etc. However, architects prefer it for their projects because the elements can be easily customized for architectural needs. Graphisoft ArchiCAD can be used by both architects and engineers to plan the aesthetics and technical aspects of a construction project. The point cloud is the basis for the facade restoration plans and orthographic photographs. A cut is simply made in a different place in the point cloud. Generating additional cross-sections is very easy with a point cloud. The point cloud can be used directly as in the Graphisoft ArchiCAD design program (although it can also be used for AutoCAD or Autodesk REVIT) to configure a 2D or 3D drawing or for post-processing of drawings. Modeling work can be done more easily when working with a point cloud. The scanner records the size and color image, so the point cloud can also serve as documentation and evidence. It is not necessary to return to the location of the building or installation. The laser scanner keeps the complete information. The point cloud immediately forms a 3D model (albeit from measurement points) that cannot be misinterpreted.
The biggest advantages of point clouds are: The big advantage compared to traditional surveying is that the entire building can be captured in a 3D point cloud and therefore accurate measurements of everything that has been scanned with the laser scanner are available. Measurement with laser scanners and the resulting laser scan data has many advantages over data obtained with traditional measurement methods. Being able to refer to any point within the point cloud in ArchiCAD.
To go from point cloud to model, ArchiCAD's Snap functionality offers the ability to configure it quickly and easily. It is possible to model BIM directly from point clouds since it has all the cutting functionalities: floor plans, cross sections, facades or the 3D window, both in axonometry and in perspective. Being part of the usual ArchiCAD process and workflow without the need to use other additional software. Trim and trim functions are fully integrated into ArchiCAD. All scan points can be adjusted in all views of the model (plan, elevation, 3D section, etc.). This allows the user to see, for example, the entire scan or to see only one plant of the scan.
It is advisable not to make point clouds larger than 2 to 3 GB.ĪrchiCAD will automatically display more or fewer scan points when zooming in and out. Library items in ArchiCAD have a maximum size (per item). It also supports other formats like XYZ.ĪrchiCAD reads the point cloud files and translates it to a library item. ArchiCAD supports the E57 universal file format, including color information. Although the import capacity is tied to the size of the point cloud files, the program supports reading multiple point cloud files in a project. With ArchiCAD's very fast response time it is possible to import point clouds. Because of this, it is possible to work with a point cloud in ArchiCAD. ArchiCAD offers the fastest responsiveness, especially with the most complex models. Waiting for large and complex views to load is a thing of the past, because ArchiCAD now has 'predictive background processing' that anticipates user actions. With ArchiCAD you can work easily, efficiently and quickly on all types of architectural BIM models, from design to implementation. Great strides have been made in the field of BIM performance.
The development of ArchiCAD and point clouds has not stopped in recent years.
