IMAGINiT introduced Scan to BIM 2016.1 with some advanced features

BIM offers some advanced technology like large-scale 3D scanning of a building, an entire city as well as complicated architectural details. Once the scan is delivered to BIM software, if often requires to retreat the shapes manually for modeling purpose. The process is very laborious and tedious.

Point clouds are included in 3D laser scanning system. This technology is ideal for scanning large areas efficiently and in quickest possible time. But in order to convert them into accessible information, specialized software is essential.

Scan to BIM for Revit is such kind of software that generates native Revit geometry out of a point cloud to identify and assign several architectural elements like walls and columns to pipes and ductwork.

IMAGINiT develops Scan to BIM and the latest version is Scan to BIM 2016.1. This new version contains some advanced features which are described below :-

The first new feature is known as Create Mesh that facilitates the users to model complicated details like elaborate steeples as well as gargoyles smoothly. Besides, the users can also produce custom families and native Revit geometry out of these details.

Go through the following video for its functionalities :-

Create Mesh can streamline the process for remodeling, renovation and even historic preservation projects.

The another exciting feature is Auto-Find Walls that facilitates the users to explore with millions of points, lots of which symbolize single walls. With parameters like least height and width, it can generate a set of discovered walls and transform them into Revit elements. It also make differentiation amid other surfaces like floors and ceilings.

Go through the following video to get a live demonstration :- The users can avail a 21-day trial version that supports Revit 2014, 2015 or 2016.

Explore through energy analysis within Revit 2016

The users can use Revit 2016, to carry out Energy Analysis in a perfect and authentic way. The Conceptual Mass Mode and Use Building Element Mode, which contained in previous version, are now eliminated from the ribbon and are accessible in the Energy Settings dialog under the Analysis Mode pull down menu. A supplementary analysis mode-Use Conceptual Masses and Building Elements are now integrated facilitating users to carry out energy analysis on the model efficiently and precisely in case of transmitting the model from concept to detail design and the model contains these designs.

In case the chosen analysis mode includes building elements, while choosing Show Energy Model, Revit generates a 3D Energy Model view, and schedules toward Analytical Spaces and Analytical Surfaces which are analyzed and revised prior to conducting the energy simulation over the analytical model.

In Revit 2016, there exist a create energy model tool and it can be used to produce an energy analytical model. The users can view the model directly inside Revit and they don’t have to export the model through any third party programs to view it. Thus the users will gain superior control to ratify and check the energy analytical model for performing energy analysis in a greater and perfect manner.
