Course Overview
This 5-day course focuses on the integration of laser scanning and point cloud technology into Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. Participants will explore the end-to-end “Scan-to-BIM” process, from capturing reality using laser scanners to generating precise BIM models in software like Revit. Ideal for professionals involved in renovation, retrofit, or complex site modeling, the course emphasizes best practices in data acquisition, registration, modeling, and accuracy validation for “creating BIM from laser scan data” and “converting point clouds to Revit models.”
