While display options are ultimately cosmetic, understanding the options at the outset of a project can have a significant effect on both how 3D laser scan data [...]
DJS Associates recently completed a 3D Laser Scanning/BIM (Building Information Modeling) documentation project for Foulger-Pratt Development in Washington, DC. In just one day, 1.9 million unique measurements were collected as part the 3D laser scanning process. 78 scan positions were used, including ground-level scans around the exterior, and roof-level scans. BIM modeling was completed by [...]
