This technology makes it possible to visualize interior rooms, exterior facades, and difficult-to-reach mechanical and electrical equipment with accuracy and life-likeness. Scan-to-BIM is revolutionizing the building industry thanks to its wide acceptance and fast scanning speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scan_to_BIM_Workflow_process\"><\/span>Scan to BIM Workflow process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-site Data Collection using a 3D Laser Scanning Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The desired model&#8217;s level of detail must be identified before scanning to BIM to increase the accuracy of the as-built BIM for the intended use.
